Remarks: "Air Transport 752 Heavy" departing RNO for Bradley International (KBDL), but would end up diverting to Wilmington Air Park (KILN).

Remarks: Tanker 810 in loading pit 2 awaiting waiting to be loaded with a fresh load of retardant while fighting a couple of lighting caused wildfires in the area while one of the storms passes by to the east. The large propellor in the background is a tribute to Tanker 09 which crashed just northwest of the airport on September 1, 2008.
Remarks: Aggressor Viper sitting on the NSAWC ramp at awaiting its next sortie. A "Convoy" (C-40) flight can be seen climbing out in the background. A HUGE thanks to Zip Upham, one of the best PAOs out there for taking our group pretty much everywhere possible and setting us up for the best photos!
Remarks: Skywest 6251 (SKW6251) departing RNO via 16R for a 42min flight to San Francisco Intl (KSFO).
Many thanks to Mike Evans for the GREAT access that day!

Remarks: Skywest 6403 (SKW6403) just starting to flare over 34L as the conga line works on taxiway "Bravo" after a small snowfall. I believe one of my friends and fellow HSS Founder, Mike Evans, is in "Broom 3" which you can just see the rear of.
