| Subject: | 1st Annual Mountain West Formation Clinic - 9 DAYS LEFT! |
Mountain West FAST Formation Clinic, KENV, May 26-29
Gang,
UNCLASSIFIED
(i.e. Please Share!)
NOW IS THE TIME to make your room reservations if you have not done so already.
Our blocks will be released shortly as their demand is high and supply is low.
If you dont want to sleep in the B-29 hangar, reserve your room today.
Here is the rest of the update. I just received approval for a permanent aerobatics
box at KENV. You must hold a SAC card to use the box, and sign the waiver.
We will have the box open on Friday and Saturday in the later afternoon for
practice (see schedule below).
We have check pilots from several signatories planning to attend, as well as plenty
of instructors. Currently there are about 10 aircraft registered, so theres
room for more, but plenty to get in all the flying you want. Its not to late
to register (go to flyredstar.org to register), but please let us know ASAP
for planning purposes.
Here are the event details:
WHO: Any pilots interested in formation (if you do not have a tandem seat, bubble
canopy aircraft, please contact me to see what we can work out)
WHAT: FAST Formation Clinic. Brand new formation pilots, those interested in
being a brand new formation pilot, and seasoned veterans alike are all welcome.
(More on expectations in an upcoming email)
WHEN: Thursday May 26 thru Sunday May 29. Ground School will be Thursday at 1600
followed by a BBQ on the ramp amidst historical WWII hangars.
WHERE: KENV, Wendover, Utah (on the Nevada/Utah border) home of much WWII history
and adjacent to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Located approx. 90nm due west
of Salt Lake City.
WHY: Why not?! Camaraderie, high quality training, and fun.
Cost of the clinic will be $95 and includes a welcome BBQ on Thursday evening,
lunch each day, pilot drinks and snacks, and whatever pilot schwag we can come
up with. This is a great opportunity to visit and fly at a truly historic airfield
- selected by Paul Tibbets to train the B-29 crews that ended WWII in the
Pacific. Tons of ramp space, great facilities including a B-29 hangar we can
use if we get bad weather, and open airspace.
Please REGISTER so we can get a headcount. Registration fees will be collected
on site.
IMPORTANT - Below are the following hotels for which we have negotiated group rates.
Please use the group code FORMATION CLINIC to get the discounted rate.
Wendover is a border gambling town so they tend to sell out on the weekends.
Please make your reservations ASAP to ensure you get a room.
***QUALITY INN - 15 rooms blocked $65 for 2+ nights, $75 for one night (435) 665-2226
****BEST WESTERN PLUS 10 rooms blocked- $99/night (435) 665-2215
Please contact me directly if you have any questions, and please spread the word!
Lets FLY!
