Olav Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 The time has come to start your planning for this year’s 12th Annual CT/LSA Fly-in at Page, AZ! The dates are Wednesday October 16 - Sunday October 20, 2019. “Official” arrival in Page, Arizona is Wednesday, Oct. 16th and we head for home Sunday morning Oct. 20th. We will do group flights over the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley (breakfast), Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon (breakfast), once again to Escalante, Utah (breakfast), and also offer options to fly to Sedona, Arizona (breakfast), and/or the Bar 10 Ranch airstrip if enough are interested. Each year we change a few things to add variety to the experience. Hotel group reservation and other arrangements are pending. Watch this site for the announcement of hotel, rates, etc. We are once again planning on having a "pre-event" fly-in to the Bryce Canyon Airport provided Ruby's Inn is available at a good rate for our group. If rooms are available, then this pre-event will be Monday October 14 - Tuesday October 15 and then we will have a group "fly out" to Page on Wednesday morning October 16. This will give everyone a full day at Bryce Canyon National Park to explore, hike, or do anything you want to do. This event will be limited to 10 planes due to ramp limitations at Bryce Canyon. So once this pre-event is confirmed there will be an announcement here and you will want to make your reservation early to assure yourself a place at Bryce. As with above, hotel group reservation and other arrangements are pending. Watch this site for the announcement of hotel availability, rates, etc. Once again Olav Johnsen and Tim Greer will be the contacts for questions, comments, and suggestions. Stand by for further information soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olav Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 OK...here we go! Preparations are well along and the countdown has begun for the 12th Annual Page CT and Light Sport Fly-in October 16 - 20, 2019, with the Bryce Canyon Pre-event at the Bryce Canyon, Utah airport October 14 - 16. Both the Clarion Inn in Page and Ruby's in Bryce City have come through for us once again. Here is the information you need to make your reservations for lodging for the 2019 Annual CT and Light Sport Fly-in: Bryce Pre-event Monday October 14 - Wednesday October 16: Ruby's Inn, Bryce City, UT (Bryce Canyon) for the pre-event. Call direct to (435) 834-5239 and ask for the rate for the "CT Group". Our rate is $119 for two queen beds and full breakfast. We have a block of 10 rooms only so if you intend to enjoy the pre-event be sure to make your reservation early. Again, be sure to identify yourself as part of the "CT Group" to get this rate. We will do a group "fly-out" from Bryce Canyon Airport midmorning Wednesday for a group arrival at Page Airport for the start of the Page Fly-in. Page Fly-in Wednesday October 16 - Sunday October 20: Clarion Inn, Page, AZ. Call direct to (928) 645-9000 and ask for the rate for "CT Group 2019". Our rate once again - unchanged for us for many years - is $65 plus tax. DO NOT call any of the online booking outfits or similar; you have to call direct to the Clarion Inn there in Page. And again, be sure to identify yourself as part of the "CT Group 2019" to get this rate. We have a block of 32 rooms at this rate. This year in Page, starting on Wednesday October 16, we will gather each evening Wednesday through Friday in the dining area of the Clarion Inn from 5:30 - 6:30 or therabouts with drinks and light snacks for introductions, mingling and, most importantly, for having our safety briefings and sign ups for various sightseeing flights and destinations. After that everyone is free to head to whatever restaurants you want. IT IS MANDATORY THAT ALL PILOTS ATTEND EACH EVENING. No more Ranch House Grill! Our final night's banquet will once again be at the Dam Bar and Grill in Page. We will have the long table and adjacent booths available starting at 5:30 Saturday evening October 19. As always, our host FBO at the Page Airport is Classic Aviation (928) 645-5356 (ask for "Chris" at the front desk for any questions you have). We will be parking on the large "new" north side ramp area. We will be getting a discount on fuel (100LL only available). Finally, we will again be renting the large 10 passenger Ford van and will be running a shuttle with it from the ramp to the hotel or wherever you want to go. Extra drivers appreciated! It will be available beginning mid-morning Wednesday October 16 through Sunday morning October 20. Any questions or comment please PM either me or Tim Greer. See you in Page (and maybe in Bryce too!). Olav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Todd B Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Correction Olave, the number you posted for Ruby's is actually the Airport Phone number which is handy to have as well. Rubys is: 435-834-5341 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olav Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Check that again please. That is the number at the bottom of the letter from Olga shown for Ruby's, above...AND I just called it 10 minutes ago and made my reservation with the Ruby's front desk at that number! How did you end up with it as the airport number? This is the number we call from the airport to Ruby's to get their shuttle to come pick us up.

Olav Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 For emphasis and to ensure you get your reservation in the block at the block price - per the letter: "If someone wishes to call in and reservation agent on-site can help them Please state the following to the reservation agent: “I would like to book an individual room inside of a group block.The block name is “ CT Group .” Then give them the date you would like to arrive along with the number of nights you would like to stay."

Olav Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Oops. My mistake. I looked back to my original posting from last night and I see that I put the airport number in that original posting. My mistake! We are crossing "in the mail" here...I thought you were referring to the latest info per the letter from Ruby's. So, your Ruby's number as corrected is right and is the same as the latest post. Rubys is: 435-834-5341 as pointed out and as shown in the letter copied for the GROUP BLOCK INFORMATION. Thanks for the catch on that one!

Olav Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Once reservations are made at either Ruby's (Bryce Canyon pre-event) and/or Page Clarion, please send me confirmation by PM, and also copy Tim Greer, so we can keep the roster updated. In the final few days before the events this will also allow us to advise both airports of how many planes to expect for their planning purposes.
