We were there in 2000. flew there in our Mooney. If you fly consider landing at Carson or Minden-Tahoe. Not far by car to Reno and much easier. I can not believe it has been 11 years!!!

Yep - been going for the last 6 years. 2011 will be our 7th straight.
If time allows I suggest spending some time visiting Lake Tahoe - we always allow 2 days there after the Gold Unlimiteds! Also, plan to spend a morning or afternoon in Silver City. It's like travelling back in time.

I first went in 1973, attended annually until my wife's health prevented travelling in 2008. it's a wonderful show and demonstrates the accurate skill required to fly low close and accurately.

Have never made the Reno event. Made the Cleveland Air Races in 49. The Original B-36 was there. That was a great show as I'm sure they all have been.
(Showing my age.) I've been in aviation for a lot of years.

Went 2 years ago. It was a blast. 5 days of watching planes and 4 days of the Blue Angels. If you go make sure you spend one afternoon watching from the G-Ridge. You are up close and actually above some of the faster planes. Also if you are going to be there for the entire event then check into joining the Checker Flag Club.
