Private pilots need to plan ahead to fly to the Games
Flying your own plane to the Winter Games in February? It will take some planning.
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is one of three airports in the U.S. designated as an Olympic Portal airport for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
Reno-Tahoe has three fixed based operators to assist pilots headed for the Games.
The reason for the portals is to have a handle on security, manage air space and parking.
Reservations must be made by private or corporate aircraft planning to fly into Vancouver for the Olympics. This can be done at www.2010airportreservations.ca.
Canadian officials predict nearly 500 aircraft will land in British Columbia each day during the two weeks of the Games.
