493!!! how on earth do you manage to fly round the course at that speed? (what I mean is and not go very wide)

Apparently a few pilots were *spoken to* after qualifying about flying too high. They were blasting around at 300ft AGL..:cool:

Ask any pilot who had a Me262 on his butt 🙂

HP111,
Deft use of the flying controls and an appreciation of ‘G’ will see you follow the right path…

Damn my eyes!

I enjoyed my trip to Reno in 98 and hope to visit again one day.
Hope everyone has a safe race.
BTW is Rare Bear still flying?

Um it’s in the first post!! Rare bear #2 on the list………………

Precious Metal looking good at 463mph, hopefully the Griffon and all that hardware bolted to the front of it will last the week.

That is a pity. They’d done so much to her. Wish I was there…best atmos and fun I have ever had at an aviation event
