Anybody within fly-in camping range of Central Nevada take note:
I just attended a great little back country pilot fly-in in a place called Austin, NV. What a great little fly-in they had! Lots of bigger bush-plane types, 180's, straight-tail 182's, Maules, PA-18's with the off-road tires, etc.
If you're a back country type of pilot make a note to attend next year's event if possible. A lot of fun was had by all. Sub-terranean BBQ beef pit-roasted all you can eat, spot landing contests, wild LearJet fly-by's, and far off the beaten path. Austin NV was a WW2 auxiliary field 8 miles SW of the town of Austin, on State Highway 50 "The loneliest road in America".
The local weather conditions and field elevation (5600MSL) are 100% not suitable for a stock 65HP Taylorcraft with two people aboard, and are barely suitable for even the sharpest 65HP T-craft pilots solo. An 85 or 100 HP equipped T-craft would be far more appropriate.
