      Is the guy in the back of that Sikorsky S38 pulling the anchor in?

        LOL! Perhaps...after all they were known as "Deckhands!"

          Delmar and Steve Wolf both said the plane was built exact to original as possible, lacking the actual plans. New England Air Museum allowed them to document their build of the R1 by measurements/photos/etc., but could not allow the two access to plans per agreement with the Granville family.
          Delmar was emphatic he wanted an authentic Sportster.

            Good catch there, I just noticed the guy in back.

            Deckhands - great reply.

                      One of my favorite thing about the Reno Air Races is hanging out in the pits and taking in all the action.

                      Priceless memories, especially if your hobby is photography.
