I have another pilot asking the samething. I'm waiting on an answer. The field is on Corp property and the lake has a camping area, but not near the field.

I believe last year when Ed Deave came he had to camp in the camping area.

I'll let everyone know as soon as I know.

No I'm not running a shuttle service back and forth to the field.

Yes Trailers can stay there overnight. There will be security at the field.

Just like last year guys. I'll be out there Friday, if you want to get some pointers on set up or flying your sequence.

I'm going to try to make it- Depending on when I get out of class. I'm back flying the T-38 now in IFF (Fighter Fundimentals). I won't know until Thurs night what Fri schedule will be to make the 8-9 hr drive. It would be nice to make one more SC contest before I head off to Oregon in Nov. I "should" be flying a new Krill Katana, but on the day of the maiden (I got 1 flight) another guy taxied his 50cc yak into it full throttle! The wing and fuse are totalled. Bummer.
