Reno Air Races - Sept 12-16, 2018

I'll be in Reno visiting the inlaws in early to mid Sept. Was thinking I'd head out to the Air Races on Thursday or Friday since I haven't been since 2005.

If anyone else is going to be around, and would like to hang out, or fight me because of something I said on the Internet, let's meet up! If it's the latter, maybe pretend to let me win because I'll have my kids with me.

I'll be around, and happy to pony up some belated BCP donations in the form of IPA's.

Wife and I will likely be there and would love to meet up with you! I don’t have any bones to pick but am happy to fake something up and give you the win to impress the kids if you like?

Method Seven will have their Airstream, it has a beer cog, and they offer free beer.
What about meeting there at 2:00 PM on Friday?

It was a pleasure to meet motoadve as well. Cost me a lot of money though. I love the new sunglasses!

Great meeting you guys, loved the air races, liked it more than any airshow I have been to.

Someone introduced me to Al who has won the races many times , we talked at lenght about warbirds and he invited me to sit in a P51, my favorite plane ever. :) very nice guy and a great experience.
