Gentlemen, You have a race...

[c170pete]

looks like Reno's on. Permits and insurance are secured. airrace.org

[NVflyer]

Even though I can only fit one wing-stock in at a time .....I have a pretty nice little tin box home on the field at KRTS..... Reno-Tahoe-Stead, home of the Reno Air Races. It's inside the race pit area....so access to all the action. If any of you are planning on being around for the event, you're welcome to stop in or hang-out at my shack. There's pretty much always food and drink......if you're lucky, might be girls!!??









See you all through-out the summer, and hope to cross paths at the Reno Races.....

NVflyer...Dave

[29singlespeed]

I am heading out for this.

[JLB]

I'm right behind you!

[chance]

I'll be there.
If Jimmy missed me by 50' in 2011, odds are I will be safer there than anywhere!
For sure I will visit at NVFlyers in the pit.
Pre 2011 there was an annual informal gathering of flyers on Thursday PM at the Santa Fe Basque Restaurant in Reno. Maybe we can start a BCP tradition.
There are several options for transportation to and from Reno. If there is interest, there maybe private strips nearby as well.

Hey Dave!
Looking like I will be out there. Probably flying in. Is this an invite for BCP'ers? Whats it like to get access to the hangers to 'hang' out?

Looking forward to it.

I hope to make it down this September. I come by and say hi.

Cheers...Rob

Hoping to make it to Reno this year as well with a couple of friends in my local area. Crap maybe the Reno air race committee can break up the races into 2 or 3 weekends so we don't have too many people at the fly-in. Plus, that's a lot of P-51's bagging Stead in one week.

Bwahahaha...that's rich Tom, LMFAO!

I might try to catch this one, since who knows if I'll ever be this close to it again...plus, it would be hard to pass up drinking some Red Bull

I'm in for sure! Got my room at the Atlantis Casino, tickets to the Chairmans tent, Pit Pass. I'll be flying the Maule down Wednesday. If the wx really sucks I'll ground pound it. 4 hr to fly vs 10+ drive Pray for good wx. ha ha

We should try to make a time to meet at Daves hangar to socialize. What do you think Dave?

Tom W. You coming??
JLB you flying the Maule ?
I'm parking at Carson
Gump, you ever come out to the show?

I have been there back in 07 good place. Was owned by a friend of John Morealli [JMGT] who left BCP for personal reasons. I wonder if the same fella owns it?

I'm up for what ever as long as drinking, eating, BSing or flying is involved.

We're headed to Lake Tahoe this weekend. Maybe we'll rent a car and stop by Never been there and would love to hear and see the races. There's nothing like the sound of a P-51!!

Tahoe is there every weekend. Reno is only once a year.

Scott: come with me to the race. Your plane or mine. I got a room with 2 queen beds at the Atlantis Casino. I got a car too. There may not be to many more years of this event.

Not this year. We're flying down to San Antonio that week.

[scottnt]

Ooops, I meant to say we'll be there the 14-16. Perfect timing!

[scottnt]

Camping at Chuckar Flat this weekend, wind permitting.

[aktahoe1]

Have been going to the races every year for the past 15 or so. I would not miss it if your in the hood...

Nvflyers (Purplehaze is his other name) hanger is great! We also have a hanger on the west end of the ramp (far end of the pits) that we BBQ and have frosty treats in. All are welcome!

For those flying, Truckee is a great spot to park your plane. Same distance as any of the outlying airports. It may even be easier and quicker to drive to Reno from Truckee. If anyone wants to do some flying around that time, my plane will be up and running and the circuits need some serious tire tracks laid down.

Would be fun to have a BCP crew at the races. The pits are where its at. Get a pit pass and hang out there all day.
