Fellow Swamp Pilots,
As we look forward to the forthcoming Holidays, I wanted to pass on the planned dates for the next Swamp Fest at Waycross. Mark your calendars for 17-19 February 2017. (Wait, what happened to 2016?)
At this writing, we are planning lots of fun flying and as we expect to have three check airmen there, we should be able to give a few qualification rides. That said, if you hope to get a qual ride you'll need to get in as much formation flying b/w now and February as you can. You should arrive ready to check or at least very close.. Next month I'll ask for the community needs and we'll try to meet those needs at Waycross in February.
The plan is for a couple days of refresher formation flying to knock off the winter dust getting ready for SNF in the spring and the other numerous summer events. We expect to do some tactical flying Saturday morning and then late in the day we'll go into the attack mode with some flower bombing to see who is best at hitting mother Earth with a sack of flower. Given the number of former Naval Aviators amongst us (who always brag about being best at precision landings) we’ll finish the flying day with a spot landing contest. Pappy gets a Mulligan for the stuck mic interference from last February. There's a hanger party, dinner and awards ceremony Saturday night so winners will receive highly coveted certificates of achievement (and door prizes too!) to proudly display in your office or local FBO for all to envy.
More details next month, so for now...
Enjoy the Holidays with some down time and relaxation with family and friends.
Jon Blake
