Thanks, Peashooter -

I LOVE the Mosquito clip. The Merlins sound awesome, of course.

Not very cool video - but ... interesting...

Citation lands at wrong airport and goes into the bay....
Watch the video to the end to see him trying to make a speed boat out of a Citation. Un-friggin-believable.

Sometimes, the audio doesn't make it. 'Course, the trade media says it's service interruption from the glut of Steve Irwin traffic.

Umm, that's an awesome vid but I don't believe the pilot restarted that engine. The accident report stated the right side throttle was found "bent" in the idle position. I believe the FADEC restarted that engine on its own. The report also mentioned the pilot was the only one injured in the accident, which further supports my belief that he got out with the others. In my opinion, he obviously neglected to shut down the master on his way out. Pretty awesome vid to watch though.

Yup... And as a result, there are now more stringent company-specific saltwater-proof requirement on critical J-boxes mounted outside the pressure vessel.

What does that accomplish?

Hi all,

Here's some footage from last year while we wait for qual numbers to come in...

Three of them were posted here last year, but lost when the server crash happened... I edited the Friday clip that nite at the hotel, but it proved to be MUCH too big to upload anywhere, until now. YouTube to the rescue!

Fri Unl Bronze: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKHkUZv7xv8

The first part of Friday's vid has really fast exposure speed, so Big Bossman takes off with stationary props... funny.

Sure wish I'd gotten that Sunday Silver race, that was a doozy when Fred Cabanas dipped Conch Fury below the horizon out in the valley....

We're on our way to the airport now, see you in Reno!
