Emblem on Rusty Wallace’s winglet
More jets! No, nothing "different" about these – other then who they may belong to. Today was the first race of the Chase in the Nextel Cup racing series at New Hampshire International Speedway (Clint Bowyer won the Sylvania 300).
Now, I’m not a huge racing fan, but I’ll stop the clicker and watch from time to time, especially when the race is at any of the super speedways due to the higher speeds. However, since NHIS has two Cup races, TMEW (and I!) gets two treats a year by going down to the Laconia Airport (actually located in Gilford, NH) and watch the jets take off (of which there are quite a number). While many go to see if they can spot a driver, we just like to watch the planes. Thus, here are a couple here (shots of Rusty Wallace’s, Kevin Harvick, and Denny Hamlin) with more after the jump along with a number of helicopter "ferry" trips
Denny Hamlin’s tail marking
Denny’s jet (sorry for the folks in front of it – they just stood there for about a 1/2 hour).
Rusty Wallace’s plane
Kevin Harvick’s jet
Kevin Harvick’s jet – again
Kevin Harvick’s jet – what, you don’t like three shots?
Denny Hamlin’s Jet ID number
Denny Hamlin in the Copilot seat (and no, he never lifted his head up)
Denny starting to taxi out
The rest of the shots are of the helicopters ferrying folks from NHIS to the Laconia Airport
