Hey Guys,
It was nice to run into Rich at Mojave's Voyager restaurant. I try to make it to their "Plane Crazy Fly-In" every 3rd Sunday of the month (from 0900 to 1300). Maybe more of you will try to drop in now and then. I had my two kids with me so I brought the SuperChief that day.
As Ricardo mentioned, there will be a big event at KWJF, Fox Field Airport in Lancaster CA, on March 21-22. It's being promoted by the same guy that puts on Oshkosh's airshow. It's billed as the L.A. County Airshow (
http://lacountyairshow.com). Brian Maisler and I will be 2 of a 4-ship that get to fly a formation flight at the event. The Blue Angels and the Red Bull pilots (Kirby Chambliss/Extra 300 and Chuck Aaron/looping helo) heard Brian and I are flying so they decided to participate as well. Edwards AFB hasn't had an airshow in many years so this will probably be a big one. Edwards AFB will be bringing current military hardware and the Commemorative Air Force will be bringing the awesome restored big iron from Chino and Camarillo!!
The bummer news is that they are not allowing airplanes to fly into KWJF this first year. Between the many static displays and the expected huge crowd, they're afraid they won't have the ramp space. Any T-18s that want to drop in can do so at my home field, Rosamond Skypark/L00, or at Mojave/KMHV. We'll all work to get you to hotels and rental cars (if needed). Let me know who might be heading over. The keg will be full, the horse shoe pit will be warmed up and the hangar (f)lying can commence around the fire pit.
That's all for now.
Tony
