4th Annual Page, AZ. Fly-In

Including Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon... and more!

 

Make those reservations now.. More people, more planes, different flight venue, bigger and better than last year!

 

The Page, AZ. Fly-In date is October 14-17, 2010

 

We will fly the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Zion Canyon and breakfast at Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley.

 

I managed to block off 40 rooms. We got a great rate of $49 same as last year. Last year I had to beg for our 35 rooms so this year I booked early. If last years attendance was any indicator we will fill all the rooms and have a record number of aircraft not only for our Fly-In, but for Page, too. Just like last year make the reservations early so you don't miss out and the hotel won't hold all 40 rooms forever. I was told they will take some back if people aren't signing up and it's getting late in the game.

 

Do not wait this year. Book it now and you can cancel up to 24 hours before Oct. 13th. Get it booked and reserved, then if you have to cancel you can, but if you wait again then you may not be staying with the rest of us and at your own peril for rates and possibly a different hotel. They book darn near the whole town in October.

 

We have a special rate at the same place we stayed last year.

Tell them you are with the "CT Group" or Roger Lee to cross reference and the rate is $49 a night. We will arrive Thursday morning, Oct. 14th. and head home Oct. 17th. Sunday or Monday morning. Breakfast is free in the mornings.

I talked to the people at the Ranch House Grill and they will cater our evening meals again. We will have evening meals together Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

 

Make sure to ask for Elis Brown (she works 8-4 Monday -Friday)

Best Western Arizona Inn

716 Rim View Dr.

Page, Az.

800-826-2718

928-645-2466

 

 

We will fly into the Page airport - KPGA.

We are staying with Classic FBO and with our group we should get a 30 cent discount on fuel.

Classic is not the first FBO next to the runway, but the second one behind them.

 

The Antelope Canyon tour and the Dam tour is open if anyone wants. These are land tours. I'm thinking maybe a BBQ at the park for lunch.

 

You guys are welcome to invite other planes that are not CT's and everyone is welcome. Find some more LSA's.

 

I will develop GPS coordinates for all our routes and post them so you can enter them in your own GPS. I have a plan to better deal with all our planes for our flights so they are not crowded in the mornings or evenings.

 

 

Don't miss this, we always have fun.

 

p.s.

I would like everyone coming to shoot me an email so I can put together a roster and call signs like we did last year. If you attended last year and we had your personal info then just say you are coming. If you did not come last year then I would like the email to include: N#, Names of you and co-pilot, cell phone number, city, state.

This is a big help for me to last year to organize our fly outs since we have so many planes and gives old friends and new friends a way to contact each other if need be.

I'm on board with N69HQ, myself and my copilot possibly. John. Reservations made for Oct 14-16 with Best Western.

Roger, Lynn and all the others.

As you know, mid-October is the middle of our harvest time; therefore unable to attend.

So as prior to all the other Page Fly-In events, we are unable to attend, again....

Please think of us, as we will be thinking of you folks.

Take lots of pictures.

For the usual group that layover here on the 'go-to' and 'return' leg of the trip, we still have ample room here...

Here's a Google Earth "tour" of the trip from up-lake Powell through Monument valley. The tour picks up about 10 minutes flight time from KPGA (Page), just a bit past Rainbow Bridge. You'll need to have Google Earth installed. After downloading the file, just double-click it...

 

This tour comes into Monument Valley from the North, down past Gouldings (airstrip), through the monuments, and back towards Page.

 

 

I'll be posting several tours... samples of the routes we'll be flying this October.

Hi Roger, I can't make it this year, conflict with a trip to California with friends from Oregon. Have a guy who will come with me next year. All have a great time. See ya next year. Mel

Brian, congratulations to you and your son! Had my prop adjusted so maybe I can keep up with you guys in the climb this time. Looking forward to being Roger's wingman flying down in those valleys SW of Page. Also, watching you skim along the canyon cliff! Those memories will be forever engrained. See you soon... John

Julie and I will be leaving from Lubbock area around 7-8am on Thursday morning, weather permitting. We'll go 2.5hrs to Double Eagle in Albuquerque for a fuel stop, then 2.5hrs into Page. We have n "East Wing" of our house that we'd love to open up for the people coming in from the east on Wednesday night (Dallas?). I think we could even get some non-alcoholic 91 octane auto gas, if interested.

 

Just PM me...

We truly are sorry to miss, again, this fantastic event. We had our fingers crossed, but the harvest equipment and crews arrive Tuesday AM.

So if any of you 'northern group' want a layover, either direction, you know how to reach us.

May all of you have an enjoyable and safe gathering.

Sorry l had to cancel but I have to be in South Carolina on Sunday for a BMW event. I'm going to try to make it to Copperstate on Sunday so maybe will see some of you there.

 

John and Julie, give me a heads up (505-239-5621) when arriving at Double Eagle and maybe I can meet you for a quick lunch.

Well, I need to back out of the offer for a room and a bed. We had our main water line from the well to the house break last night dumping water into our just remodeled and refloored dining room and garage! We are without water and may be staying in a hotel ourselves for awhile. It shouldn't deter us from making Page, but it wouldn't be much staying at our house without water. Fortunately, I've got a plumber across the street that jumped in quickly and got things shut off. We can still help with the auto gas and get you to a hotel room if anybody needs an overnight.

Wow... weather for the fly-in looks to be great! Low-to-mid 70s with blue skies during the days, and 55 at night. Little to no wind forecast. Some weather sources showing minor chance of clouds on Sunday. If it follows the typical pattern, they won't show up until afternoon.

If any one needs door lift struts I can bring those, too. $70 for the pair and these will raise your door higher.

 

Roger,

 

Bring a set of door struts for me.

 

Looking forward to seeing you.
