Burning Man

I hopped over the hill for a couple laps around Burning Man on the final day of the event. Lots of traffic in and out, they have their own conga line to/from Reno shuttling people. Would have been cool to go out during the week to take some friends out on sightseeing flights but didn't have the time to make the trip. I've attended the event many times but it's been a few years.

Tower has you fly at 7000 MSL (about 3000 AGL) clockwise around the outside of the city for sightseeing.

There were a few other Mooneys I saw going in and out, any here?

Cool! TY for sharing. Wish I'd checked it out back in the 80's when I was in SoCal. It looks quite large now in those pictures.

Yeah it's huge, but seems to have capped out at 75k ish people for years now. I'm assuming the BLM/other agencies won't approve a larger event as there was drama about it back in the day but I haven't kept up.

I stopped going regularly when tickets became a lottery situation.

Very cool. I have never been there. Tickets may not be as coveted as they used to be, I read that they struggled to sell out this year.

My understanding if you land there, make sure you throughly was the airplane once home. The dirt is corrosive.
