I don't know about you, but given how much we spend training pilots and buying planes, I want them to maintain their skills-and if we get a good show besides, so much the better.

Oh, I agree! I wasn't complaining! I heard on the local news apparently one of the jets had engine trouble yesterday and dropped two "bombs" right near the track here on it's way to the emergency landing. The LVMS Manager heard it and saw the smoke. Practice makes perfect! (I was THIS close to going to the Air Force Academy out of high school, I think those pilots are uber cool and what they do even cooler!!!!)

I didn't think you were complaining-and I can remember traveling in Nevada with my folks in their motor home in 1981-the Blue Angels came flying down the highway in formation-uber cool is the right term fr what they were doing. Good luck and have fun-are you guys going on to Phoenix and Pomona too? |

![]() I have no way to fax it, Joe. I will take your number to the tower with me and see if they will do it. From me, pictures of the sheets will have to do. They just called us for TT#4, more info to come! |

The one time I raced in Vegas,the "air show" seemed like the best part! Planes in the air I`d only seen on TV. Was kind of funny watching them going around the blimp that was filming the races!

Joe, I gave your number to the folks in the tower and they said they would do it no problem. Infact, the gentleman I gave it to was surprised you didn't ask him on his facebook page. ? Not sure who it was, I didn't have time to stay and ask, Alex was going up.
Barometer is dropping and wind is picking up. So we are slowing down. It's 1 pm and we have gotten lots of runs and still haven't even started the bracket race! Everyone has been so nice to talk with here too. What a great weekend!!!! I'm going to work on putting up some pics right now.... |

Add to the fact that they put their @sses on the line so we can sit at home and do what we love to do, let them train so when they are defending our country they are safe and return home to their families!!!

Beth,
Thanx for the pics and updates... hope you guys have a ball, and do some winning while you're there (at the track AND the casinos). Go get 'em!! (And you're right about our flyboys, too, I've met a ton of them at airshows - I'm also a formation airshow pilot - and these guys are unbelievable, and the nicest group of totally focused professionals you could imagine. You would love Nicole "FIFI" Malachowski, she was the first female USAF Thunderbird pilot, she is a real hoot)

Wow, Marvin - I didn't know that! You will have to tell me some stories the next time we are hanging out!!!
Elims day is here. We are entered in both the bracket race and the Combo. We each got another run this morning and haven't seen a final qualifying sheet, but I doubt there were many changes, if any. Only about 12 or 14 showed up for the Combo run this morning. Not sure if people were sleeping in or just went home. I see Abe's rig is gone. We will see shortly how many went home. Time to go race! |
