Oldies but true Goodies! from Reno Air Races blogs
The Tiger Cat is not a common plane. This carrier based plane though was just fun to watch and hear fly as it passed directly in front of you just, vibrating the ground with their power. The pilot had it on the deck so when it came around the pylon and down your lens barrel, it was just a sight to behold. The T33 was the pace plane for the Unlimited silver race. While it didn’t race in the Jet division, it was great fun to see it in the air and circle. It has an awesome paint job! For a…

Where do you point the lens? from Reno Air Races blogs
As I write this, I’m rubbing my left arm and my neck is cracking, leftover from shooting for four days to bring back 6737 photographs from the races. Here is myself, our son Brent and Nikon’s Mark Kettenhofen are shooting the F22 flight on Saturday. The 200-400VR, 70-300VR and 500VR are the lenses of choice at the races. This cool shot was taken by the keen eye of Sharon, looking for graphics amongst the shooters. The Reno Air Races are more than just planes flying really fast in a …

Nikon at the Reno Air Races from Reno Air Races blogs

The very first day they were out on the shooting platform checking out the location. The majority of the time though they were in the Nikon Center either loaning out gear, helping with tech support or with the repair center. Photographers could bring in their gear and at no charge have their gear cleaned which …

For those who come to experience the air races for the first time, they are forever changed. This truly is the fastest and most dangerous motor sport in the world…” World-famous photographer Gerhard Schmid knows that words are not up to the task, so he lets his photos and their descriptive captions do the story-telling.

And the day they were performing was today. But we did go all together as a family, we didn't purchase anything, and we didn't go crazy and run all over the place. But I did take a lot of pictures!

Is this the end for a flying Vulcan?
With a heavy heart, I have to say that the future is not looking bright for XH558, the only flyign Vulcan in the world. After a hard first year of flying, small teething problems and cancelled airshows, the coffers are running low and some sponsors are no longer able to supply funds. Where does this leave our iconic aircraft? Well unfortunately, it leaves her mothballed in the hanger. This is not a future we had all intended for our glorious Delta Winged Lady.
