Reno Sport Class Racers Will Also Hold Demonstrations
Organizers of the upcoming Golden West Regional Fly-in and
Airshow in Marysville, CA announced Wednesday airshow pilot Eddie
Andreini will bring his "Superbatics" aerial performance to all
three days of the show. A group of pilots from Reno Sport Class Air
Racing will also put on high speed demonstrations during the
show.
Eddie Andreini's Stearman Superbatics is a fast-paced, 15-minute
show that starts with an immediate double roll just after takeoff.
Andreini also performs his WOPCEVOK -- described as "a
heart-stopping end-over-end tumble maneuver."
Approximately a dozen members of Reno Sport Class air racing
will put their airplanes through their 300+ MPH paces, providing a
close-up look at this dramatic sport. Between flight
demonstrations, the airplanes will be available on the ground for
closeup inspection. The pilots will also speak at lunch on
Saturday, an event titled "Fast Food." Sport Class Air Racing was
founded 10 years ago, as a way to make air racing accessible to
recreational pilots. Many of the members have built their own
Lancairs, Ventures, Glasairs and NXTs.
"Eddie is a favorite of Golden West crowds and we are happy to
have him back this year. The Sport Class Reno Racers are a terrific
group. They are friendly fellows that not only like to show off
their airplanes in the air but on the ground in the pits," said
Golden West president John Gibson.
In addition to the airshow each day, The Golden West Regional
Fly-in will feature forums and workshops, as well as exhibits by
manufacturers of the latest aircraft, avionics and pilot
supplies.
The show will be held at Yuba County Airport (MYV) from June
6-8.
