Reno Air Races

We took the boys to their first Reno Air Race this past weekend. It was so much fun!!
Watching some Aerobatics!

There are a lot of great WWII planes that fly in the races. The boys had so much fun picking their favorite colors and cheering them on.

The Canadian Snowbirds Performed in honor of their 40th Anniversary. They had one of the best shows I have seen.

There were a lot of Military aircraft to go in and see. The boys are in a helicopter playing around in the seats.

There was also a C-17.

We got to see the Rare Bear in its hanger and that is her owner (Mr. Lyle) walking past. In the world of air racing that is as good as seeing Brad Pitt walk by. The Bear has won 8 times at the Reno Air Races. She was my favorite growing up.

Here are the Unlimited planes lining up for the final race of the day. They reach top speeds of 500 mph.

Here are the boys playing with their new toy planes during the 30 minute weather delay. There were 40 knot winds blowing straight across the runway.

Note, there is no picture of the big race. They winds did not die down so the big, final, national championship race was canceled.


But, it seems like the boys had a ton of fun anyway. They were asleep before we got out of the parking lot.
