Comments on: Plane Pr0N, Vapes…and such http://steeljawscribe.com/2007/09/18/plane-pr0n-vapesand-such Notes and commentary on things present, reflections on a career in naval aviation and serendipitous items as strike me at the moment...

I was at the same show @ Q BTW and it was impressive watching the 22 and the 15 flying tight (relatively) with the Mustang. That Raptor was sweet - kinda makes one wish for a high in the Hi-Lo for the Navy, eh? Though nice to see the Superbug screaming fast & low though it did soil the underthings of some attendees... re #4 Kris in NE, linky for the video by chance?

No Raptor or F-4, but the Viper West and A-10 West demo teams were there for the Heritage Flyby with the P38, Glacier Girl, and an A-1 Skyraider. Beautiful! NAVAIR participation was an F/A-18C on the ramp, and a formation flyby of an F/A-18C and F-16 from Fallon's Adversary Squadron. A Restored T-2 Buckeye won the Jet Gold Race, and Mike Brown's F-7F Tigercat "Big Bossman" painted in Marine colors is always a crowd favorite! There was also a FM-2 Wildcat "Air Biscuit" in the Bronze as well. If anyone's sitting on the fence about going to Reno, think about falling on the side to see the races-My 1st year and I'm hooked!
