    Reno

    If you don't know what I'm talking about from just that one word, you just wouldn't understand.









    Rest are here with many more to come as I get time,

    Beautiful photos Tim. You've got some really great ones on your website.

    Couple of questions...
    Are you going to be putting more on your website?
    Any idea why Jeff Lo was flying his Pitts instead of the custom composite biplane he flew last year?

    Very nice.
    I understood immediately.
    And it wasn't married in Vegas, divorced in Reno

    I'm used to panning with subjects on the ground, not in the air.
    So I didn't get that many keepers of the planes at Goodwood.

    The custom was there, it was flown by Chris Ferguson. As I get time I will put more and more up.

    Wow, I know Cris. He's a friend of mine. I didn't realize he was going to get to race it. Jeff almost put it in the ground last year after getting caught in some wake turbulence. Cris showed me some video and still footage showing how much the engine mount flexed...it was a lot!

    I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shots. The ones you post are always gorgeous.

    Re: Reno

    Oh man! I wanted to be there so badly this year!! Couldn't get away from work though. I'm also on the flight team here, and that kept me from going down to San Diego last weekend. And I had to miss the Monument Valley races last May because the flight team was out in Ohio for NIFA nationals. AH! When will I get to see some air races?!

    Hey there...I was wondering if you made it this year! Those are wonderful pictures!!! What pylon were you at??? I worked my fanny off this year and only caught a few races and demo's. I did make it out for the final gold race though. It definatley was a good and bad year.

    I was at a bunch of pylons. They would move us based on what was racing.

    Outstanding images. I'm not an airplane type guy, but more photos like this could sure turn me into one.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I might be just a tiny bit jealous of that. Way to go, fantastic shots for sure.

    Re: Reno

    Looks like you were busy Tim - some very impressive shots !
    I luv all that shiny metal in the first pic - you can almost hear those engines.
    Some very interesting vintage warbirds too.
    Gotta check out the rest when you get them finished.
    Thanks for bringing Reno to us ! :thumbsup:
