More Bear In The Air Photos From Reno

[AAFO_WSagar]

We're still on the road but just can't resist sending up a few more photos to the board...

This one is special, it's a shot of the OSI SOFT team who were at Stead working on the telemetry system installed on Rare Bear...

All went well and I have to tell you, I'm not only completely impressed with the Rare Bear team, their sponsors are top notch!

There to test their telemetry software, these guys and gals not only worked on the system, they wiped and cleaned the airplane between flights!

Impressive, indeed and more about them and their product soon.

nice day for flying!

the weather coperated, only bumpy on the "downlight" leg of the turns we were making for the flight.

mission complete

out down and away, John Penney "swoops" towards us as he prepares to swing in behind and down as we break for landing and pick-up of the Reno channel 8 reporter who was next up for his quick video mission. (this aired last night on channel 8 and was well done!)

Looking Great!

Can't wait for September...Go Bear!

BTW: Next time you're out with the Rare Bear team, can you ask what happened to the cockpit pictures for Fan Sponsors taken at last year's races? Just curious.

I'll be donating again this year but I had to pay my taxes today. :-( As soon as I get it together, I'll be sending them a CC # for 2003 Gold Status.

WooHoo! Go Bear!
