I have returned, heres a quick on taken from the pits to tide you over. I will sift through the shots, pick the "best of the show" and get them up as soon as I can.

Short version:
Beautiful weather - great show - outstanding scene - big crowds.

(UPDATE) It seems my new masters at Pajamas Media have given me a task of some urgency. I've got some more work to do before I can get the pictures loaded, so well try again for this evening. I promise, its worth the wait...

Aero L-39s, no?

Correct. These are the primary aircraft in the "Jet Class" racing. On the red one closest to the camera, the wing pod that is visible contains a video camera to broadcast the race from the aircraft.

Assuming the pic of the Sea Furies is correct in perspective and that Reno races are run with the left wingtip down, I wonder why they put the camera on the high side? I know I'd rather see life from the down wingtip.
