Default great time

It was great to meet some of the folks that I've come to know on VAF. Definitely one of the hightlights of Reno. Thanks for hosting, see you next year.

Not a bad view from the BBQ either. Winds were favoring 26 so these beauties were literally taxiing within 50ft of Greg's hangar after landing. Are you kidding me??????????????

From the Reno Gazette Journal, shots of the landing accident of the Thunder Mustang.

I am amazed at the fact the pilot walked away with only minor injuries.

Default Thanks, guys!

What wonderful evening! The only bummer was that Bob didn't make it. Hope to make R*3, v.4 next year.

We had a good time also, although we didn't get the chance to talk to too many people. We left the gtg at about 7 and were home by 1:30, with one stop to change a diaper
