I'll be at the pylons ready to shoot some pics. I'm really looking forward to seeing this bird in action. I really like Allison powered Yaks.

Is the former Will Whiteside Yak, "Steadfast" still coming to the races also?

I have no idea what the Steadfast team are planning, sorry. That is a very cool plane though and the team who brought it to Omaka this year are a great fun bunch.

I heard they were going to try a couple years ago, but apparently ran into import restrictions or something. It would be great to see Steadfast back at Reno. I think it would make for an epic battle for the Silver between Steadfast, Dusty, and possibly Full Noise along with the Sanders Sea Furies. With that line up, it would make qualifying relevant in the Silver.
