The 2nd Annual Wings Fly BQ is only three days away and I wanted to bring everyone upto date about a few things:
1)
Contests. We are having two contests, Precision Taxi Contest and Spot Parking Contest. There are three " Word" documents attached to this post General Contest Rules, Precision Taxi Rules and Spot Parking Rules. Open these docs to read the rules. Contest participants should arrive roughtly between 11A.M. and 12:30 P.M to participate. Contest winners will get a plaque and a gift certificate to Wings Pilot shop. I hope all will participate. If you cannot open the docs then send me a PM or an email and I will get them to you. (
special thanks to Ron L for his materials)
2)
Arrivals. Assuming arrivals on 24, Please report starting at 10nm out. If the freq is not to congested try to let us know youre inbound for the Fly BQ. Also let us know on downwind if possible if its not too congested. Please listen to AWOS for special instructions ( ya know ya gotta do it anyway) TPA is 1502' and Please avoid overflight of the school just to the east of the airport on arrival for 24. Most planes entering the pattern for 24 at KLOM will use the Quarry to the south of the field as a reporting point for the 45 entry. You can find the quarry on
http://www.runwayfinder.com/ ( Hybrid View) Bounded by Rt 276(PA Turnpike) and Flourtown Rd. as well as two golf courses.
3)
Attendance: I am buying for the number of folks on the attached list of attendees plus some extra for line crew and others that may show. Please Pleas please if you are comming and not on the list or are bringing extra pax just let me know ( I plan on shopping friday night) if you are on the list and have to back out let me know as well.
4)
Discounts: Montgomery County Aviation is giving us a discount on fuel I think the price will be $3.79 per gal 100LL. When you land and pay ( price estimate is about $8.00 same as last year) We will give you a hand stamp and sheet with a discount coupon for the fuel.
5)
Weather: Its a fact of life weather happens. If there is a weather cancellation I will post it in this fourm under a thread entitled "WINGS FLYBQ WEATHER". If you want my cell just pm me and I'll send it to you. If we do have to bag it we will still have something for those flying in from a distance so If you plan on comming regardless of the weather just let me know and we can put something smaller together.
First and Foremost. Be SAFE. Then Have fun we look forward to seeing you all there.
