Re: 2022 National Championship Air Races Photos
Just a few random ones as I process them. New camera so learning a new tool. The last one is the P-63 climbing out towards the T-storms.
The weather was kinda sucky. The only time it wasn't smoky it was raining.

"Hear hear, my Shanty Irish folder seems to be growing by the hour! (I'd like to make a 1/48 model so am gathering references)"
"Seeing where the gun camera is mounted on P-51As I have a question for Dusty: have you thought about putting a GoPro (or similar) camera in there for a race? It would make for amazing footage"

Wasn't that airplane originally named the A-36 Apache? I think the name Mustang came later from the British after they installed the RR Merlin in it.

We spoke with them in the pits today. It's not just an original P51A, but it is the oldest flying P51 in existence. It is Allison powered. The Allison is a down-draft carb, so the intake is on top of the cowl. Merlins are an updraft carb, with the intake on the bottom of the cowl.
It's been fully restored and is simply a beautiful airplane. It has raced at Reno before the restoration. At that time, it was known as Polar Bear.
