I was there in 86 with my Dad, Unlimiteds sounded so good on the course. It was the coldest Sunday in the desert you could imagine. This was Tsunamis first year. Sad that Rick Brickert didn't have a longer career. On my office wall I have a large framed print of Dreadnought with Rick and all the Sanders signatures signed that weekend. Thanks for the post!

Thanks you for the comment :)
That print is something to be proud of!

RIP Rick B, by all accounts of people I know and have met, he was an awesome guy.

[@Metrallaroja]

They all are heroes of aviation, RIP

[@joshuaadamus7305]

I would have loved it for Stiletto to win

[@Metrallaroja]

Same!

[@thewaltbrownellchannel9318]

I love this but, be careful! I got a strike on my channel for uploading a SkyFire video

[@Metrallaroja]

Only uploaded it because it was a lost video in instagram that needed for more people to see it. I dont monetize it or anything.

"Trade air speed for altitude"...my flight instructor used to say altitude is a better friend than air speed. From the newest private pilot to these guys, there's a bond.

2 seconds away from DEATH if engine fails.
I would still love a go though ❤
