Thanks for having us! We can't wait to do it again!

Just say when! We need to do the south circuit. 3000' lower and completely different.

Great pictures guys, thanks for posting them.

Way to get the most out of that 170 Rob.

Rob nice work with a stock 170. I think you are ready for delta international. I might have to join you guys next time.

That would be a lot of fun to have another 170 for us! Next time you're down this way let me know so you can show me this strip on the delta.

Robs 170 was definitely performing! He had is lady onboard and was easily getting up and out around 800' if not better. Figuring it was 75-80 at 6000' in the grass. The little 145 held its own for certain!!
Buzz, we need you up here as well. I am down to come your way this week sometime. Maybe Wednesday. LA bound tomorrow for 24 hours...
I can hardly wait to fly into John Wayne with the 29's. Wish I could just land on the beach down there. Afraid that would end up making the 5pm news however.

Hey, any of you nor CA/NV guys up for getting in a day of flying Labor Day weekend some time? Its the first weekend I have free in I don't know how long, and need get some AIR-xercise. Would love to try out some of Kevins golf courses. Will bring both video cams (Drift and ContourHD) and my Nikon D7000 so we can get as much video as we have the patience for. I can be in Truckee by as early at 6:30 or so.

Holla!

Lets make it happen! Just say when (sounds like the first of Sept is good for you?) Lets just set a date and do it. We have a number of spots we can camp, including my hanger if you wish. Also, we still have a very cold keg of beer that needs some attention. Maybe we can get a crew to make this happen. We need to hit all 4 of our courses. Should we say Friday or Saturday? EMS- Just make the date that works for you and its on!

Sunday the 4th would probably work best, but could do Saturday the 3rd or Monday the 5th.

Can you do all 4 circuits in a day? What do you think total flight time is? Any refueling options along the way, or do I need to haul extra gas? I cruise at 100mph, but can probably make 110 if I push it to keep up.

Would love to try out some of those 9K+ spots!

We have plenty of refueling options. Truckee is home base. North has Nervino/Beckworth, NE has Stead, South has Carson, Spanish Springs, Minden, Bridgeport, etc. Would be hard to hit the 4 circuits in a day. We could do them in 2 days for certain. Just really depends on the heat and winds. Flying is generally done by noonish. We need to do the south circuit as it has a number of high ones! North has some high ones but again the high boys are getting done early AM. A couple of them are really good camping options. We should put it out there for Sunday/Monday as a fly in if folks are so inclined.

Already looking forward to it!

Stacey and I should be able to make it.

That's 3 planes....who else...??

Lowrider and Dlhanst will be there along with two others we fly with around here for certain. That makes 7 so far...

I'm in if you guys don't mind me tagging along at 80mph. Your all WAY faster than me. I love flying in a group but it gets old after a while when your with a group and still end up flying alone all day way in the back of the pack, especially over hostile/unfamiliar terrain. Kevin can I get with you offline for some coords of a few of these spots?

I might make it. Delta international is freshly mowed if you guys want some other options



Had an unofficial 170 fly in at rio vista yesterday.

Hey Steve - looks awesome. My bro said you were on his plane today. Hope you make it, and hope to make it to Delta Intl soon!

Hey buzzlatka do you have 180 gear legs on your plane? It seems to be sitting up higher than my 170. Let me know next time you fly down to the Delta strip and I'll tag along.

Quinn, Lowrider COME ON!!! You're killin me!!!

Quinn, stop sending me all those ridiculous awesome photos of the new spots you KNOW I can't make in the summer,....and now this??? Some off-airport camping? Don't make me go to work out there that weekend with your shenanigans either! hahahaha!

I'm jealous!

Splash - I am sure we can start a fire to get you out that way. I have no spark arrestor.

Awesome, fun stuff....
