For the 2017 Reno National Championship Air Races, Joel Swager took the reigns of the mighty 4000 hp, 4360 cubic inch, 28 cylinder beast known as Dreadnought. This plane has been racing at Reno since the 1980's and is a previous Gold champion, in this short video we see the Sanders team take her up for an early week evening test flight to check the systems out at power, and then a few days later the team goes out and lays down the 3rd fasted qualifying speed.
