Default TAS Pilot Registration open!

TAS Pilot Registration is open!

Its that time of year again to start making plans for the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout. The dates for this year will be Oct. 8th thru the 12th. Its our goal at Desert Aircraft and with the support of many generous sponsors to make this years contest the richest yet.

This year we will also be raffleing off a 3 meter Composite Arf Yak 55. This plane will be ready to fly complete with radio gear and many other extras. Once again without the generousity of our sponsors involved this would not be possible. The total value of this plane not including labor is over $9000.00. More details later on this.Thanks again to

http://www.desertaircraft.com/shootout_2008/index.php
and fill out the intent to register form and submit it by August 5th.
This form will not be avialable on the website until 12 noon PST.
After that print out your pilot worksheet and application, fill them out,

I am assuming that this raffle plane is going to be a custom paint scheme? I see that your painting guru is listed as a sponsor. I can't wait to see it and buy some tickets.

We are proud to be a sponsor and to support The shootout. I only wish we could make the trip out there. I still have my heart set on being able to fly in the shootout one day.

Yes, this plane will feature a full custom paint job that will make all the other planes jealous. So buy plenty of raffle tickets!
