50th Annual Reno National Championship Air Races - InFlight USA | (Pete Shirk)The title of the event has been confused with a 50th Anniversary. The first national championship air races were held at Reno in 1964, so the 50th anniversary of that will be Sept. 2014, but Reno was anxious to celebrate something, and so celebrated the 50th race rather than the 50 anniversary. (Ask your spouse for clarification on anniversaries.) And celebrate we did, however, it did not come easily. A little background history will help....

Sikorsky S-58T — heavy lifting on a Sunday morning by travelforaircraft | ...The S-58T retains its original magnesium alloy fuselage as well as metal-over-wood tail rotor but it is the new engines that have remade this helicopter. Side-by-side twin Pratt & Whitney jet turbines have replaced the original single Wright radial reciprocating engine. These new engines sit low in the nose which has been redesigned to have an edged snout with twin, and distinctly characteristic, black rectangular engine air inlets. The exhaust is directed out of the left side, below and forward of the pilot. Yes, the pilot usually is on the left side of this helicopter — not the right side as in most U.S. made helicopters — since most aerial crane work is flown from the left side as the S-58T naturally tilts a bit to the left (greater visibility for the pilot and his aerial crane work)....
