Old Koreelah Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Interesting Sue, but what provision do they make for mere RAA pilots to fly in? Landing fees, controlled airspace at a security-controlled airport doesn't make it attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingVizsla Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Interesting Sue, but what provision do they make for mere RAA pilots to fly in? Landing fees, controlled airspace at a security-controlled airport doesn't make it attractive. I have included the website address in post #1. The airshow is 11am - 2pm each day, so the airstrip will be closed to arrivals & departures. The "Getting There" advice only says "Fly in – If you intend to fly in to the Festival of Flight, parking for your aircraft will be available." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadstick Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi I am amember of the aeroclub and will ask to see if we can get permission for RAA and gyro participants. Last years was fantastic but lacked the rec side of things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbleboy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 You could fly in before the tower opens!...maybe? If you have a PPL and a Transponder on board you should right! Like Chad said it was a great event last year even watered down a bit too as the fire fighting aircraft couldnt make it due to fighting fires.
