Minden Aviation Roundup

This past weekend was the bi-annual Minden Aviation Roundup. This was an excellent event with a number of fantastic aerial demonstrations. The piloting skill of the performers was breathtaking and beautiful. I didn’t get any good photos of the jet powered glider, but his performance was one of my favorites.

Heather, Sammy, and her future 49 1/2 Kelsey met for breakfast before heading to the show. Dani went early with other friends and saved seats up front for everyone. At the airshow Dani ran into our own Gwen, and later on Tina, from the Reno Area Chapter. A good time was had by all! Enjoy the photos below!

Pro Tips if you’re never attended the Minden Aviation Roundup: Bring your own chair, large refillable water bottle, sun screen, large shade hat, wear light weight breathable long sleeves and pants, and bring and a bigger umbrella to get some protection from the sun.
