It was really neat to see the Texas Flying Legends attend Reno this year. I hope they make it back next year.

Beautiful picture, Geremy – regardless of the order! I was with the Airport Authority for some years, mainly with Stead matters. These historical and military displays, in-air and on-ground, were, not surprisingly, always popular attractions. (PS – Your photo would make a great poster.)
Sorry, but listed “bottom to top” the Corsair comes after the TBM. Both Pappy & George H.W. Bush are ashamed of you. 🙂
