Nice photos, thanks for sharing.

I can't imagine how long of flight that must have been to get the Sikorsky all the way to Reno from the twin cities.

It is my understanding that the Sikosky splits its time between the twin cities(Anoka) and Las Vegas.

Hey Brad,

Sorry I missed you at Reno, I left for Reno before I got your PM and had to head off on the Saturday evening. Hope you had a good time.

Some nice pics there, I love the one of Dago. A shame it broke before I arrived so I didn't get the chance to see it in the air. A shame to see the Bear looking a bit forlorn as well. :( On well, there's always next year! :D

"Tempus Fugit” This is supposedly the Mustang Travolta bought, anyone know if it is true or not?

I saw yall once over at the Hilton when I was leaving the Pylon bar for the bathroom. When I came back over to say hi, yall were already gone. I also saw yall from the motorhome at the Red Knight pit but by the time I got outside yall were gone. I tried to track yall down but yall got lost in the sea of people. Like you say, there's always next year!

Dan,

The owners brought down Section Eight. Nancy emailed me and said that John was supposed to have done the test flights on Risky Business and then possibly bring it to Reno but the engine didn't get finished in time. I'm probably gonna go out and see them in January or February.
