Sixth Annual Memorial Day Fly-In 2010 "The Endless Foot Drag"

Text Box: The Arkansas/Oklahoma Memorial Day Weekend Fly-In is an informal gathering of ONLY PG and PPG pilots/families. A USPPA membership is required to attend this fly-in. Also, if you cannot provide proof of your PPG2 rating (or higher) you MUST enroll in the on-site ratings clinic. Not to worry, the fee is reimbursed upon completion.

Text Box: We have one of the largest bermuda sod farms in the area, which offers soft green sod and allows unobstructed flying at it's best.  Check out Google Earth, Fort Smith, Arkansas (View the sod farm area, which is straight west of Fort Smith, between the city limits and the Arkansas River).

Text Box: Organized flying begins on Friday morning, May 28, and concludes Monday evening, May 31.

Text Box: Camping is available on-site.

Text Box: A variety of fine dining and fast food restaurants are within 5-10 minutes from the flying area.

Text Box: There are several hotel/motels located within a 5 mile radius of the sod farms. (and Fort Smith airport with airline service: AA and NWA flights)

 

Text Box: This year again we have several opportunities that PPG pilots don't normally get at fly-ins:

Text Box: USPPA Rating Clinics: PPG 2&3 and Instructor (Instructor Clinic is already full)

Text Box: For current rated PG pilots, we will offer guided departures each day to the PG mountain launches (30-60 minute drive from sod farm) For those of you interested in transitioning from PPG to PG, give me a call and we can discuss your training options. Free flying is a hoot!

Text Box:  USHPA tandem flights will also be available.

Text Box: If you are new to the sport or still ‘tire-kicking’, you need to attend.  This is the place where you can see it all !!! Also, if you are struggling with a particular flying skill, there will likely be many advanced pilots available to answer your questions and/or offer guidance.

Cost of Fly-In is $30.  On-Line Pre-Registration Required: http://www.contentdata.info/2009FlyIn/
