I'm pretty sure they have 3 planes racing at once, which boggles my mind.

I hope they rejuvenate air racing worldwide! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Jay, I'll grant you that it's an aeronautical competition and it's exciting as hell...but is it really "racing?" I don't think Reno (the traditional 'round the pylons...) would be anywhere near as exciting if you only had one plane at a time racing the clock instead of multiple planes going wingtip to wingtip.

Pilots run one at a time against the clock." Jay B |

OK. I wasn't sure from the camera angles adn the little animation running
alongside the clips. I would think side by side in that environment would be suicide. mike regish "Jay Beckman" wrote in message news:Khqtd.137826$SW3.14133@fed1read01...
