Saturday, September 19, 2009 – Morning Photos & Heat Results

Good Morning Race Fans!

By 6:45 am this morning forty or more photographers

were on the ramp taking photos of the Unlimited Class warming up their engines, static F-15’s, F/A-18 Hornets and the static Heritage planes and jets. This morning was a photographers dream with the

sunrise sifting through the unexpected clouds and the bright pink alpenglow on the gentle desert hills in the background.

If you’re at home, wish you were here!
