Jets 44 to Reno For Night of Gambling

Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club 39 reinstated its Reno airline service to the "Biggest Little City in the W'orld" with a charter flight of 44 rough and tumble lumbermen aboard.

Throueh the efforts of Bob "Crash" Macfie, Club 39 was able to charter a Fa' cific Air Line F27 Turbo Prop plane for the trip, a considerable improvement over the Ford Trimotor type transportation used in previous safaris to the mile-high gam' bling mecca. In fact, during the 1962 trip the plane pooped out at Fairfield, just a {ew minutes air time from the Oakland airport.

The flight departed from Oakland Airport at 7 p.*. and after a smooth 50 minute flight touched down at Reno. An airport bus whisked the boys downtown and in a matter of minutes the tables at Harrah's Club were buzzing with action.

After making a reasonable contribution to Harrah's, in return for its co-sponsoring the trip, most of the gang migrated to other lush pastures such as the Riverside, the

Mapes, the Holiday, or the New Golden Hotel. The result was much the same no matter where you went, however. Just walk up to any table and you could find a HooHoo buddy in full battle dress and in the heat of the fight.

There were, however, two big winners in the crowd (no names to protect the innocent), and these two gentlemen were conspicuous by their absence on the return flight to Oakland. We understand that they considered buying a Rolls Royce the next morning for a leisurely motor trip home, but they couldn't obtain the model they wanted in the right color. AIas, they had to settle for a chartered plane for their triumphant return to the Bay Area.

It is understood from prexy Bob Bieleck that due to the interest in the event. the Reno trip will again be made part of Club 39's annual program. So, rest up and save your change and be on hand next November for a bigger and better repeat performance.
