    I landed my plane there once after a low pass at 200 mph. Does that count?

       Running cool at 150 MPH!
    When it's hot on the "flats" do what Rollie Free did in 1948.

    He has a helmet on. I wonder if it's for aerodynamics?

    The helmet prevents static in the hair...just like riding to town in the back of the pickup as a kid.

    You can say that again Chaplin.

    Four of my gang are there RAT NOW.  I elected to stay home and break Messtang parts.  BVille definitely should be on every gearhead's Bucket-List along with the Air Races at Reno.  I did that in 09 and if warbirds and radial engines turn your crank that's the place to get fixed up.

    Wife and I stopped by one time and drove the 72 out a ways. That dang salt cakes on to everything and I worry about our road salt back home.

    Bonneville is an experience not to be missed. Most of the pits will let you take a good look at their vehicles and are friendly. On the salt flats, I would take a rental car as the salt can cake and bake onto the car in long sections over 6 inches thick. There is a car wash in Wendover that gets a lot of use. Also stop by the Wendover Airfield-this is where they practiced loading for the Enola Gay and other wartime activities.
