WOW, stunning! I did not know this P-51 existed, thanks for the great shots! Where is it home based?

Dan

Thanks. I didn't know anything about it either before seeing it in Reno. It apparently crashed in 1955 and was mostly forgotten. The restored plane didn't fly until this past June. It's now owned by the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot, North Dakota.

A bit of STOL Drag from Reno. I think it was the most fun event to watch at the Air Races.

You're welcome, and I'm glad you found it interesting. Here are some shots near the finish of a race, although that's not really a "finish" line. They have to cross it before touching down, but the winner is the one coming to a complete stop first.

The final Reno Air Races came to an unexpectedly sad end on Sunday when Chris Rushing and Nick Macy had a fatal collision following the T-6 Gold Race. Chris had won the race in Barron's Revenge and Nick finished second in Six-Cat. The five remaining scheduled races were canceled.
