Just heard them fly over.

That time of year again, second floor home office, hear airplane, run down 15 flights of stairs, turn left, accelerate through kitchen, hit the brakes (socks on linolium) rotate left as I slide to a stop, open mud room door and jump out.

I'd be in trouble if there was ever a sticky spot on the linoleum during my slide and rotate maneuver :-)

I must do that 50 times during race week.

At 62 I still got the excited young man attitude when it comes to air racers.

REC - Best comment I've seen on here in a long time.

Thank you for putting it into perspective - I think we all do this in Sept (relatively speaking).

Cheers to you and see everyone next week!

My wife and friends learned years ago to keep door and window paths clear a week before, during and a week after!

My (and others) version of this is checking this forum every 25 minutes. See you next week!

Yes, I would be one of those others!

I am the same way when the T-34s come here (my home airport) to practice before Airventure.

Re: Early stead report

Good to know I'm not the only one who runs out the door at the sound of approaching aircraft.

POF's 2 mustangs just left Chino without numbers on them (putting them on at Stead), I doubt the one that just arrived is racing but hey... What's the paint scheme?

NACA Mustang, not actually an H model. It was just escorting the Yak and will leave before the races start.
