The Witch Won!!!


Yes! My plane won the Reno Air Races (unlimited class), #7 Strega! I have been a follower of this P-51 mustang since I first started going to the races with my Dad years ago.
So why do I love this plane? First off...her number is 7 and so is mine. Second...she's a mustang and I love me some mustangs (I have two!). Third... her name is Italian for witch...well...I'm half Italian and I have been known to be a witch or a variation on the word.
We are a very split family when it come's to these races. My Dad is a die hard Rare Bear fan (had a mayday during the race and landed safely) and Diva loves The Spirit of Texas, because it has a star (of course I can't blame her, I love me some Texas!).
It was a fun weekend...minus my horrible cold and inability to breath!
