It is one of these two spots. I can’t remember which field exactly, but you will see campers there.

 

Carolyn Wilson  

Thanks Jeff. I was just going to tell Gerry that there are very few landmarks, and that we meet in a field outside of Wayside. The coordinates are probably better. Thanks

Lowanslow.com, Thanks Carolyn Wilson and Jeff Wood, my bride and I definitely plan on meeting up with you guys at the beginning at Wayside TX. See you there:)

4 Days until the 2016 Utah Flying Extravaganza

We will all be meeting in Green River Utah on Saturday. We are planning on being there between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. Sean and Dorothy Curry will be there already. They are planning on getting there on Friday. We will meet at the airport, just out of town. Flying there on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday we will head to Hanksville Utah. (1hour drive) We will check out Goblin Valley State Park, then go to the airport in Hanksville. I want to drop off our planes, and then make an excursion trip into the solenite coal mine airport. Just to make sure the road is good for getting in there on Monday. Fly there Sunday evening, and Monday Morning (San rafael Swell)

Monday, we will go to the coalmine airport and camp there. We can fly from there to the Hidden splendor Airport.
Depending on the Weather will determine how many days we stay there.
The thinking is to leave there Tuesday afternoon, and drive to Frye Canyon airport and stay there on Tuesday night. We can fly over the Natural Bridges National park and Frye Canyon. But if flying is good at Hidden Splendor/Coal mine, we may stay an extra day.
Wednesday / Thursday will be in Monument Valley. I have the camping booked. It will be $50 night. But it is very nice, and the airport is on site.
Then on Friday, after we fly, everyone is on their own to head back at their leisure.
The weather is looking great.
Everyone is still invited. We have 5 planes going .

Crappa was established in 2003, since then we have lost three founding members and some have gave up PPC flying! its time we try to get new blood in our group and get more pilots involved, remember there are no dues, , two rules, fly safe and no double dipping, our motto is still “all Indians, no Chief’s, the women have just as much say so as the men, when we can’t fly due to bad weather we can fellowship, as Bonnie says its never to windy we can’t eat!
Lets all try to introduce new people to CRAPPA and feel free to invite those I don’t have e-mails for to attend, (Eric contact Cecil), I’m sure Dave Krause will arrange for our annual inspections with His Son Doug.
I’m sure there will be some dates we have to cancel due to weather as last year, we will just re-schedule!! any ideas, for more information call Boot at 314-703-2140

Top to the Bottom of Florida Fly-In

Jim Dees, a good friend of mine is planning this Top to the bottom of Florida fly-in. I am planning a different kind of fly-in, it will be cross country flight from St Marys, Ga. (4J6) to Homestead, Fl (X51) then to Key West, Fl.(EWY) (You may trailer the PPC’s down to Key West if you do not want to fly over water) I am looking at 4-6 days and flying no more than 115 miles a day. You may fly the whole thing or join up any place on the way. It will be the first week of Nov. Several stops will be at Class D airports so you will need a tower endorsement and I can help you with that if needed.
If flying the Homestead, Fl (X51) to Key West, Fl.(EWY) Leg you are required a PFD (personal flotation device) and I recommend a flotation device for the PPC and an Elliptical wing. You will need your own chase crew.

For more info, contact Jim Dees at the info below:

A great explanation of why we fly.Living For Flight.

People ask me sometimes if I'm crazy when I explain that I fly PPC's (powered parachutes). I try my best to explain what it's like to fly and experience the world from 5 to 500 feet.
