Petit Jean Camp-in Fly-In ...is on the calendar! Ross and Doug have conferred and approved Fri, Sat, Sun .... November 4, 5, and 6th. Ask them about star gazing on the runway? Hoping that the crew from last year and many more will show for a great weekend of flying, camping, socializing, and general RV Good Timing Put it on your calendar and plan to play! Come Friday afternoon if you can or Saturday if you can only make it one night! Hope someone will post a few pictures from last year! Just a bunch of RV folks camping, cooking, swapping lies and talking airplanes!
There is a general plan for those that can to fly in Friday afternoon arriving in time for dinner. The folks at the Rockefeller Foundation who sponsor the airport campground along with the Arkansas Aero Commission have offered a BBQ Brisket/Rib dinner at the Boathouse on the lake for anyone that comes Friday afternoon. We expect 6-8 planes from the Mid South group and it would be great if we had some of the Central Texas group just like last year.
Jay, Danny, Scott,... if you could drag Doug and make Ross take a little time off we would have a big flock of something going on!
Local EAA 165 will provide Coffee, donuts, and gereral breakfast stuff on Saturday morning. We will have a couple of suburbans for those that want to camp or take a tour of the Rockefeller car museum during the day. Might have some fly out activities but mostly just hanging around the campsite and doing airplane things....flying, twisting, turning, formating checking airplanes, etc. We expect a few of the folks from the Formation Clinic held in Pine Bluff on the 16 of October to amaze us with thier newly learned skills.
We will have the big cooker there, charcoal, etc and provide lunch Saturday in the form of dogs and burgers and soft drinks. Same gig as last year!
The gala Saturday Night Steak Out will be at the campground and all you need to bring is meat. EAA will provide fire, baked potatoes, salad and fixings. Our mission is to make it EASY for folks to fly in and camp. Bring camping gear or there are some cabins available locally.
Come mid-Day Saturday if you can't make it Friday afternoon, aero-socialize Saturday, hike Sunday morning (transportation provided and free) and scoot when you feel like it.
Ross and Doug have promised to promote and EAA 165 will provide the ground support and guarentee a low effort high output good time! All we need is some sunshine and a flock of RVators
More details as somebody thinks of them...
