Reno Air Race 2008 AT-6 Gold

AT-6 Gold race on Sunday Sept 14 2008 at the Reno/Stead Airport. Ken Dwelle took first place in this race and set a new Course and Lap record speed in Tinker Toy at 244.523MPH, 6MPH over the previous Record speed. Tinker Toy started in forth place and by the completion of the first lap it was in first place. You can see Ken passing on the outside and taking the lead position in front of the Grand Stands on the first lap. These planes are limited to being "stock" configured aircraft and these races of the AT-6 planes are won by the expertise and finesse of the pilots flying them. I have had the privilege to have flown in this plane, it was quite an experience!!
