  • Reno Pits Funnies

    The "Remember When..." thread inspired me to dig through my container of old photos and pull out a few of the funny things I've seen in the pits over the years.....

    First up is a tough-to-see photo of Voodoo, showing Rhino #45 kill marks.



    Next, the Pardue Pit's Reno '94 round-up:



    Strega really an International Harvester Mustang??



    One of my favorites...



    In case you can't read it, these are the items on the Top Ten list:

    1. Is it a Zero?
    2. Are you really racing this?
    3. Are you a T-6?
    4. Chinese Fighter?
    5. Single row engine?
    6. I know a R-2800 when I see one
    7. I used to fly these in WWII
    8. Does the prop turn backward?
    9. Boris - Is he from Italy?
    10. How did you get it here?

    IF I COULD SEE THE DARN PICTURES RANDY, I COULD SEE THE HUMOR, HAH! But, alas, I am at work and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I can't see em. Maybe I'll be able to see them at home tonight. I got the pictures back from Sunday's ARA Basecamp. I think you'll like the ones of the "kids" from the TPS Class. I'll resize them and post them up later.

      I can't really attach it here locally, unfortunately, because it makes me save the resolution so small that you can't read anything.

        Yeah, plus the website that you are linking to is denied by the Alaska Airlines server. They are protecting me from myself I could see the other ones you posted of FIFI at home, so I think it's just the big brother thing. I'll have to resize the photos to upload the TPS pictures on here. So, as soon as I get a chance this morning I'll do that. I have to watch Madison right now. You know I have my priorities straight. Right? Hopefully nothing breaks in the next hour or two. I would rather be watching it at home, but I'll take what I can get. HAH!

          Here you go Randy. Thought you might like to see these. I like the prop "blur" in the Desert Art photo. Thanks for bringing the students from the AF TPS out. They were really a fun group to have out there and I know all of the regulars out there had a great time talking to them. And as Wayne espoused in his Nellis spiel, they do make you proud, (old, but proud) ME PLEEEEZE! HAH! Enjoy.

            This should help. Let me know if it's different and I'll look for your solution.
            Noope. Ummmm just little white squares with little red squares in the middle. Don't think I can crack the Alaska security setup. I'll try anything though.

                        If I figure out how to get beyound Alaska's Security Setup - You'll be the first to know.

                        I appreciate the thought. I have been able to see all of the pictures at home, though it would be nice to see them at work. So, if you come up with something, let me know. If not, it's okay.
