Great Pumpkin Fly-In and Speed Trials


Recommended Posts

As announced at Rough River:

 

The Great Pumpkin Fly-In and Speed Trials

October 28-29, 2006

Suffolk Airport, Suffolk, Virginia

 

Details will be forthcoming via a website, but here are some preliminary items:

 

1. Costume Party and Social event at Steve and Traci's house Saturday night. These parties (and the food) have become legendary. We hope to start another legend with your costumes. Slade, come as you are! :)

 

2. A Speed Trials (race) with in-air start around a shorter course, 4-5 planes per heat, etc. Don't know which day yet. Probably Sunday morning.

 

3. Steve and I will try and bunk as many people as we can in our homes. We're soliciting our EAA chapter too. In not, you can camp on the field or in Steve's yard. How 'bout that?

Wayne, Steve, and anyone else who I managed to tell that I'd make it to this fly-in, I apologize for not being able to make it. I was really looking forward.

 

After IFR-only yesterday, Rich Hughes and I decided to wait until this morning. According to NOAA we have 20-30mph winds right now, w/40-50mph gusts. Not comfortable flying weather.

 

Apparently Suffolk is all clear.
