I was particularly interested in the Jet category, since I know several of the pilots.

 

“The Devil’s Own,” the 96th Bomb Squadron “Red Devils” CO’s B-52H (60-059), makes a low “gear down” pass on Thursday.

 

00-221 (00221), F-16C performs several flybys on Friday

 

Nathan Harnagel rounds the turn in his L-39C, “Reality Czech”, N139UK.

 

N139PJ, “Race 37” is Alexandre Eckmann’s L-39. The bottom photo was taken on the morning of the 14^th, just before he made contact with Harnagel’s plane

 

Nathan Harnagel and Alexandre Eckmann came very close to trading paint is this photo. Half a lap later, they did. While both planes were damaged, both pilots managed to land safely.

 

“Sluggo”, N50DG, is an L-29 flown by Joe Gano.

 

The Jet Gold Class winner was Mike Steiger in L-39 “American Spirit”, N139BJ

 

“Dash Force One” was probably the most easily identifiable L-39C on the field. N139LS was flown by Scott Farnsworth.

 

Arguably the most colorful L-39C at Reno was “Robin 1”, N139RM, flown by Jeff Turney
