I might stop and visit some friends in Las Vegas on my trip to AZ. and am thinking of landing at Boulder City, NV. I see Bill aka 182 STOL driver is based there. I was wondering if there is any thing I should know if I plan on a stop there. I know that runways 15, 27R, nd 9R are all right hand patterns. If you can tell me anything else that would help I would appreciate it. Skybobb.

I suggest you don't use the short "glider" runway, you cannot get off and go to the ramp. Use the longer runway parallel to the ramp (East-West I believe).

HOWS MEMPHIS Bar B Q ? Bill Berle's birthday is the 27th Dec. same day as Bret Hart -master I.A. , I use the short runway all the time --It's open on east end near the fuel pumps -check 118.475 awos for info Come on down --- Coffee and bergers close -or we could go over to ranch for some of Bruce's coffee and Chili .

They're gonna have to medevac my fat ass out of here with a Skycrane, because I don't think the turbine S-58 has the capacity. There's a trail of BBQ rib bones from the end of Beale St. to the Miss. river!

Not sure if I will stop on my way down. My wife has to have a procedure and my timing is getting all jammed up. I may bring the wife and visit friends later on when we are down there.

Or I'll have to pick him up with the rig. I'll need some "Oversize Load" signs.

I think I will be at the Super Speedway in Vegas around the 15-17th Can't wait!! That's the best track in the U.S.!! (right under flight paths for Nellis AFB )

Well yeah when I was 15, but that was in another life that has nothing to do with airplanes.

We did get to drive by his great big tacky house today, and see a 707 parked across the street, and have a chance to buy extremely high-value Elvis merchandise at disturbing prices.

You been around planes how long??? It's a Convair 880

One of the books in the Elvis memorabilia store across the street had a photo caption that said 707, and we didn't get close enough to notice. My bad... you got me. Should have paid attention to the windshield shape. I'm ashamed
