Have a wonderful and safe trip, Robert.  I got your missed call yesterday, but I am just getting pummeled at work. :-\

I will call you when I am on the road ;)

I managed to get on the media list, but I later found out there are going to be bleachers, which might work out better than a small media pit....... :)

I plan to drive. Am going up the day beforehand. It's definitely not my favorite drive in the world - for some reason it seems to go on forever, lol. BUT there are always stops along the way - Owens River, Alabama Hills, various lakes near Mammoth & above, etc etc........and I found several awesome camping spots up near Reno, too.

Yeah, it's definitely a Long Drive.  From Torrance, it takes me about 9 hours to get to Carson City.

Do you guys drive up for that show ? ......now thats a drive.

I was there last month and a CAG was training....pretty awsome . I got to go to the boming range and thought that was pretty cool.

I was there for the helos but , for a jet head its heaven.

Myself, I'll be driving up 395 and then dropping off my trailer somewhere and then heading over to Fallon.

Robert, I posed this question on ASB and somebody came back with a PDF file that shows the layout of the runways. Looks like the crowd will be facing northeast, which means we should NOT be looking into the sun at all!!   <cheers>

Now that's good news ;)
