Tom Weiss perished in a mid-air collision October 12, 2014. He was an enthusiastic and beloved contributor here for close to 10 years, and he will be missed greatly.

Getting close now! Dave's hanger is as usual a great place to meet and hang out between the all of the ongoings.

I am only going to be there on Wed and Thurs this year...:( Wife has me in Leavenworth WA for a wedding that weekend. Not happy about this in the slightest bit. Rob reach out to Dave. You know the deal.

We can certainly help out with the barbecue a little bit more aggressively this year. We brought not quite enough salad last year. That will be corrected with way too much maybe. In any case, I'm available to help out.

Unfortunately Jughead will not be in town for the races with the PATRIOTS Jet Team this year. Night sims for 737 currency, YEAH! AKT, you will be in my neighborhood of Snohomish on the way to Leavenworth. Give me a call and a cold beer or possibly some flying could be arranged.

There is a good chance I will be traveling through Reno on Wednesday mid day with 3 or 4 hours to kill. I have never been to the races before. I might show up for a quick stop in.

Just spent the last 3 hours fixing an engine breather problem on Precious Metal here at KDVT, he'll be on the way to Reno in the morning. :D

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Re: 2014 Reno Air Races Air Races !!

We'll be there again.

Question: How do we get food to share at Dave's hangar into the event?

Re: 2014 Reno Air Races Air Races !!

Just getting the dust cleared out of my mind from a couple weeks on the Black Rock Desert- Burning Man, an interesting year it was..

Looking forward to Air Race Week, the event pretty much has the Stead ramp taken over already.

I will be available to shuttle coolers and supplies into the hangar for sure on Saturday & Sunday. Will try to get an additional Ramp Vehicle Pass to Kevin or Rob for the weekday shuttles.....if we can keep Rob safe to drive.... ;-)

For those that are unfamiliar, the hangar is inside the Pit area, hangar row lined up with the Breitling tent, second hangar in on the left. Green and White Super Cub in a tan colored T hangar.

Not the Cub in the hangar in this picture, but this is the hangar.

Look forward to seeing you all....

If you have any questions, feel free to call..... 775- five four four -4051
