As if i need anymore examples of Nadya outshooting me at alliance, this was her crossing shot. Unfortunately it didnt expose well and my pathetic post processing skills arent making it any better. But the timing is impeccable!

Stunning shots the past few pages. Anyone going to Nellis this year? I am making my first trip out. I only had one airshow in New England this year at the end of June and I can't wait to get to Nellis. They scratched the F22 demo ( sent it to the Dubai airshow) and UAV demos for the show, but Nellis will put up one of their own F22's. A spitfire was added to the demo list as well. Another first for me.

Thats a very unique shot of the blues. Great eye man. Is the diamond flying with their speed brakes raised?

Glenn, I'm not seeing your images... is it a problem on my end or yours?

Tim, what's "spray bar water"?

Not sure Rodolfo - they are showing up for me when I view the thread.

your second question, I think the Reno airplanes have water systems that spray a mist of water directly on radiators to assist in cooling the engine, or in boosted applications to reduce intake air temps (intercooling effect) depending on the power plant.

Ahh..grasshopper. Click on this link here, actually it is a water/alcohol mix,
http://www.enginehistory.org/Convention/2005/Presentations/LawPete/Cooling.pdf

A presentation from the man himself Pete Law, and absolute legend in air racing. Without the additional cooling, and Unlimiteds engine will suffer catastrophic failure in a matter of seconds. It is the systems that have led to most of the engine failures over the years, not something acutally breaking in the motor. Strega seems to have a very robust system, it's amazing. In this picture from the left is Pete Law, Tiger-Strega's owner, and Bob Button-Voodoo's owner.

You have to look real close, but in this pic you can see the spraybar water coming out of both of Dreadnoughts wings. A normal Sea Fury only will have it in one wing, but with a 28 cylinder R-4360, it needs additional cooling.

Tim - you're right - there is nothing like the sound of those Merlins screaming their way around the pylons! NASCAR doesn't even compare!

I have not had a chance to watch it yet, but here is a link to a Pete Law interview from this year at Reno. I can only hope he writes a book someday.

You guys got me fired up with those Blue Angel picks. Guess I'm getting older as these guys look younger and younger to me every year.

Rusty - that's why they don't wear g-suits - they can't make them small enough.

Hi Tim:

What a cool website. I just spent a few hours on it. The videos of starting the restored engines are awesome. Makes my paltry 400ci Pontiac seem like a joke.

It's a shame that it looks like Jim is going to miss the thread hitting 15 kiloposts...just 17 away now.

Somebody get a great Mustang shot ready!
