Happy New Year Everyone,
We know that we have not
kept you updated with our posts but things are quickly going to change.
On
the 27th of January, Geronimo Experimental Aircraft is hosting a Fly-In!
Geronimo Experimental
is home to the largest experimental/amateur built center in the Southwest
US. Seeing the facility is worth the time and 100LL burned during the
flight. Geronimo Experimental was the organizer for the US Flight Expo in May
2017 at KAVQ. If you fancy a Lightning Kit or want to explore rapid build,
reach out to Greg to discuss.
For the adventuresome
campers, you can fly in Friday afternoon and hang out for the barbecue
scheduled at 6:00pm. There is no lighting for the strip, so plan to
land before sunset!
Highlights include an
opportunity for training with HL Cooper, www.azsportflying.com ((520)
682-7504) for ultra-light and light sport transition or
bi-annual.
Geronimo is located~
32.38 deg N/11.37 degW @ 2165 AGL. The build center dirt strip is 2800 feet and
a width of ~75 feet.
The build center area
will accommodate 20 aircraft. Please contact Greg Hobbs on e-mail at hobbs28@gmail.com or 520-405-6868.
Please RSVP
for flying into Geronimo
to affirm a parking space. Please identify your name, phone number, approximate
arrival time and the type of aircraft.
For those of you that
would like to attend, but not land onto a dirt strip, we will arrange
transportation from/to the Marana Regional Airport.
Greg and Crystal Hobbs
will host a lunch at the build center at noon. Donations will be accepted.
For those of you
driving in the address is 18750 W. Avra Valley Road, Marana, Arizona 85653 (Tucson Area). The access to the parking
area is via the Gasline Track just beyond the gate to the build center complex
off Avra Valley Road.
Greg will make space
available for any Chapters who would like to host a meeting on Saturday.
We look forward to
seeing you there.
