Reno Air Races

I haven’t any idea what to expect here at the air races. I got myself parked and settled in, and will explore a bit tomorrow.

Meanwhile, airplanes are buzzing around, and I have a little view of them from my RV. Parking here is much like the Albuquerque Balloon Festival: the cheap places are amazingly tight on the desert dirt, across a road from a manufacturing plant, and a short walk away from anything interesting. My neighbors so far seem like good folk, very very experienced fans.

I’m here for a week. Temperatures are lower than Sacto, I expect 88/58 all week.
