Great time all!

Dan you threw quite the party - sorry did not get to say hi but since we share the same airport I'm sure I'll get a chance to, soon enough. I just stopped by quickly to pop in and wow, you guys put up a very nice spread!

Mike N. great chatting with you briefly as well as the rest of the UK contingency! On your way to SFO if you get a chance and have the inclination you should pass by Lake Tahoe just to see it; totally different look than the high desert landscape near Stead. If you drive south past Reno on 395 out of town and take "Mt. Rose Highway" route 431 to Incline Village and then take route 28 to Tahoe City then north on 89 back up to Truckee to join 80 to San Francisco if you have an extra hour or so and would like a tour of the mountains and Lake Tahoe to the west of Reno. A few good places to eat along the way if it agrees. I'd take you guys for a boat trip but I just pulled "Season Pass" out a few days ago so for the rest of the season it's just limited outings and then to bed the boat goes for the winter.

Dayton, as always thanks for the chat!

TruTrackAndrew, great meeting you I wish I could have stayed longer to chat more.

Thanks to all who came, it ended at 8:30, the rain, lightning, and thunder did not seem to bother anyone. Thanks all for coming, see you next year. Dan

...sorry I didn't meet you, your wife said you were still running around somewhere, but she took good care of my wife & me!
....also talked to, or just eavesdropped on some of the local pilot propwash, all very entertaining!
Thanks for putting this on, it was a great end to a great couple of days!

Default Reno BBQ photos

I finally got around to downloading my photos from the R3 BBQ.

We had just gotten going when the rains came, great lightning show too.







Sport race pilot, and pace plane pilot, Nasty Bob.



Our host.







Sport Bronze winning pilot, Slick Tim.



Factory representative???



So, you are the only kid trapped in a hangar filled with old folks talking airplanes while waiting for the rain to stop-----how do you entertain yourself???

Cake icing fingerprinting of course ........

Default Dedicated race fan??

O.K., not at the BBQ, but this guy was in the stands at Reno.

Section 3 is rumored to contain a few strange characters



Anybody want to guess what anniversary of the air races it was??
