Hello Van's AF! As I migrate towards the base turn of my Air Force career, I find myself looking toward post Service hobbies. One of these includes air racing and air shows. I was curious if anyone in this forum could give me a vector towards information about racing a RV-8?

Thank you for your time!

...and if you're looking at Pylon racing, give RVMILLS a rattle here on the forums.

If you'd like to learn more about racing at Reno, check out http://www.sportclass.com. There is an ever-increasing number (and awesomeness!) of RVs in the Sport class.

Click to expand...

Any time, on racing, formation, airshows, you name it. Though for the latter 2 (or anything RV), you live within chip shot or line drive of Kahuna, Smokey, Widget and the rest of Team Aerodynamix…the true experts...best of the best in terms of RV fun!

Give a holler any time, and as Mike said, welcome aboard!

Cheers,
Bob
