    Re: Do you remember the time.....

    I was out on the pylons when that picture was taken- and I guarantee it is not a fake. Chuck Hall flew nearly the same line in "Tipsy Too".
    Have any shots of that Neal???

      I downloaded the Tipsy Two shot from 1983 by Chuck Aro, as posted a couple of years ago on Pylon1. Mark should have it and he's every bit as low as Lefty.

          Mark, Do you still have the "Tipsy Too" down LOW picture?
          I think you actually used it as your POTW at one time??? RG

                  Re: Do you remember the time.....LOW Flying

                  Brad, I am the worlds greatest fighter pilot in my high performance
                  1969 Grumman Yankee- Easy for Victor take pictures of me as I blast by
                  at .2 mach!

                  I think the course Chuck Hall flew in #28 "Tipsy Too" was one of the best I recall seeing at Reno, right up there with Dick Laidley in "Conquest", and Lefty in the P-38.

                  I guess Reno cracking down on low flying has really eliminated some of the spectacularly low flying we saw years ago- good call IMHO.

                  Papa Goss used an interesting strategy when he started racing "Warlock", he would head right for the pylon- and put the wing down when he got there- figured if he didn't hit it, he didn't cut it!!!
                  I am sure there are some pictures out there of him pretty low and tight to the poles.....

                  Like Rick Brickert told me- "you can only tie the world record for low flying". All the best, RG (OBR)

                          Great shots Neal! Thanks for sharing.

                          I have some shots of it on the ramp after a rain where it just glows.
