SkyfireVideo Presents
Exclusive video of the Reno National Championship Air Races
CONTINUING COLLECTOR’S SERIES

You'll see a colorful balloon display together with a few rough landings. Watch an incredible F-18 jet demonstration by the U.S. Navy. See a dramatic parachute drop that ends with jumpers bouncing comically off the ground in a high wind.

Bill Warren and the Daring Damsels put on the world's only duo-wing walking act with two lovely ladies.


Bob Hoover demonstrates his flying skill with:

• The Mustang
• The Shrike Commander
• The Saberliner
• The North American T-28.

Lefty Gardner puts on a wonderful show in a P-38 Lockheed Lightning.

The world famous Air Force Thunderbirds power through their routines with fire blazing all the way from their afterburners.

Two top-secret spyplanes make surprise appearances, but the big story is the racing. You'll ride in the Unlimited Gold Race in the lead airplane that abruptly pulls up and out of the race with a critical mayday on a blown engine!

An Exciting Program The Whole family Will Enjoy!
