Do you remember the time.....

Re: Do you remember the time.....

I was out on the pylons when that picture was taken- and I guarantee it is not a fake. Chuck Hall flew nearly the same line in "Tipsy Too".
Have any shots of that Neal???

I downloaded the Tipsy Two shot from 1983 by Chuck Aro, as posted a couple of years ago on Pylon1. Mark should have it and he's every bit as low as Lefty.

Re: Do you remember the time.....LOW Flying

Brad, I am the worlds greatest fighter pilot in my high performance
1969 Grumman Yankee- Easy for Victor take pictures of me as I blast by
at .2 mach!

I think the course Chuck Hall flew in #28 "Tipsy Too" was one of the best I recall seeing at Reno, right up there with Dick Laidley in "Conquest", and Lefty in the P-38.

I guess Reno cracking down on low flying has really eliminated some of the spectacularly low flying we saw years ago- good call IMHO.

Papa Goss used an interesting strategy when he started racing "Warlock", he would head right for the pylon- and put the wing down when he got there- figured if he didn't hit it, he didn't cut it!!!
I am sure there are some pictures out there of him pretty low and tight to the poles.....

Like Rick Brickert told me- "you can only tie the world record for low flying". All the best, RG (OBR)

Re: Do you remember the time.....

Great shots Neal! Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite planes, always thought it looked good.
I have some shots of it on the ramp after a rain where it just glows.
