Re: Reno Air Races and pilots

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the invitation. You're right, I'm an aviation nut and have attended the Reno Air Races many times. In fact, several of my clients and friends have competed in the races over the years.
I won't be going to the races this year because I have a number of hearings I have to attend. Also, we are doing a photo shoot about race time, with the Eureka for the promotional images for the 100th anniversary for Las Vegas. So, unfortunately, my time is pretty well taken up this year.
By the way, so we can claim we stayed on topic for the ng discussion board, as you know the technical name for the cowcatcher is the pilot. It is a known fact, I have caught more pilots than I have cows. One crew member on Eureka is the former commander of Nellis Air Force Base. How's that for a tenuous connection between railroading and flying. Um. Even I have to think about that.
