Mountain West FAST Formation Clinic, KENV, May 26-29
Gang,
With 6 weeks to go we have confirmed volunteer ground support check pilot support, instructor support, airport support, hotel support, and airport support. What we need is participant support! In order for the even to break even we need 10 paid registrations. This will cover the costs of pilot snacks, lunches, the welcome BBQ, and one room for volunteer ground personnel support. So, if you can both take the time to REGISTER by sending me a quick email or registering at www.flyredstar.org This would be most helpful for our planning purposes.
I’m currently working with Clover Control to get some Restricted Airspace carved out for our Formation Operating Areas, and discreet frequencies. There is a possibility I will have the Aerobatic Practice Area Waiver over the airport approved by then, also. This is great airspace and a great time of year to get the rust knocked off before the summer flying season or begin the journey towards a FAST card.
We are grateful for the members of the Utah Wing of the CAF, CAF HQ in Dallas, TRARON, the RPA, and NATA for all stepping up and pledging their support. There is every reason for us to be sharing resources and making good on the pledge that “FAST is FAST” by training to a common standard, understanding operational differences, and supporting our precious privilege to operate these great airplanes.
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.
If you would like to come 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
