One of the fiercest competitors ever to bring an airplane around the pylons at Reno, "Tiger," as he is known to his fans and friends, did not have a good year at Reno this time.

Earlier this year Tiger announced that the 2000 edition of the Reno National Championship Air Races would be his last race.. After engine problems kept him from racing, Tiger smiled and said: "I'll be back" in the closing segment of the pilot episode of "World of Wings."

Tiger served as technical consultant for the upcoming pilot episode of this aviation based documentary series..
