I love this! Fast, faster, and fastest! I don't smoke, but after the Blue Angels fly, I think I need one. :-laf

A few pictures from the static displays. There are a bunch of beautifully restored planes.

Any P-51s? Possibly my favorite aircraft of all time. Jack Roush had one years ago I saw when I was a kid and I fell in love with it. One of these years I'll get out there for the air races. For now I have to settle for watching the Fox Sports half-hour broadcasts.

There are still a few P-51's in the Unlimited Class, though they are modified and can turn laps close to 500mph. Strega, the plane that won the Unlimited, is a P-51. The pilot is 22 years old!

I would like to go also, I have a couple of friends that fly out there every year.

I'm only 25. Some of us young'uns still appreciate old equipment. Old planes, old tractors, old trucks, old cars, old music. I guess I'm one of those "old soul" guys.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I'm 22.

Air races

The air races are a kick in the pants Ive gone most every 3rd week in sept for as long as I can remember. It was really fun to take my dad as he worked on allot of them when they were brand new. It was good to see the smile on his face. And the 2 legged show is really great also I may be old but im not dead
