Would love to go to Reno someday. Got to fly a T-28 years ago. Add me to your ping list.

If you are a fanatic (and it sounds like you are) you have to go for two things. The first is the sound of that many Merlins in one place. The second is springing for the extra bucks and getting a pit pass. Watching the crews pull an oil change on a Bearcat or other big engine will put a total perma-grin on your face.

I was stationed in Fallon for several years and we were lucky enough to get in for free. My kid and I would sit on the back of a squadron jet and watch the show. Those are very good memories for me.
