Fifth Annual Mid-Atlantic Gathering of RV's - And Mitch Lock Day - June 10th
For the fifth consecutive year, EAA Chapter 1384 is sponsoring the Mid-Atlantic Gathering of RV's. This year we are putting a twist on our event and hosting it in tandem with Mitch Lock Day in cooperation with Chesapeake Sport Pilots at W29 (Bay Bridge Airport) on Saturday, June 10th. The event will start at 1000 and will go until 1400.
Food and Drinks will be available, along with FUN FOR EVERYONE! The event has been a GREAT SUCCESS the last four years (see threads http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ad.php?t=99800, http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=112928, http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=128715 and http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=136913).

Cool
I have been to the past ones and looking forward to this one.

Only 5 days until the 5th annual gathering of RV's at W29. Long range weather looks nothing short of SPECTACULAR!

I've been to the Bay Bridge airport before, but never to an RV gathering. Looking forward to my first one!

Fifth Annual Mid-Atlantic Gatering of RV's/Mitch Lock Day
Saturday is looking very promising and we already have a number of RV's registered on the Chesapeake Sport Pilot Facebook web page. Just some notes for Bay Bridge Airport arrivals. We will be using both sides of the runway for RV parking. Look for the ground crew with the orange batons and follow their direction.
If Runway 29 is in use, please make your downwind leg over the white water tower south of the field to avoid flying over noise sensitive area. (this tower sits near the waters edge on the bay) EAA Chapter Members will be wearing a Navy Blue EAA Polo Shirt with EAA Chapter 1384 on the sleeve. Any questions can be addressed by them. Safe travels and see everyone Saturday! Steve |
Looking forward to seeing a lot of RV's on Saturday.
Heads up for W29, Bay Bridge Airport, they have a some noise abatement proceedures that everyone is asked to follow. Most important to know is that the left pattern for Rnwy 29 is a 2nm offset from the runway (2nm X-Wind and 2nm Base legs). Use the water tower South of the runway for guidance. http://www.qac.org/ImageRepository/D...documentID=238 Runway 29 Departures / Arrivals

Oh, yay! I can sort of fly in to this one: I will get in my plane in my hangar and make airplane noises and then exit and walk down the flightline to greet you all! (My simple engine monitor installation I started in February is turning into a six month major re-do of the cockpit and electrical system, what with the rest of life getting in the way).
Regarding the noise abatement for 29, my local knowledge says turn from crosswind to downwind around the water tower, don't cut anyone off on downwind or base, but if you are number one on downwind or from the 45, angle your downwind as you avoid the neighborhood to a reasonable base / constant turn to final. Be cognizant of training flights making big dadgum rectangles. If anyone needs any help this weekend text area code 410 and then the seven digits in my signature. Welcome to my island! |
Due to a QB event scheduled for the same day, I'm sad to misss this one. Always enjoyed the past gatherings.

Fifth Mid Atlantic Gathering of RVs
For those of you flying into Bay Bridge Airport and like Maryland crab cakes,we have 2 restaurants within walking distance. The Crab Shack is just outside the airport and for a water view try Hemingways. Fly down, visit Mitch and take some crab cakes home to the family! We will have burgers and dogs at the fly in for when you arrive. See you all on Saturday!'
