Like I said, it's a fly-in with all kinds of events, so performing acts wouldn't be out of the question.

Nevada sounds like a good setting. I keep thinking of Reno, but somehow I think we'd avoid confusion if we had a fictional city (like Eva's Stratos City in Utah, or my Warbird Way from Penn.) to put this in.
As for a name for the gathering itself, I've only been able to come up with the words "western," "regional", and "airshow". Does that sound too lame, Western Regional Airshow?
Maybe, as far as time goes, we could make it a one to two week event.
For sport categories, so far we have: *pylon racing (for the competitive warbirds) *dogfight reenactments (historic and not-historic models welcome) *formattion flying demos (perfect for modern jets; think Blue Angels) *barnstorming competitions (for planes like Petra, they have to complete a course and are judged on their performance)

Western Regional Airshow sounds like a good enough title for the events that will take place. And I'm glad that I found a place for Petra in there.
She's gonna barnstorm!
When does everyone want to begin the RP? We could call it The Wild Blue Yonder, same title as this thread. Agree? ^^;;;

Agreed. Thompson can find his place there as a photographer.

Here's the characters I have that might work.
- Otter Skywatcher (For all around Scottish mischief) - Xeron Tradewind (She's an Apache Longbow - a type of Military Helicopter. Maybe she can be there for security or something) - Tomo Aoi Exan (A Shooting Star Clan jet. She's a small passanger jet with a perky personality. Can be a little ditzy.)

Hmm... Otter and Petra together at the same place at the same time... now that would cause some double mischief! XD

Hehehe! Now that would be something to watch.
Although there needs to be an introduction that will start the whole RP. Anyone got any ideas?

What about like if there was an announcer at the event, detailing what is going to happen the next two weeks, and what is coming up.
"Welcome to the Western Regional Airshow, which will be entertaining us for the next two weeks. We got all assortment of aircrafts here ready to make their name in this showbiz, and some cars and aircrafts who have general interest in shows lik-"

And have a trio of jets fly overhead to start the show off. That would work.

I would call it more of a "Fly-In" myself, because it's much bigger than a regular air show, and has social aspects as well. You'd have people coming in and camping out from all over, all kinds of vehicles. Look at the example of the Oshkosh Fly-in to see what this entails. www.airventure.org/

I would like to add Blanche Woodman, an F-111 Aardvark, recently retired from the air force.
Buck Sikorsky and daughters may also be making modest appearances.
And Yvonne Gordon and her kids and grandkid... but anything else about them will be a surprise.
