There are 3 runways at RNO; however, two of the three are closed. The only open runway is the second-longest one ... 17L-35R ... which is 9000 feet long. Repairs to the intersection of runways 17R-35L and 8-26 are being made, with the obvious result being that both of those runways are closed.

In addition to this Coulson B733, there is a Coulson Hercules, an Aeroflite RJ-85, four Bridger Aerospace CL-415 Super Scoopers, an MD-87, three SEAT aircraft, and several helicopters (NevArmyNG, Reno PD, and private agencies) equipped with Bambi buckets making continual drops, but pushed by strong winds coming over the Sierra Nevada from the southwest, the fire continues to move closer to the southern suburbs of Reno. Extreme high winds are being forecasted for late this evening and tomorrow and due to those winds, most of the firefighting aircraft will be grounded at RTS tomorrow.

At Reno-Tahoe International, only one runway is open. (Major reconstructive work at the intersection of runways 8-26 and 17R-35L means that both of those runways are closed.) And since the Davis Fire is only a few miles south of KRNO, and advancing closer, the tower controllers are dealing with a wide variety of fire fighting aircraft flying at low altitude in close proximity to the southern end of the airport. Also, thick smoke is obscuring visibilty. One of the problems is that aircraft approaching from the south are at low altitudes where the fire fighting aircraft are operating in the smoke. So, to keep the pax aircraft out of the area, the tower has had to have approaching paxbirds come in to the only open runway from the north (to land on 17L) while departing aircraft make wrong-way departures TOWARD the north (on 35R). Meaning aircraft arriving are flying in a headon situation with aircraft leaving. So the wrong-way departures must be held up by 35R until the arrivals have landed on 17L. Plus the firefighting aircraft are flying back and forth from RTS to the fire which is almost a straight line directly over RNO. So the tower personnel are doing tremendously in keeping aircraft apart and everyone safe.

Maybe we should take up a collection, see if we can get them some engine cowlings. It seems so incomplete.

The blast of wind was totally unexpected. I wasn't surprised to see that my photos showed the Alaska pilots having to 'wrestle' a bit with their Boeing in order to get the mains down on the concrete because that same gust of wind actually pushed me off balance when it smacked me in the back. But the pilots got the left side rubber down and easily "righted their ship" to get it safely down and rolling.

Our 6th grade class took a field trip to the North American Aviation F-86 assembly line on Aviation Blvd. in Inglewood, CA. Unforgettable. To me, one of the best looking airplanes ever made.

I was confronted with a momentary dilemma this morning. I could either ... a) go to Carson City and view a fine static collection of outstanding aircraft being displayed by the Cactus Air Force at the annual Carson City Airport Open House, or .... b) go to KRNO and catch a gorgeous Queen Of The Skies as she would be passing right next to me when she was departing Reno. But the decision wasn't all that difficult for me. I've attended every KCXP Open House for the past eight years and I've seen and photographed every aircraft in the CAF Museum's collection. And, those aircraft will be there tomorrow. But the Queen is rapidly disappearing from the skies over the USA, and also, the Queen rarely visits RNO; an airport that never sees anything larger than B757s and A306s. So the decision was actually quite easy. (grin)

Got to see and climb into this "big girl" today. Awesome, beautifully restored aircraft. Won the Lindy award in 2018; I can see why.
