Oh boy, it had been 11 years already since I last flew to the Reno Air Races with Jennifer. Arnaud nicely invited me to join him in his plane, so it was hard to say no, even if my schedule was super packed before and after that weekend.
His TBM got us there in no time:
Reno Air Races had nice static displays as well as planes on display when they were not flying:
some races used very small planes, less drag, more speed
purple, nice...
looks fast
Other static displays:
Brian Shul seems to be at all those airshows
that is one big ass engine :)
one vendor had a collection of lots of engines parts broken by overwork
valve that fell into a piston and melted
There were multiple airshows, they were not bad :)
biplane with propeller plus jet
honda jet demo, it was super quiet
And of course, they had races, that's what the whole event was about afterall :)
Great 2.5 days in Reno, thanks Arnaud. |
