Remarks: "Beach Ball" flown by Peter Kline taxiing out for a Qualifying lap. Peter would fly "Beach Ball" to a best lap time of 1:14.358 with a speed of 410.569mph. Above the tail John Penney is diving down for his lap in "Pip Squeak".
Remarks: Don't let the Surgeon General see this! Creating a nice cloud of tire smoke on touchdown after the long flight from Hong Kong International (VHHH / HKG).
Remarks: Surprisingly this may be the first shot of this former NW A320 in the Delta colors in the DB. Rocketing off of 34L with the somewhat snowy Virginia Range in the background.
Remarks: "Jump 42" sitting idle on the ramp after a storm cell passed through the area putting all air ops on hold. "Tanker 05" (N96278) is just passing by in the background to go start fighting fires again.
Remarks: HT-737 aka "Malcolm" just finishing "the dip" out of a small Beaver pond next to US395 while fighting the "Constantia" fire just to south of Doyle,CA. If accepted this will also be my 450th photo on the site!
Remarks: Skip Holm in "Double Red" taxiing out for a practice session at the 2007 Reno National Championship Air Races. Skip would fly the Lancair to a second place finish in the Sport Silver race on Sunday.
