I have shot a lot of "air shows, but this was my 1st time at the Reno Air races

The back story.
Two of BIL & myself got tickets. One of them has taken up photography & wanted to get the "killer" shots out on the course. I told him you have to have a press pass for that access.
He inquired & they said to submit your proposal for promoting the event. I didn't think they would accept it .
I expected this from my experience. Well they accepted his request!
I couldn't let that stand. I did likewise, with my references & event images & got in too.

Very cool Dan! What a fun day I bet!

I would so enjoy seeing the Mustang in the air flying, well and all of the old planes. #2, 4 and 7 are my favorites.

Great pictures. My good friend was working out by a pylon when two of the jets made contact. Pretty crazy video.
