Reno High Sierra 99s

Events

We have regularly schedule events - Monthly Chapter Business Meetings and a frequent Social Dinners at various local restaurants. Chapter business meetings are the 2nd Thursday of the Month, at 6 pm at Atlantic Aviation, Reno and also via Zoom.

Welcome to our Events Page

In addition to having our Chapter events posted here, we’ll try to keep this page updated with local or regional aviation events. The best way to identify what type of activity you’re looking at is to check out the logo. Chapter Business Meetings will have the RHS logo, Southwest Section events will use the SWS logo. Social events will use the colorful people with puzzle pieces logo, fundraising events will have the $ sign, and flying events will feature a cartoon woman flying a plane. All other evens will use the event logo. If you have an event you would like us to add, please let us know!

Our fellow 99 and Balloon Pilot, Karalynn will be flying her balloon, Citrus in the Sky at The Great Reno Balloon Race! Come show your support for Ballooning! Remember, they were the first to take to the skies in flight!! If you’ve never crewed for a Balloon Pilot, seen a glow, or taken a flight in a Balloon, you’re missing out!!

The official event days are Friday/Saturday/Sunday, however there will be flights Wednesday and Thursday as well!

For more information about the Great Reno Balloon Race - visit their website: https://renoballoon.com/

Per Karalynn:

We (Karalynn and her son Will) are flying all week - I will be flying Wednesday - Sunday.  Will will be flying Thursday - Sunday.  We will both be glowing Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I am also getting to do something pretty special on Sunday but more details on that later.

We both love getting the chance to share our hometown event with our local crew.  If you are interested in coming out any or all days - please let us know ASAP.  We will work on getting a schedule out to all of you.  We do get some parking passes so we will work on sharing them with you guys.  

GRBR is where my family first saw balloons - it will be special to share it as a team with all of you!
