 Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2007 3:53 pm Post subject: Lightning Record Celebration |
 |
|
This was sent out last week but didn't appear on the Lightning list, so I'm sending is again.
A celebration is in order.
The National Aeronautic Association or NAA has confirmed my US National Record from Savannah to San Diego, and has sent the World Record paperwork to the FAI in Switzerland. It will take the FAI at least 30 days to respond, maybe more and winter is coming.
So now is the time for a party, and you are invited. Saturday, December 1 from 11 am until we all get tired and go home, probably about 5 pm.
Location: My T-hanger at the Fulton County Airport (FTY). FTY is in the NW quadrant of the intersection of I-20 and I-285 on the west side of Atlanta. If the weather is bad we will move into the big hanger next door. I can't promise VFR weather, but we haven't had rain for a month.
Driving directions:
From north of Atlanta, take I-285 to Donald Hollowell Parkway, exit 12 (also US 7 . Exit, go right to the 2nd light at Fulton Industrial Blvd, turn left and go about one mile. Turn right at the traffic light and sign for the Airport (aka Charlie Brown Field). Follow that road past the GA Highway Patrol Post. Proceed straight on the 2-lane road to the right of the Hill Aircraft Terminal building. There is an automatic gate with a squawk box to request entry. Press the button, and tell the person who answers that you are going to Earl Ferguson's T-hanger. They will open the gate. Go past the hanger on your right and turn right on the wide ramp area. Do not proceed straight ahead onto the taxiway. You will pass the Fire Station, and the T-hanger is the next building. There will be some activity and airplanes parked, so it won't be hard to spot. If you get lost, call my cell 404-667-1065. If you have not driven on an airport before, be aware that you should give way to any moving aircraft.
From other directions, it may be easier to take the Fulton Industrial Blvd. exit 49 off I-20 (first exit outside I-285). Go north from I-285 past the airport until you see the large airport entrance sign at the traffic light. Turn left and see the details above to get to the T-hanger.
If you arrive by airplane, ask Ground for T-hanger directions, there are only 7 in two adjacent T-hanger buildings, easy to find. There is plenty of ramp space for almost anything you might arrive in, but if you have an A380 or a Dreamliner some prior arrangements may be advisable.
We will be cooking hamburgers and hot dogs, and maybe something else. Drinks and a cake too.
Earl and Susan Ferguson and N17EF.
No RSVP is necessary. Feel free to bring anybody who may be interested.
