Here's a couple of pictures from Friday.

Great to see Dago Red!

Rare Bear had a little incident with getting the landing gear down, but everything ended well. The gear finally came down.

Both Dreadnought and Argonaught are both done for the weekend. =(

I think I need to make it out there next year for the races. Looks like a good time. And Reno is such a nice town :roll:

Is your camera having a focusing issue? Only one shot appears to be in focus.

Pretty sure I heard Dreadnought was making metal and Argonaut was venting oil in a big way for some reason.

Thanks for sharing all those & don't sweat the image quality. They are great to view. My son & I spent yesterday there and enjoyed ourselves like everyone else did, I'm sure.

Please note I wasn't indicating he should worry over the quality of the photos, only that some of them were very clear and others not so. Since this didn't break down to be only the flying shots, but also some of the static shots, there might be a problem with the camera.
