Does anybody know the history of the blue Nevada pylon pins? I know that they used to be made by the Jaycees. I've got every one since my first Reno-1991. I've seen one that had 2 planes on it, but didn't catch what year it was from. I was just curious about when they started, and what other ones were made.

Re: Reno Pylon pins
Mine go back to 78 and they are all single plane.
They change the planes color every year and the planes design every 4 (or 5? I dont have them with me...)Comment

Re: Reno Pylon pins
The ones with two airplanes were from the 20th anniversary. There may have been other occasions they did that too, however.

Re: Reno Pylon pins
The pin for 2000 was bigger than normal and had 2-0-0-0 written out vertically on the pylon whereas other years just had the 2 digit year on the bottom of the pylon.Comment

Re: Reno Pylon pins
The pylon pins date back to 1977 (not date on that one).
1996 was the year that the Jaycees logo disappeared from the pin, unless you pre-ordered them. Then you have a rarity on your hands if yours has the logo.
Hope this helps.

Re: Reno Pylon pins
The pylon pins were first produced in 1977.
The '77 pin DID NOT have a year on it.
The Jaycees logo appeared on the pins until 1995.
If you were lucky enough to pre-order your pins for '96 they came thru with the logo, however, the ones sold at the show since then have not had the JC logo.
Hope this helps.
