Remarks: Taxiing back to parking with the number one and four engines feathered. Supporting the USAF Thunderbirds at the 2008 Reno National Championship Air Races.
Remarks: Taxiing back to the ramp as the Thunder Mustang "Rapid Travel" starts to vacate the runway as well after a qualifying session at the 2008 Reno National Championship Air Races.
Remarks: John Penney in "Rare Bear", one of the locals favorites and a bird with a lot of history. The hangar for instance at Stead Field is named aptly "The Bear Cave". Unfortunately during Sundays gold race the engine decided it didn't want to live anymore forcing John to put his amazing skills to use with an emergency landing. Seen here landing on runway 8 after a run around the pylons at the 2008 Reno National Championship Air Races.
Remarks: Kevin Eldridge in "Relentless NXT", one of the best looking and most unique airplanes ever to take the skies taxiing to runway 26 at the 2008 Reno National Championship Air Races.
