A little late for reservations .. can try tho.

I cant make it this year to Reno .. had reservations an all, just dint get thru the State licensing and hired fast enough ( I mean .. I thought a 1 month window was allowing enough .. try 3 months .. they drag their feet scheduling NCLEX exam after you apply for it, then the VA takes forever to go thru hiring process.. sheesh)

I know about having to have reservations a year in advance for a place to stay anywhere near Reno,  during the races.   The good thing about being a truck driver (owner/operator) I have my motel room where ever I go.    :cool:

All I have to do to see the air races is step out on my front porch.

We just bought a new house, and instead of being on the South end of the airport, I will be on the North end.  Good to see the show from a different angle.

If any of you are coming, pm me, I usually have a BBQ for all the AH people who attend.
