Reno, Nevada, Air Races 2007 |
 |
Brent and I met Grandma and Grandpa at the Reno Air Races in September.
There are a lot of planes here and we took our pickup and camper and
stayed at a friends house near the airport. In fact, we could walk
to a portion of the raceway.
Of course, we also had tickets to get inside the race area and grand-stands. This little cub took off and landed on this pickup. A pretty cool trick. |
 |
The Snowbirds from Canada were at this years show. They put on an excellent display of formation flying. |

Another picture of the snowbirds. |
 |
Now this is neat, they flew the shape of a heart and then flew an arrow through it. |
 |
This is Grandpa and Grandson (Brent) enjoying some of the planes. |
 |
There were so many planes I couldn't even begin to name them. Big horsepower planes all the way to sport high performance Glass-air models. |
 |
The heritage flight was four military airplanes. Brent had to help
name the airplanes for me. He says they are a P38, P51, F16, and some
turbine driven model (unknown at this time).
They put on a real cool display. |
 |
This is one of the air show planes. These guys flying these machines are really good. I have never seen an airplane do cartwheels before. |
 |
The races included every high performance plane imaginable. These two here are jets. Click on the following links for short videos of the air show (you can also right-click and "save target as" to save to your desktop - preferred method): |
