A great video of the fun to be had supporting aviation events and the air racing out there at Reno was super cool, I managed to see only one day when we were out there with the RAF and had three days off to drive over and it was worth it.
Thanks! we have definitely made some great memories standing around out in the desert. having been to the event a few times now I agree that it is absolutely worth the time and travel.
Such a great episode Lars. I think this video really captures what it is really like to be a pylon judge at the National Championship Air Races. I am going to miss Reno and the September family so much. I am hopeful for Roswell and the family that will form there. Looking forward to seeing all of you that I have worked with and have had the opportunity to know over the years.
Well done!! It captures the Reno Race Vibe. Great production, awesome SOUND,. I really liked the people running the pylons with their wings extended. I can't believe what those young brave guys and gals were doing with those cool aircraft in the 1940's.and It was a really special event. to highlight those Aircraft in this day and age.
This was a rollercoaster ride. I’ve only been able to attend one race ever, and it was at New Century Air Center, in Olathe, KS. Strega won, and after everyone had left, even ESPN, my dad and I approached Tiger. He gave me his personal crew hat and signed it. I always wanted to go to Reno, but never made it. Will all the pylon crews get their same pylons at Roswell!?
That's pretty cool! Strega was always a blast to watch. Hopefully, someday, we will get to see it fly again. As for what will happen at roswell I have no idea. I know some of the pylon judges will not be returning, and we will probably get some new judges. So it'll probably change a bit. As it will be a whole new course.
I hate to see them go. I’ve been going ever since I got my Commercial Pilot’s License in 1987. I knew when they first started letting people build housing around that race area that soon they would be forced out. They were great and they inspired lots of young people to get into aviation .
It's a pretty special event. Scheduling for the roswell pylon judges hasn't begun yet, but my little gang is all planning to continue to volunteer as judges. So there is a very high probability that we will all get on the roster again.
@RickC-y1x there isn't an apartment building any where near close enough for that to happen... and even the few single family homes near the race course have never been in the flight path of the race courses. This sounds like the nightmare fantasy of someone with an ax to grind. And not actually based on any real understanding.
Loved your video, I will miss my Reno family.. 1988-2023 Home pylon
Great video. You captured the essence of a day in the life of a Pylon Judge!
Thanks you! Looking forward to getting back out on the sticks again next year
Great footage. The sound was super!

Thanks! Hopefully we will still get to see you somewhere sometime between now and next September.

Had the pleasure of attending these races three times over the years what a treat.
Great video. I work Media Ops keep the photogs in line. See you in Roswell.

You and me both!
Great Video

What are you using to make your videos? They are really good.

See you guys at Roswell 2025 ❤

29 years for me.
That's awesome! Hopefully the races will be going in another 20 years so I can reach that same milestone.
Cool video, but even cooler annual get together. Are you scheduled to be judges at Roswell?

Var där 95 0ch 08. Får se om det kan bli Roswell..
If you visit for racing in Roswell let us know!
@@low_lead , jajamän
Thank God it's over!
I suppose that's one way to feel about it, if you don't like fun.
@@low_lead eventually they would of killed a lot of innocent people.
@@RickC-y1xTell me you don’t understand statistics without telling me.
@@VictoryAviation it was just a matter of time before an aircraft went into an apartment complex killing multiple innocent people.
