Idaho air race family jumps to jets
Jets now the fastest class at Reno
RENO, Nev. — Longtime Reno Air Races family Brian and Sherawn Reberry of Boise jumped to the Jet Class this year when they sold their unique Reberry 3M1C1R gull-wing Formula One race plane to Thom Richard of Kissimmee, Fla., and bought a Polish-built jet trainer, the PZL TS-11 “Iskra.” Purchased only a month before the races, Brian Reberry did not have time to learn to fly it and certainly had not qualified to race by flying in the Pylon Racing Seminar (PRS) earlier in the summer. Now almost two months after the air races, Brian Reberry has become comfortable with the TS-11 and its flight capabilities.
