Default R3--Reno Air Races Hangar Party, Saturday 14Sep

Guys: At last count I show 45 confirmed attendees and 1 maybe. Looks like it is going to be a good time. Remember, I can't get to my hangar until the last race aircraft lands (jets) and it will take a few minutes to get up and running, but the beer and soft drrinks should be cold and as many chairs as I can get set up. Ya'll are all welcome mozy down at your pleasure. Dan

Dan,
Looks like I have two more relatives joining us so the Dye-Hose party will be 8.

Paul and I are now in the area so please call, email, or PM when you would like help.

Nice offer by Louis above, and there are several local RVers that are good resources, if anyone needs a maintenance assist.

Looks like I'll probably be parked in the RARA hangar over by the Formula airplanes this year, along with 3 Glassairs. With 30 Sport Class entries this year, we needed to move a few airplanes around in the hangars. Jason Rovey (RV-8) and Stan Sutterfield (RV-8A) will be in the Sport Class hangar across from the RARA hangar. Hope you'll come buy and visit us all. If you need a maintenance assist come find us. Mike can get in touch with me too, and if we're not dashing to a briefing or getting ready to race, we're happy to help out our RV buds...or just hangar fly and tell tall tales (is that redundant? )

Looking forward to seeing everyone during the races and at the BBQ!

Cheers,
Bob

Oh the images and emotions you stir Bob - I will always be thankful for the experience last year. I have no problem visualizing the two hangars and number 49 and 391 in their places of honor. Good luck out there!

Before that experience I would never have considered a pit pass - now I would not go there without one.

Default take note of the EAA presence at Reno

I just got a note that perhaps should be shared; it asks that you RSVP to EAA if you want to visit the 'hospitality tent'. You are supposed to also show a current membership card to enter ( if only I could find mine! maybe just a number will do?...a member since 1965!)

try this link if you didn't get the notice, and are a member ( or want free....water???)

https://secure.eaa.org/development/reno.html

can't wait! :-)

I'll be working the membership tent outside the hospitality tent all week and I look forward to seeing you all! I think the reason EAA is asking for RSVP this year is because it was so popular last year that we ran out of snacks and drinks almost every day...I worked the week last year too, and it was busy.

Default Reno

Looks like I can make it to Reno this year. I am a little bit late in the planning. It would just be me for the Big Hanger Party.

I do have an extra bed if someone needs a place to stay for Friday and Saturday night in Reno. Nothing fancy just a bed. If anyone has an extra seat coming back to Mesa, AZ I could split the fuel cost or what ever I can help with to get back to Mesa, or some place close to there. Leave me a Private message or call 480- two-one-five-9 one 4 three.

Thanks
Gib
