I lost count of how many cars with families [some had driven quite a distance to come to see MATT CHAPMAN fly his Cap] that were turned away at the gate, because they were not a member, or were not there with someone who was...

Not trying to question what ever rules are now set out, but rather just looking for clarifacation. I did not find anything on the website about it. Thanks
Yes Mike you still have to have at least one AMA member in the car. We also are allowing Full Scall pilots and members of the EAA to enter this year. But they must show their pilot license or membership to the EAA. Hope this clears this up.

Who's going from the St. Louis, Missouri area.. I would like to caravan. I'm taking my own van. But feel the trip would go buy faster with friends.

I’m leaving St. Louis Wed. morning.


I red that there will be plenty of room for camping and pop ups on the second flight line. I plan on bringing a 24’ trailer that will hold my groups planes, can I assume that you can park and leave the trailer near the second flight line?

If any friends from St. Louis want to know, we will be staying in the comfort Inn around 20 miles north of the field.

Is there a time when you close the gate, and no vehicles can come and go? We plan on leaving St. Louis Wed., but don’t know how late we will arrive. What’s the latest we can park the trailer, register, etc… Is it possible to drop the trailer off, and register in the morning.

They open registration around 8:00am I think.

If you come in late, the best thing to do would be park your trailer off the the left of the paved road and set up the following day. Once it gets dark you will never be able to find a spot.

Yeah, there are no lights anywhere after everyone is in for the night. Unless the moon is out.

What about after hours when it dies down. Will you allow 3D hucking for the 72Mz guys at the main flight line.

After hour flying is only for registered pilots. So if you plan on flying from Wed 14 - Sat 17th you must be a registered pilot.

Yes you can get your IMAA at the field.

Not unless you're talking about an electric after dark maybe. Flying will now be controlled at all times.

And, even if you are there early, flying will be for registered pilots only.

As long as you are a registered pilot you can fly all the way up to dark as long as meetings arent going on up at the hanger. There has always been night flying in your plane has lights on it. Not sure about the 3Ding at the main flight line. Might just have to wait and see if we can.
