Also on the ramp last year was this- V3420 Allison. Basically 2 Allison v1710 V12s cuopled to a Reduction gearbox through individual prop shafts. Wish I could hear that beast run

Here's a couple for the Bear fans here. The last photo is a Wright 3350that Anderson Aeromotive had on display at the races, they are the company that built the engines for FIFI, the CAF's B-29, currently the only flyable B-29in the world. Bob- You should come out to Stead next month for PRS, you can park your lawn chair and cooler right on the ramp and watch the flying. Russ

Had coffee with Bigen several months back, he suggested that some members here might be interested in things aviation related. Living in Reno is a big plus being a fan of the National Championship Air Races, which were started in 1964. Last year I helped crew in the International Formula 1 class, and have gotten to know many of the photographers and some of the pilots and crew from some of the other classes. Check out rara.org for more info on the air races, I will post more photos if people are interested. The gentleman I crewed for last year took me for my first ride in a light aircraft today over Lake Tahoe in a Lancair 235. What a thrill. Hope everyone enjoys the photos. Russ

And they'll all miss you when you're gone Russ

I translated it as "We no wok your Dog " Russ

Probably only a matter of time until they come out with a turn signal app for the I Phone Russ
