Reno Air Races, Nevada




The above picture was the USAF Heritage Flight with over 50years of planes flying together in formation. A F-16, and the Glacier Girl found in Greenland (recovered and restored) and a WWWII plane. It was very patriotic! Hank and I had a really enjoyable time going through the Pits checking out all the planes and new engines. That is just in case we decide to continue building his RV in the near future when we settle down.



Hank and I drove over to Reno-Stead Airport for the air races. Just as we drove up, the races began. We saw two planes race around the pylon, the plane underneath apparently touched wings and one plane went down and the pilot died. The other plane landed safely. So, the races stopped but they did have an air show. The picture above are the Canandian Snowbirds performing. They had 9 planes all together and put on a great performance.
