Reno Air Races press conference

[TangoWhiskey]

"On Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012, the Reno Air Racing Association will make a significant announcement on the future of the National Championship Air Races at a press conference at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno at 11 a.m. We thank you for your continued support and hope to see you there."

That announcement was that the 2012 races are a "go".

There are, however, permits that need to be issued that could still stop the event.

I'm going. I already borrowed a tank so that I can sit in the front row.

To ensure safety, all contestants shall now be required to file a flight plan.

And a few dozen shoulders immediately slumped in the local FAA regional office and FSDO Bet they were hoping they wouldn't have to be the political bad guys.

I'm going. Even if I have to skip OSH.
I kept saying 'next year, next year', and then realized there may not be a next year. If they get the permits, I'm there.

I know that Leslie's been talking about this too. Maybe this year is the year!
