Eagles Nest Airport Show & Shine – Saturday, May 31, 2014
The Ione Rotary is going to put on a top Show & Shine. There will be an air show and a grand raffle prize of a ride in a P-51. Five wineries on site, lots of great food starting at 7 AM with a full pancake breakfast with Boy Scout Troop 477. Open headers on the airport.
Driving instructions from Sacramento:
1. Take US 50 east to Sunrise
2. Exit Sunrise and go south 5 miles to Jackson Highway, Left on Jackson Highway
3. Go about 12 miles to Rancho Murieta, continue 2 more miles on Jackson Highway to Ione Road, right turn onto Ione Road
4. Go 7-miles south-east to SECOND Carbondale, (tile plant on right), turn left onto Carbondale Road (Note- First Carbondale is OK, but a rougher road)
5. Go up Carbondale Road 2-miles to Lambert, go up Lambert 1-mile to Airport & Show
WARNING- Do not use Google maps or GPS routing, these systems will take you on dead end country roads!!!
WARNING- If coming from Plymouth or Jackson (motels) west on State 16 to Carbondale, DO NOT take the first Lambert Road, it is gravel & dusty. Lambert makes a “U”, go to the other end of Lambert (further down Carbondale) to the nice paved end to the airport.
For more info, call Dave Wardall at 209-274-9160
There will be four P-51 Mustangs at this Show and Shine and a professional photographer available to take your picture in front of a WWII P-51 fighter.
Open headers are requested once you are on the airport property!
There will be several car clubs with street rods to classic cars attending.
There will be some very special private tours/events only to car clubs!
Clubs will have an opportunity to place their car in front of the P-51D Mustang for a close up photo by a professional photographer.
There will be a private tour of one of the remaining fully operational Rolls Royce P-51D Merlin engine overhaul shops on the airport. Car Clubs only!
We will have a raffle for a ride in one of the P-51D fighters at 3 PM.
Only car clubs are invited to bring their RV’s on Friday and spend the night. Several WWII fighters will be landing early Saturday morning.
This is sponsored and put on by the Ione Rotary. All benefits go to the community!
Location: Eagle’s Nest Airport Ione, CA; home to several WWII aircraft and Reno Racers.
Please see the flyer and registration form below.
Can you attend if you are not members of a car club? Is there an entrance fee for the general public?
Thanks!
Hi Nancy, I don’t believe you have to be a member of a car club to attend. I’m afraid I don’t have definitive answers for you since we’re not the organizer of this show (we’re just advertising it on our website since we’re planning to attend as a club). I recommend calling Dave Wardall at 209-274-9160. Dave is one of the organizers of the event and would be able to answer your questions.
Can I pre register. I have 66 mustang fastback and a 64 gto.
Hi Dennis, yes, you can pre-register using the form that’s attached to our post about the show. We hope to see you there with your GTO!
Still Room available for day of registrants?
We recommend contacting Dave Wardall at 209-274-9160. Dave should have the answer to your question. Thanks for visiting our site!
I am the original owner of a 1994 Viper R/T, I don’t’ think there is a class doe the car but is there special parking for special non registered cars such as the Viper? Thank you.
Rich
Hi Rich, we recommend contacting the event organizers directly with the question that you have.
