2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

So this will be the 2nd and hopefully annual BCP gathering at the Reno Air Races. We have a great set up there thanks to NVflyer and hope to see all you that can make it! Its less than a month away now.

Who is coming?

If you fly in we can burn a lap or two in the desert for a "pre" High Sierra Fly-in tour or on one of our circuits here pre or post races.

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

It's going to be a good year at the races!

Voodo is back with a new pilot...6 time champion Steve Hinton Jr., is out of Strega and flying Voodo. He took his entire crew him. New engine is going in and claims to smoke Strega are already surfacing.

Who is coming? This is hands down one of the best aviation events if the year!

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

Planning on it. Probably fly in to KTRK, stay with fam and borrow or rent a car. Fri and Sat. At the races

Hoping to fly a faster plane than the Bearhawk though!

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

Count me in. I'm embarrassed to say I've not been before.

I fly out of Placerville, so I suppose I may as well drive so I don't have the expense of renting a car. Or do they have efficient shuttles from Reno or Carson city?

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

Trooperdad and jugheadf15 we will see you there!

Made my room rez today. Went from $950 for 5 nights to $589 by switching hotels on Friday and again Sunday. Kind of a pain but for $350 it is worth it.

Cheers Rob

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

Count me in again Rob. Thursday worked last year but any night is fine.
Not to put NV flyer on the spot but which night if any is your gathering.?
Your hangar as a meeting up place for BCP is great. Hope it doesn't get overwhelming there but we would love to see as many BCP at the Races as possible. How about the Elko chapter? Compare Basque restaurants.

Jughead, I imagine that the Patriots schedule quickly filled to capacity shortly after the Blues and Thunderbirds cancelled all their shows?

Re: 2013 Reno Air Races - BCP Gathering

My 2 sons and Rose are going too. This might get expensive! Oh well, it is a really good time and I'm thrilled they all want to go!

The last time we were there was 2010.

Ill be there all week, I volunteered to be part of the security team. Its my first time volunteering so not sure what Ill be doing. My Dad took me to the very first Reno Air Races when I was 16 years old. They were out on a dirt strip north of town.
