RENO 2010!

FLYBOYJ · Apr 9, 2010

Well I'm on for Reno this year. There will be some changes and surprises I'll announce in the next few months. June is the Pylon Training School, the place where rookie pilots go to get race qualified. Mike will attend as an instructor and of course we'll ring out the plane a bit. If anyone is planning to attend the races in September, let me know and I might be able to steer towards some interesting stuff!

I know of them, a few of the team were there when I was registering last year. We're supposed to be on the west side of the field this year

i have a very vague memory of watching reno air races on tv in the 70's when i was a kid and seem to remember a bright orange mustang with a contra rotating prop that crashed.
did this really happen or is it a childhood fantasy merged with reality in my slowly ageing mind

anybody have any idea ?
a quick internet search came up blank but the computer at work wont let me see a lot of websites

If I remember correctly, he was heard to say "I'm in deep sh*t' just before he bellied in. I also seem to remember him being presented with the twisted throttle quadrant from the 'Baron on his release from hospital.

funny how things can spark a memory, thanks for the info FLYBOYJ
