Hey, I've been outta the airplane loop for awhile. Does anyone know if they still run those prop-plane air races out in Nevada? You know the one the RARE BEAR kept winning years ago? I remember reading about it all the time as a kid in Air Classics...

Actually Red Bull sponsors an international air racing league. Cool as hell to watch.

Reno Air Races, held EVERY September. They're still going strong.

In fact, the Sport Class is making it big. May even overtake the Unlimiteds. (Take your Lancair and race it, much like a staged street race).


Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

Oh yes!

And here's what a race looks like from the spectator's point of view!!!

That's Mike Mangold's run in the UAE. And if you cut a gate (which you'll see in both vids), it'll add ten seconds to your final time. Don't worry, the gate is made of a material (propietary of Red Bull) that shreds easily.

CRAZY STUFF!!!!

Stuart, FL is similar. Along with the south end of Palm Beach International (the General Aviation side). Fun stuff!

The businessman from China is asking for a refund because he can't ship the Russian fighter jet to China. Here is the Yahoo News Story.
