Here are some pics I took at the Reno Air Races on Friday...

What a blast, and you Canadians have one very fine jet flying team there! :thumb: :thumb:

Way to go Snowbirds!

The event is super cool, a must see :thumb::thumb:

We hesitated to go the first few years after we moved here (don't like crowds). We finally went last year and are now hooked. We'll go every year we can.

The F-18 Super Hornet demonstration flight was so amazing. When he made his fastest pass, the sonic boom was so loud, I spilled my drink on the guy next to me :eek::eek::eek:

I've been to a ton of military air shows and they are really great, but these are a good combination of military and racing of different classes. It is the national championship, so it brings the best of the best.
 
Cool pics Brent. I have yet to see the Snowbirds in action.:( Any chance your airforce showed of one of the new F35 Jets. I think its a bit early for it to be on the groud as a display but figure they might have flown one past you guys?
 
No F-35 on the day we were there, but the F18-E was pretty impressive.

I took 1050 pictures, was just happy to have a few turn out ok!
