Reno Air Races 2009

Being near the area we just couldn’t miss a chance to see the Reno Air Races, so here is take two. (If you remember we saw the races in 2008, if you missed it check it out in Dec. 2008). Now being a bit bigger I enjoyed everything a bit more. Just outside the airport, this huge hot air balloon was giving short tethered rides. We didn’t take a ride, but it was sure fun to watch all that fire. We checked out the static exhibits (all the planes staying on the ground). Mom’s favorite was the 1950s aero car. Dad liked this old car. (I know cars at an air show, but they were pretty cool). On the subject of cars, the US Airforce showed off their rocket car.

Flames and a cool looking car, wow!

We even got to see the Blue Angeles do a practice run, which got cute short due to a technical problem. My first time seeing the Blue Angeles was still pretty cool.

We even ran into a friend from Texas, Hi Eddie!

The races were awesome as always. We really liked the Jet class races, because they are big and loud. It was definitely a day full of fun. If you missed the races this year you’ll have to wait until 2010, but it should be well worth it. For more info, check out:http://www.airrace.org/indexJS.php .

Hey I think I got bigger!
