Subject: Reno Banquet Fallon Top Gun tour

I've contacted Keven McGlaughlin about the tour of the top gun facility. We would have to do it on October 10 and have at least 10 people as you can see from his response below.

If you want to go on the tour please RSVP me that also so that arrangements can be made providing we get enough people.

      ********** Kevins's (Proton) response:

Sir-- per the PAO, the tours are for between 10-55 folks which is tied to the tour busses rented out of Reno.  The company is Amador Stagelines and they are the commercial bussing company in Reno.  Typical template is to arrive here at 0930 then to the tower, TOPGUN, Officer's Club, and the static display park.  Lunch at the O'club is around $9-10.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you soon.

VR,

Proton

    Mark your Calendars!!! October8 & 9 2013, ElDorado Hotel,

    Reno, NV

    I have paid the registration fee to the hotel so now all we need are

    lots of Western people to meet the gaurantee. Many of you last year

    said that you would "talk" it up and get your other WAL friends and

    flight attendants  to come because of the good time had by all. Lets

      Do IT! Make a point to call at least 2 other pilots and/or Flight

      Attendants and any Western persons.

    Remember, wives, husbands, Flight attendants, Agents &

      significant others are welcome.

    When making a reservation or RSVP to me PLEASE include your

      attendance at Al Ehringers "Gathering", if you are playing golf,

      and of course the food selection for the banquet. I need counts

      for all of these.

    to all on Tuesday 10/8 from 2PM to 6PM. Good

    friends, free food and booze.

        people. All our fighter jocks think that they are the best but

      instructor" and who is now the commanding offficer of Top Gun at

      Fallon will be our speaker. He has also offered us a tour of the

      Top Gun facility. This should be a great "pilot to pilot" talk!
