Incredibly, it's looking like we might be able to make an attempt at flying
to Reno for the air races in September. We've got the grandma lined up,
we've got the staffing set up -- all we need now is the weather.

Ah, the weather, that fickle friend of us pilots.

I've been looking at our fly-in options, and it's looking surprisingly
bleak. I was disappointed to find that we can't fly into Reno/Stead
airport, where the air races are actually held. Worse, it looks like there
really aren't very many other nearby airports, other than Reno
International.

That's where a friend who goes there every year flies to, and parks
at Sierra Air Center. Advanced reservations are a must according to
him.
