Minden’s Aviation Roundup
The Minden-Tahoe airport in northern Nevada was home to the Aviation Roundup Air Show this past weekend! Great displays ranged from military aircraft to homebuilt amphibious planes to classic cars. Local vendors set up long rows of tents and exciting aerobatic performance sfilled the skies. I had a display for a special advance signing of Flight Emergency. Thanks to all who stopped by—I really enjoyed meeting you and talking planes. I hope everyone enjoys the read and becomes a safer pilot for it.
Official publication date is September 1—you may pre-order here on this web site or on Amazon.com.

Aviation Roundup at the Minden-Tahoe Airport
Come to the Minden-Tahoe airport this August 27-28 for the 2011 Aviation Roundup and Air Show! Check out some highlights that caught my eye”
- Aerobatic performances from the great Patty Wagstaff, “Super” Dave Mathieson, and many others
- A static display featuring a MQ-1 Predator Drone, OV-10 Bronco, and a highly modified P-51 Mustang, plus many other fantastic aircraft
- Classic cars and Harley-Davidson motorcycles
- Fly-bys, local vendors, and the chance to enjoy our great airport!
- The event is also a fundraiser for a good cause—Amanda & Kyle Franklin, the aerobatic performing team, and the ICAS Foundation.
I learned to fly at this friendly community airport, which is a place where everyone from glider pilots, single-engine Cessnas, and big corporate jets share the skies. I hope everyone who attends sees what a valuable resource it is for Douglas County! And I really hope I can meet one of my pilot heroes, Patty Wagstaff. It’s an honor to have her endorsement on my book. Don’t miss her performance—it’s sure to drop your jaw!
