On
the Lighter Side A
certain lady pilot is looking
quite good in more ways than one
but the FAA may want to have a
little talk with her about her
piloting technique. Kraz turned

took it with his new
"magic" telephoto
lens...

Terrorist
Attacks Halt Reno Qualifying The
terrorist attacks on the pentagon
and World Trade Center have
brought a grounding of all
aircraft in the United States,
including those located here at
Stead. We will bring you word on
what this means to the balance of
the week of racing as soon as it
is known here. At this moment,
news is very hard to come by, the
internet is choked with traffic
to the various news agencies...
We here at Stead know very little
other than the FAA grounding has
all airplanes shut down and
racing activity stopped. [click
