STEAD AIRPORT TENANT BULLETIN
RUNWAY 8/26 TEMPORARILY OPEN, DAY USE ONLY
We reached a major construction project milestone in the re-build of Runway 8/26. Happy to let you know that we have been able to temporarily open the runway for Air Races, on schedule. I think the surface is pretty nice, but will like to hear what you think.
Runway 8/26 is temporarily open from September 4 – September 17, 2018 for the Reno Air Races. Runway 8/26 and Taxiway A are currently un-lighted due to continuing construction, so RWY 8/26 is DAY USE ONLY.
