FYI.



according to our local news this evening,,,   the red bull air races will be

at MV the weekend before our unorganized, unplanned, gathering at MV...  one

of the concessions of having the races there is the airport will be paved.

Those attending will be bussed into the area, which will not be around the

monuments,,, and the crowd  will be limited to 5000 persons.

I should treat that figure with a dose of salt.  The Red Bull organisation 

wouldn`t bother to get out of bed for those sort of figures.

The news report said that tickets were required,,,,  and the numbers were

kept low to minimize the environmental impact on the environment.  Also the

race area was to be in a remote area not visible from highway.  The video

they showed was rather amazing.

That's curious.



As most of the MV regulars know, one of the unique features of the

runway at Monument valley it that it is half paved, half dirt.

(Actually, one-fourth paved, three-fourths dirt.)  



I understood the reason for this was because the paved part was on

Goulding's (private) property, and the rest of is on Navajo reservation

land.  And although the Navajos allowed Goulding's runway to extend into

"their" land, their stipulation was that it remain unpaved.  I guess

they changed their minds.

Hi Boyd,

Sorry about that. It is a time honoured custom though!



Compared to the numbers which attended a local showing here 5000 seems 

pretty small. Of course if they are really charging $500 that changes the 

formula.

Here the charge was abouit $60 for a car load.



Cheers

bit harsh. 



As for the $500.   I have not heard if that is official.   Even if they bus

the 5000 to the airshow location,,,,, where are they going to park that many

cars?  



As for the paving....  wonder if they will extend the parking ramp?  And

more tie downs?    And I guess the Navaho Nation has come to realize that

the airport brings in additional revenue and visitors to the park.
