Default West Coast Formation Clinic 2014

Folks,

I'm happy to announce that the WCFC will once again be held in lovely Madera California. As usual, the dates will be the last weekend of April. April 25-27 2014.

We've set up a web page that has all of the information regarding the clinic with links to all the required reading materials, location, schedule, preparation, and application process, as well as hotel and contact info. Find details and apply to attend the clinic at:

http://rvformation.com/WCFC2014/

This clinic has been oversubscribed every year for the past several years and the roster fills up quickly. The application window closes on February 16th and attendees will be contacted the following week.

We are once again focusing on safely introducing newcomers to the art of formation flying. The training is tailored to each individual attendee's skill level. We usually have a large enough cadre of safety pilots and leads to insure that everyone benefits newcomers as well as old hands.

The camaraderie crescendos on Saturday evening when we all fly to my house at Sierra Sky Park (E79) for BBQ Tri-Tip and fixins.

There will likely be at least 3 FFI Check Pilots in attendance for those who are ready to test for an FFI card or need a re-qual ride.

George (Cipher) Ford put together a great video of last year's clinic: Thank you Cipher...

I look forward to seeing everyone.

Slick

Default Signed up, standing by smartly

When do you-all expect to confirm seats?

I'm interested, started reading the references, and I've signed up online; if there's anything else to do, let me know.

("put me in, coach!")

thx

Just be patient. We have to look at all the applications and select the participants. Every year we receive more and more applications. As soon as we know, all the applicants will know. Thank you for your interest. BTW, what is your name

Thanks for the PM

Break

The cut off for application is Feb 16th (after that the names go directly to the waiting list). We will then start our selection process. Many of us will be participating in a VERY LARGE formation soon, so that may push our decision time line a little later.
