Yeah Baby!!!!

Lookout Phoenix here I come! Can't wait to get out of this terrible Michigan weather. The Phoenix event is always a social event lots of good pilots and good people.

GPS Cordinate

Anyone have the GPS cordinates at the field. Been there a few times but want to play with my new GPS on this trip.

Can't give exact GPS position, but if you can find Williams airport, you can find the field. Elevation at Phoenix SkyHarbor airport is 1,130 feet. Not sure at the event site. Wind can be anything from none to 10-20mph, can not really predict. Weather in Phoenix is Sunny, blue sky and about 80degrees. I think it will definitely be a little warmer in 2 weeks.

Check the information packet at the top for hotel information. 113 pilots have preregistered for the event to date, about 40% more than prior years.

Howdy...

Is it me? On the fun fly web site, I can't click on any of the menu items on the left. They look like radio-buttons, and they don't seem to do anything..

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

It's not just you

Hi Ben,

I too have tried to click on the buttons on that site and none of them seem to work for me either.

non-functional buttons since the site was posted. The pdf document that Mark posted tells all.

Just a little info on how things are shaping up. 115 preregistered pilots. Many more have called. We will have a RTF Raptor 60 and a RTF Sceadu 50 in a "Grand Raffle". Our regular raffle will include such items as a MS Hornet and a Mikado Logo 10. This will be the event to attend in 2002!
