Air Racing - Vegas Style

[AAFO_WSagar]

Coming to you from Nellis this "evening" that is now morning here on the west coast of the US... Have a 7:30 briefing in the morning so need to bail quick but just had to share a few images from this afternoon's arrivals.. Unfortunately, we got here too late to get everyone arriving but it's quite a scene here!

Here's Voodoo with the Vegas skylight behind this evening at Nellis.

I had John in the viewfinder waiting for him to turn toward me when I saw the T-Birds doing a practice pass.. or were they welcoming Mr. Penney and the Rare Bear!

Great stuff from Vegas

Wayne,

Great shots buddy. It would have been nice to see Strega and Precious there too I am sure. Looks already that you have a "great" response from the Reno racers there. We look forward to seeing a lot more.....so stay off the computer untill you get more stuff to go thru.... and enjoy your weekend!!!

Thanks for the photos!

Wayne,
Thank you for the wonderful photos posted so far. The only thing better would have have been twilight reflections on Precious Metal sitting there also. Keep the pictures coming!
