    I guess if something called a steadi-cam exists, so must its diametric opposite.

    I, for one, enjoy the Planeopnik. Thanks, TAI.


    Diddles, where are your Planeopnik posts? Come on, my friend. Post something like a comparo of the F-22 vs. F-23!

    Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
    Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

    yeah I agree first plane could be a 172 by the looks of it, there is definitely a yak-52 in there i think, I don't think I saw a yak-7 in there, yak-7 usually had a v-12 engine, that was definitely a radial engined plane in the video, therefore most likely a yak-52, widely used for aerobatics.

    @Christopher Brown: You're right, that was a Yak-52.


    That 3rd plane isn't. The vertical stabilizer is too vertical and the rudder isn't rounded like the Yaks.

    The skydiver jumped from a Cessna 172 (or 152, hard to tell from the angle). The flyby at the beginning looked like a Yak-7, maybe? I'm not sure what the 3rd plane is.


    On the ground there is a mix of Cessnas, Lears and a bunch of other stuff that I don't have time to look up right now.

    @Ash78: Ash, do you get a bit of vertigo?


    I got over that after flying in to the airport in my parents home town. Ron White's joke about the "Trail Airport, Hair Care and Tire Center" would be appropriate, except that the airport is literally a 10' x 12' shack with a counter and a shelf they unload your luggage onto. Entire working population of the airport: 1. One person.


    In order to fly into this airport, they drop down to about 1000 feet, and fly the last 15 minutes of the flight through the mountains. Apparently trying to approach into an airport in a low valley of the Rocky Mountains in a tiny plane is impossible from above because of all the thermals that get kicked up. Trying to dive through those makes for an unpleasant flight. So instead, they weave through the valley itself.


    The plane's about the same size on the inside as a 15-passenger van, maybe a touch bigger, so some of the passengers felt pretty claustrophobic. Then, to be weaving and ducking between all these mountains. Yeah, there were a few people who were clutching their paper bags, just in case.


    Strangely, though, that flight cured both my claustrophobia and my vertigo.

    The pass is great...that RSR totally got used. I think Montagny actually hung back for a little while in shock.

    I couldn't watch the Sebring race, so I recorded it on the Tivo. I almost called into work today so I could stay home and watch it. Now I'm thinking I might come down with something at lunch.


    *cough* *cough* Yup, there it is.

    That was so cool. McNish's pass was insanly ballsy. Audi is going to have a huge fight with the Pug at Le Mans. Epic. Best thing since the Porsche/Ferrari battles of the 70's.

    Saw bits and pieces. I agree that this is perhaps the most interesting tech race, so Pug vs. Audi will definitely be interesting to watch. Almost makes me want to buy an old 505 and start modding it. Then, the scotch wears off, and I realize that what I am thinking about doing is total insanity, and could be grounds for involuntary commitment at the county mental health facility.

    @DoctorNine: I suppose Murilee could and should start a rehab for people who impusively go out and buy cars they know would end up on the pages of PCH soon and decides to spend their children's inheritance and education on a LS9 to stuff into whatever they just found.

    @Mobius_1: The wife has this 'look' she gives me when I come up with an idea which should not be pursued. She can freeze hot coffee to ice with that look. I rely on her to keep me from dangerous exercise of my enthusiasm for such things.

    French vs. German? I can't view the video at work, but based on history I have a pretty good idea of how that battle turns out.

    Anyone know why the Family Stuck & Pastorelli GT3 911 RSR was withdrawn? Lack of GT3 competition?


    Some great racing yesterday: Peugeot v. Audi, Flying Liz v. the "I hate drivers" Milner's "You break it, I break you" Panoz...


    ...And that LMP1 Acura is going to be tough on tight tracks. Looking forward to Lime Rock!
