Ahhh, thank you for that[emoji3061], now I need to see it again to determine exactly what model it was. I corrected my original post to reflect one or the other since I have a 50/50 chance, lol. Unfortunately it was moving so fast I wasn’t prepared for the pic. When I heard the sound of the twin radials bouncing off of the hangars, I honestly thought it was the Grumman. I did give it an honest try to get the shot but it was gone and down range. I would have been an epic shot if I had a quality digital, especially since the sun was glinting off the wings as it was departing the area, just a little silver sliver. I was told it was flying through the region all day yesterday, so maybe it was giving rides.[emoji848]
Oh yeah, now that I know what hangar the Waco sleeps in, just call me “Johnny Stalker” operation sneaky pic is under way. It did park in a hangar that is owned by a lady that flys everything under the sun. She is a fairly new fixture here at the airport and with the RENO Air-Races approaching, I am sure I will see both more. She owns the all women’s jet team and runs a L-39 during RENO.
