PRS 2007 - Who's Going?

[AAFO_WSagar]

Just calculated that with fuel costs such as they are and with only myself going this year (BeerNazi decided she wanted to be a Real Estate Agent and has school... *snif* CF2... got a smilie for this one?) driving my big ol' Chevy 4X4 aint gonna cut it! Minimum fuel cost would be nearly $300. at best! GAAAA!

Total NS flight on Southwest with tax comes to $150. from PDX to RNO... other than the hassle of not being able to have the vehicle there, carrying everything I want to (including lawn chairs, case of water, etc, etc.. all the junk per usual.. EVEN with rental car expenses, I can shave, at least one day hotel off by flying so it's cheaper by, at least, $100.!

Amazing... they have finally priced gas to the point that I'm driving less...

Anyway.. Back to the point..

Who is going?

The Reno Air Race Association's Pylon Racing School is one of the finest learning experiences for warbird (or any) pilots and usually holds quite a bit of information and camaraderie for us fan types.

As always, it requires of all of us a bit of discipline, it's a school and we get to watch.. cool!

I'll be flying in on the 12th, leaving on the evening of the 16th..

Anyone else?

I'm hoping we'll be able to get it together to go -- if so we'll be there all weekend...

We try to figure out how to do it every year, but because we are farming, and it's right in the middle of hay season, it's tough to plan. It won't be this year since we decided to go to Chino this weekend.
Next year? Hope so!!

I couldn't resist the "massive gaggle of warbirds" and the 3 P-38's. I'll be the geeky Canadian foolishly recovering from shoulder surgery by getting jostled by several thousand people at an airshow

I'll be there whenever work allows, and on the weekend.

Bob - Im' not sure about the Fri-Sun thing. I think they pushed the dates back earlier in the week to free Sunday up for fathers day? I may be wrong, but you might want to check and adjust accordingly.

Are you putting stars and bars on the Pitts so it looks like a real plane?
