    Great outcome both planes and pilots landed safely after colliding balling for 3rd place in the Jet 2B heat.

    Fantastic. Glad it was a safe outcome for all. I've been to the Reno Air Races a few times, but not since they've been flying the L-39's. Pretty exciting I bet.

    I flew in the back seat of a CAF flight checking out Steve Hinton jr. Years ago, now a race winner.

    crazy. Friend of mine was the pilot of strega and won a few years back.....gave up tracking as it was too mundane after racing the p51s.

    3D is definitely more exciting than 2D.
