          Some wingnut who happens to have a thing for SR-71s and shooting aviation photography appears at 6:36.

              Mostly road rashed actually. I think this was on Thursday where I was showing the guy the pics I shot of Sawbones during the thunderstorm the night before. It was only two weeks after I slid 20 yards down the pavement when I dumped my bicycle at 40 mph.

                  In 1993 I was doing 50 on dirt with no suspension wearing about the same amount of protection. I break 60 on a regular basis. This was a freak crash, first time I'd gone down in 17 years. I leaned into a corner and the front end just vanished from beneath me. I slid a good 20+ yards down the road removing only the upper layer of skin. It looked far worse than it really was.

                    Finally, after 6 months of editing pics, my Reno 2017 album is done. Have a look.
                    I came up early on Wednesday to shoot from the Fenceline on the western edge of the course for the final day of qualifying. The day wore on and an afternoon thunderstorm rolled in offering some spectacular shots from the ramp that evening. Thursday started clear, but clouds formed overhead as the day went along offering a nice backdrop other than clear blue sky. Friday morning was amazing. The clouds from the non storm the night before hadn't cleared out, and made for a perfect backdrop to shoot a few jets on the ramp that morning. I was lucky enough to be drawn to shoot form Pylon 4 Friday afternoon. Its amazing to shoot from there, but hands down the hardest place to shoot from since you can't track the planes approaching since you are kinda down in a ravine. Friday evening saw some amazing sunset shots from the ramp. Saturday I shot from the pylons in the morning, and then headed up the hill to my usual spot. That evening I was able to arrange a photo shoot with Dusty Dowd's freshly restored P51A Mustang "Shanty Irish" All the photographers at Reno had been trying to set this up and had been shot down every time. I managed to make it happen. Sunday offered lots of good racing and the end of an era. The final Unlimited race for Bob Button's P-51 Voodoo. All in all, a great 4 days of shooting. Sorry my pics are kinda out of order, I was shooting on two cameras and when it came to putting everything together, it was a mess.

                        Finally passed my instrument check ride last week! So nice to have it done so I can now just relax a little bit and enjoy some cross country flights for commercial.
