Amazing how British engineering is partially key to this competition, greetings from Italy.

Listen to it! I'd been to a bunch of airshows and heard the beautiful sound of a Merilin a few times before but when I went to Reno years ago and heard the sound of a Merlin being pushed hard it was a little frightening. I love seeing'hearing them at the airshows and i really hope we'll all be seeing/hearing them 50 years from now! Wow what music!

Beautiful landing under what looked like engine-out conditions. Great sideslip/crabbing to lose altitude and get to the right glideslope, and perfect crab kick at the end to get it down and level. Even coasted it off the runway and out of the way. Awesome piloting, far more so than what's required to win a race - getting a crippled racer down like that is a serious feat. Attaboy!

It’s not hard you get hammered with engine out landings when you’re learning to fly , you’ll never be able to solo unless you can do a tidy engine out landing and execute a decent side slip to lose altitude in a hurry it’s not difficult

@@spannaspinna Way too many pilots take these drills for granted and sudden loss of engine power when you're flying a racing plane is a bit of a different beast than when your C172 engine quits - deceleration forces are stronger and you're far lower altitude. That's a more difficult recovery to execute, and this pilot ran a clinic on dealing with a low-altitude engine-out situation.

If you can get altitude enough to glide, you have plenty of time to get lined up and take it in.

Most EXCELLENT, Jason! Thank you!

Over two decades ago, I went to my first air race. Never seen one since. Let me tell you, being 5, or so, years old seeing these war birds racing through the air left one hell of a lasting impression! The Mustang is my all time favorite ever since I first heard it fly fast and low during that first turn. Such an amazing sight and sound!

We live on the other side of the mountains from the Reno air races location. We drive over the hills in my Jeep and watch the show every year. I picked an area were the jets make their turnouts. They get pretty low in that spot. I've taken some really great photos over the years. Even got many pilots to wave back. Best one was we got buzzed by two F22's just skimming the tops of the little trees out there, the roar was so loud thought they'd crack the windows in my Jeep. Great video.

My mum was in London in the war. We were in a café last year near Sywell airdrome, Spitfires were practicing overhead. The sound brought back her nightmare memories of mothers running with their children for the bomb shelters. She was reduced to tears by it all. Terrible.

I flew dogfights in WWII . . . umm . . . on my computer, and watching her take those turns at low altitude had me all tensed up. Plus the problem of being aware of where all the other planes are so you don't collide. This is some serious flying. And I love the sound!

Damn I miss going to the air races! Head to head racing not only proves how quick you are but how good of a pilot you are. When the unlimiteds fly to the starting point you can feel the hum inside you. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a plane or racing buff. You'll love it. Oops, pit passes are a must if you're going to make the trip. ✌️♥️

What always blows my mind almost as much as the speed these planes are achieving with piston engines, is the speeds they are achieving at Reno Stead's altitude. It would also be interesting to get an actual reading of residual thrust from the exhaust.

Radial engines are dry sump. At low rpm the oil pump cannot keep the oil from building up in the engine.The last run up is to scavenge the oil from the sump. At least that is what it was for in the T-28 I flew in Navy flight school in the early '70s.

get in a week early and go to the airfield, it's pretty much open to anyone to walk in and check everything out as they get the planes ready. They close the place up to ticket holders a day or two before the races is all, so worth the trip out to just look planes over and talk to crew.

right on the centreline...

aweshome. that was scary 10:00 keeping enough lift to the wings with the motor rattling to land whew.

Amazing show of power and skill all rapped up in a short video. Question: I don't know anything about air racing engines, why do they power up after they come to a stop. Have my guesses but I'd like to hear it from someone who knows. My guess is that they're cleaning out any carbon and any engine contaminates from the idle in and to ensure oil pressure was up to fill the oil passages before shut down.

I would think that's what they're doing that for. I'm basing what I know on what they do for steam engines, which are radically different than these engines, but from what I know, if an engine is hard at work, regardless of what they run on, they'll do a relatively good job at keeping themselves clean.

SixStringLove Guy Actually they used to race on a larger course (9+ miles) but with all the encroachment of homes and businesses they had to slowly shorten the course. Plus with the crash in 2011 which took spectators lives, the FAA shortened it even more (thinking it would slow them down). But yes, it was awesome back in the day when they would drop down in the ‘valley of speed’ on the back side of the course with wings level and hall ass!!!

My favorite single engine planes are the Mustang but I live all if them. Questiin though, once the planes have taxi'd in they throttle up for a bit, is this done to clear the ports and plugs of unburned fuel?

One of the reasons they run the engines up is to help clear the plugs, taxiing for long periods and running the engine at low power settings fouls the plugs, so running the engine up helps clear them, this helps for when starting the next time.
