Fliars,
Well, tomorrow looks like a nice day, so pilot lunch at Noonish at Rollie's pizza should be packed. See you there...
and for Saturday...
Sullivan is having its annual Aviation Awareness Day. Ron says there will be food, rides, and a short air show. So we're all hoping for good weather. One site says 20% chance of showers, another says 2%, and three others say no rain until later in the day, so let's all fly down to SIV for some fun on Saturday. Billy Werth and one of his buddies will be flying so you'll get to see some great aerobatics in Billy's new Christen Eagle and a Pitts.
The airport is NOTAMed closed from 1 to 2:30 for show flying. If you would like to fly in and do some fly-bys before 1, that would be fine. Just use you regular procedures and be careful and alert.
If you want to do some passes in the show, the briefing will be at noon, and you have to attend if you want to fly during the show. The airport will close to traffic at 1 when the show flying begins, but we'll be monitoring 122.8 for incoming traffic and intruders, so call up if you arrive after 1. Rumor has it that the air boss is friendly so unless an act is in progress, you'll probably get in. We'll lift the NOTAM and open the airport as soon as show flying ends, which should be well before 2:30.
Our Red Star buddies are holding a formation clinic at Rantoul, and we've invited them down if they get bored, so we may get a formation fly-by or two.
So plan for good weather and come on down to SIV on Saturday. We'll have some fun.
and I didn't find any other events for this weekend. I guess the holiday scared everyone away.
Please be careful up there,
SOB
