What where the original dates?

Re: PRS dates changed

One week prior. June 11 to 14.
That brings it into Rodeo week, so get your hotel reservations in if you plan to being there.

When did they put 118 days in the month of June? I'm all for that!!! What a great idea, I like the way this guy thinks!

Re: PRS dates changed

What exercise could affect a civilian show on a civilian airport? Did they lose a demo because of scheduling? Just my opinion.

Re: PRS dates changed

Hey Beach Boss,
This is the message that I got prior to posting. The change of dates has been posted on the RARA site, but not the explaination.


"URGENT NOTICE!!!!"


We have just learned of a major military exercise that will be held in Reno
June 12 - 20!!! This exercise known as Vigilant Guard will have a direct
impact on PRS Race course flight operations (Jun 11 - 14) at Stead Field.
This impact could compromise flight safety. We have been assured by our
contacts that the exercise would be in a "wind down" mode starting on June
15-16 with the debriefing on the 20th.



The Executive Committee felt that we have no option but to reschedule the
seminar and will do so for Jun 18 - 21. Although this will move us to the
beginning of the Rodeo we do not think there will be a problem. "

Re: PRS dates changed

There is a branch of the Guard that is based at Stead airfield (inside the race course by the VOS, near pylons 5 and 6) that might be participating in the Military exercise. That would explain the interuption of the PRS.....

PRS is not a show or really even open to the public, although not a problem to go and watch as long as the general public stays on the right side on the dotted line....
Demo? I've never herd of a demo at PRS???

Re: PRS dates changed

Due to the re-working of the airport they regularly use (somewhere in Cali), the Guard has been using Stead now and then for exercises and training. There was a big stink last year when it was announced, locals did'nt want the noise. The've been so noisy, I was'nt aware they were still using it and I'm about 2 miles from the end of the runway...
Personally the reschedule is good as I was going to have to be away the original weekend and miss it!

If anyone is interested in PRS, the following link is a great video by Dan Chrapczynski from PRS 2007 - Gary Davis piloting the RV-8 during course orientation, Dan's in the rear seat. 2008 PRS is scheduled for June 18-21.

Re: PRS dates changed

So, take her to Reno with you as a Birthday treat, give her unlimited use of the credit card, and knock yourself out at PRS.
Reno is known for lots of lawyers and quickie divorces. Get your priorities straight!

Re: PRS dates changed

Or give her the divorce for her birthday.
If given the choice between that and PRS for a present, I know which mine would choose! Then I'de be too broke to go to PRS anyway...
