Drove over to the pits this morning to look around, clear skies and darn near perfect. I counted 19 warbirds in the pits.

Heres some shots.

Does Miss A have a semi trailer? I thought Doc use to have a fifth wheel. This is going to be an interesting year.

I’m liking the mystery of all of this. I’m there Sat and Sun.

Quite a lot of action out today, a short clip from the unlimiteds training, the Kingcobra sounded healthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxAV...ature=youtu.be
Also the Yak flew in the evening, seemed to be all right. One Moment created plenty of white smoke during taxiing close to the pits and needed to stop the engine, hopefully nothing serious.

Best regards,
Florian

Thanks Florian, the Kingcobra was humming! She sounds great!

The Full Noise team posted a video on Facebook of the Yak starting for its first Reno 2018 engine run and she sounds wonderful. The Bear is her next-door neighbour!
