Default R^3 2012

It's that time of year again and the crew will be putting on the annual R-cubed BBQ at the Reno Air Races. As in past years, it will be held on Saturday evening immediately following the last race of the day. Same location as in the past, Guccidude's hangar:



Please give us a heads up here on the forum if you think you might attend, so we can get supplies in approximately the right quantity.

Cheers,
Greg

My son & I from Atlanta & Florida will be there. Flying 6a to Truckee/Tahoe and staying at Silver Legacy. Monday before we will be staying at Moab to see Arches Natl Park & Milt's Diner!
Thanks for hosting an awsome event for RVers.

Check the notams, but I believe one of the runways at Truckee is out of service until after the air races event. Just a heads up. I will likely fly into TRK as well

The long runway is Notam'ed out. I believe it is 10-28.

The north-south (01/19) is open. Caution for glider tow, and glider ops.

So Greg,

I'm assuming that the Reno air races will actually happen?

Best,

Best,
Yes, Pierre, visit here

I went to one of the first R^3 events and wish I could go to this one. Spent my dollars and vacation time in Oshkosh this year.

So much fun, so little time.
