Jet Man (and others) at Reno

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

Jet Man got bit by density altitude at Reno and couldn't get his fires lit.  He wound up riding his parachute down, and probably raging.  I had not realized he had been a Mirage pilot before this.

 

A Canadian Air Force jet tried push a support truck and a fire truck down the taxiway (really?) but nobody was hurt.

 

Otherwise there are some great pics....  Love that Yak landing.  That F-16 is from the Naval and Strike Air Warfare Center, where I used to work.
