does a flight in a Cessna 182 RG count?

@SindSagar

sorry I had to clarify somethings for KKF!

My trip on a Cessna 182 was with two other people, an Instrument flight instructor and a fellow pilot learning IFR.

our goal was to attend the Reno Air Races held at Stead Field Airport North of Reno Nevada! this was Sept 11th 2010, we spent three days and returned on the fourth day.
and were witness to one of the air crashes that happened on the 13th Sept.

September 13th, 2007: Brad Morehouse, 47, of Aston, Wyoming – Flying a Czech-built Aero Vodochody L-39C, registered as N139DK and nicknamed “Dino Juice,” at 2:45 in the afternoon during the Jet class race, he had rounded the last pylon, #8](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=8) , when according to witnesses, the airplane banked to the left as it rounded the pylon, behind and below another plane (a Rockwell T-2B “Buckeye”), and then rolled to the right and continued rolling, impacting the ground at a high speed along the north side of Runway 8/26. The NTSB determined the probable cause of this crash to be Morehouse’s encounter with wake turbulence while maneuvering over a race course, and contributing to the accident was the low altitude at which the encounter occurred.

we flew by Mt St Helen, it had a wisp of smoke coming out of it!
