Annual in June
Every year the Reno Air Racing Association puts on a rookie school for pilots who want to enter the Air Races and get their Race Class Pilot Certification.
And of course since Chuck has been dying to enter his Corsair in the Races he has wanted to go there for years. And of course, since his Corsair still isn’t finished, he might be inclined to take another plane to the class. Not sure if you can bring a Cessna but I don’t think Julio wants to take a chance having known Chuck for as long as he has …
Personally, I would love to fly one of those Formula One Class planes one day having been a Formula 1 fan AND a plane enthusiast my whole life. It would be the perfect combination! But I’d probably pee my pants since I’m not used to going that fast after thousands of helicopter flight hours at 100kts or less …
And who wouldn’t want to fly one of those modified WW2 planes??
Have any of you ever sat in on one of those seminars?
If Chuck dreams ever comes true, julio will need this link :

Where do you find this stuff, Fbs? Also, if Chuck’s dreams ever come true, I think Julio will find a new job.
He might even go into hiding.
My dad and I are planning on going to see the air races this year. We might not be able to do it, but we’re gonna try.
Have’nt been to any seminar, but a distant cousin has had a crash at the end of a F1 class race.
My home town used to host the Red Bull air acrobatics competition a couple of times. It looked beautiful over our small river and the historic town centre; but those times are now gone forever :-((
