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: 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.
