We had the privilege of speaking in front of the entire Oshkosh crowd, and taking our message of spreading General Aviation. Scott couldn't make it, but the rest of the Air Tour crew got up on the podium and talked about the tour and all of the benefits.

We talk to Thomas Lockwood of OneMoment racing about his involvement in air racing, and the future of the sport.

Chuck Wentworth was one of the fastest Reno racers around. In 1981, he had a catastrophic failure that caused the engine to fall off his plane, which produced one of the most harrowing photos we've ever seen. Chuck has flown many other aircraft, and has even restored several aircraft that are now in the Smithsonian. We were extremely lucky to interview Chuck.
