"Found your article interesting...a man standing next to me stated that 'that wasn't a race - it was a parade!'

You did not mention the 'Mesquite Project' in your article   Their website indicated a super-sized airport and international airshow and air races in 2005 -- later changed to 2006. WOW was a major backer of this airfield -- in fact I found out about it from a link at their website. Has this been abandoned? This new airport would be far superior to trying to fix the dirt strip at Jean."

Our sources (multiple) indicate that this is the last year for the Reno "Invitational" National Championship Air Races, as they will be moved within the next two years to Jean, Nevada, 25 miles south of Las Vegas.

Considered a "poorly kept secret" rather than a rumor. If true, the City of Reno and its volunteers stand to be severely hurt.
