Remarks: Jetphotos contributor Ralph Duenas doing preflight checks on his trusty bird that was not so....eh...trusty on this morning. A stuck manifold pressure gauge kept us from going up on a nice, cool morning. [Canon 300D, 100-400L IS]
Remarks: I took a close up of the wing because I wanted to show the modifications that were done on the wing for the Reno air races. The wings have been shortened, Ike stats that the shortened wings help him gain airspeed while he is in the downhill turn.
Remarks: This beautiful P-51 mustang aka "The Miracle Maker" belongs to pilot Ike"Red" Enns. He just returned from taking a short test flight. The Mustang is being prepared for the Reno air races.
