A long time ago...

There’s a paint job rarely seen anymore. Thanks for posting that one.

I miss Thom and both of his broken racers. Talk about a bad luck operation...

The good news is that Thom and Precious Metal will be back, with a Griffon. I spoke with one of the crew at Oshkosh, and from what he said, PM will be back better than ever.

Thom must have really had the power pushed up to have that much prop blur at 1/1250. ( I was thinking 1/350 at most till I looked.) That is a really cool shot with the vapor out the oil cooler duct. I love the reflections in it. Awesome shot.

I love how the sound builds at this point.

Hearing them race past the home pylon. It's a sound unique to Reno and has made many a fan.

Deep thought - who's eating all the Doritos and leaving only the Fritos?

The actual reason of the white 'sponsorship' area was to delete the previous registration.

No, just some lucky kid getting a pony ride.

My information on the 'City of Bellingham'/'My Wife' sponsorship on the side of the plane came from C.E. Crosby himself while sitting around one afternoon at Floathaven on Lake Whatcom. So while the white may have been to cover the registration, the lettering ON the white is spot on.

Nicely done, sir! Hard to say which I like best. New position as Deputy Air Boss will keep me on the airport side of things now, instead of Home Pylon from 0730-1800 every day. Looking forward to it so perhaps we'll cross paths at some point. Safe travels....

I saw that on the RARA announcement. Nicely done. We'll find each other.
