Rob - we can fly saturday as well.

Who is in?

Well if I have to come then I guess I have to come.

I will have to fly up to Truckee early Sun. AM and meet everyone before fly-out. I have to fly to South Lake at the end of flying Sunday, but may be able to fly again Monday AM if anyone is going.

I will fly up either Saturday afternoon and camp out at truckee or fly up Sunday morning. Depends on my wife and the winds.

Scott and Emmet let's come up with a plan here pretty soon. I am good to go but would like to just be gone one night if I can help it.

We should do Saturday most of the day and Sunday morning. How does that sound?

Pretty easy to camp at the ranch or in my hanger...

Sounds like we may have at least 7 or 8 planes for certain...

Dude?

Yeah...I know Zane

We should all make this fly-in 400 miles North on Saturday, to Zanes wedding for a fly huge over!! Anyone?

Well, due to family issues I'll be flying up early Saturday morning. No camping for me this time. Let me know where I can meet y'all once I get to TRK.

Would still like to do a campout in the future. Just isn't working for the family right now.

So what's the verdict? Fly Saturday and Sunday? Rob want to camp at Truckee on Friday night? I will bring Steve Henrys DVD if Kevins Hangar TV offer still stands. I need a firm plan here soon so I can plan something with my family for whatever is left of the weekend.

Lets do Saturday early (730am start if possible) and camp Saturday night at Truckee? Really want to get you guys on the south cirucuit as well and we can get an early start on Sunday morning, done by noon and sending you guys on your way. Depending on numbers, we can also camp on the start of south circuit for an early departure in the AM. Will decide that on Saturday while flying. Its very easy to do. Fuel options in Truckee are easy and others fuel stops are within 10 minutes of both circuits. Depending on your burn, you can plan for going light about everywhere with fuel stops in Beckworth / Nervino on the Northern cirq and Minden, Carson city on the south loop. Light and early AM is key if we want to land up high!!

Would be great to know who is really coming??

So far sounds like:

Emmet?
Joey
Rob
Svanarts
HarryV?
TimK
Buzz?
Coyote?
Donna?
260Driver?
Vick?
WE NEED GUMP!!!
lowrider
Who else???

Just needing some numbers. I have a keg we can crack if we have the numbers and BBQ we can use! I will have meats and eats with beer for everyone. You just need your self here!!! But again needing some numbers please.

Will continue to update this as we here from people. Send me a PM or post here.

Stacey and I will be coming up and camping at KTRK on friday night and will stay until sunday. Kevin, are there fire pits at the campgrounds on the south side of the field?

I am in for sure on Sunday (can be to Truckee early enough for launch), but trying to work out both days.

Looks like I'm in for Sat and Sun. Will depart early enough to get to Truckee and gas up on Sat. Stoked!!

I'm in along with a friend who is tagging along. We plan on camping Friday night in TRK. Any beta on camping there/facilities available?

Looking forward to meeting y'all and getting schooled!

We have a group camp site reserved over by the glider port. Its in the Martis Reservoir camp area. Firewood is available there as well. Flying to Stampede Res in the AM to have a look at our runway. Its been getting better every day so we may camp there. If so, bring your fishing pole! Will update tomorrow on this. Bottom-line, we have a spot at the KTRK airport now with my hanger close by as its convenient except that the camp ground is on the other side of the airport...not so convenient. Again, will update, but I will have dinner for you guys on Saturday night with cold beverage!

Have fun guys, I'll be there in spirit.

Take lots of pics too.

Yep, I'm definitely in for Saturday. I'll be there bright and early.

Man, looks like this is shaping up to be a kickass little fly-in. I'll be out of town, if all goes to plan I'll be back the following week with my 180. Should leave plenty of time for some good fall flying so I'll be up there yet Kevin.

Have fun guys, looking forward to pics!

I'm out guys duty calls I'll be Backcountry flying the hills of Afghanistan this weekend. Hopefully we can get together again before the snow flies. Thanks for stepping up and making this happen Kevin!!
