Gang,
We have secured a good deal on rental cars for ARS V. See the below
for details. Thanks to Keith Frost for the assist on this one! Online
registration will open shortly and I will make an announcement when it
does.
HOTEL
here has been some confusion about registering with the event hotel,
Best Western of Porterville. If you call to make a reservation without
mentioning All Red Star, they will tell you the hotel is sold out!
This is because we have 80 rooms reserved! When someone calls to make
a reservation, use "All Red Star" as the group name, which is in their
computer. The confusion comes because there are codes based on the
number of days that people are staying...
3rd - 7th: CGRED
4th - 7th: CGSTAR
5th - 7th: CGREDS
6ht - 7th: CGRED1
The front desk person will ask how many days and then the code will go
along with their confirmation number. OR you can reserve your room
using these
codes...either way it is under All Red Star. The CG is Best Western's
group code...nothing to do with us; something they have to use. If you
have any questions, please contact our Event Coordinator, Amy Rose, at
bomberamy(at)yahoo.com.
For reservations, DO NOT use the internet. Call them at 559-781-7411.
REGISTRATION
Online registration at www.allredstar.com will open, I'm told, in the
next 24 hours. I will send out an email the moment you are "cleared
hot".
RENTAL CARS
We will have a 15 passenger van, plus a few other vehicles on a
schedule to shuttle people back and forth from the hotel. If you would
like more flexibility, we have arranged a very convenient system for
you to rent a car for the event.
Cars INC.
1-(559) 781-9900
They will have your car at the airport when you arrive and check you in
there. When you leave, they will make arrangements for you to leave the
car and keys at the airport. (Including Sunday drop off)
Here's what the renter needs to do:
1) Inform them you are calling for the REDSTAR Discount.
2) Tell them which date and approx time you will arrive.
3 Tell them which date and approx. time you will leave.
3) Which car or van you want:
(Note: The 50 mile per day limit is the cheapest deal. The airport is
approx 7 miles from the hotel.)
SMALL: FORD Escort. $22.50 (50 miles per day)
Medium: FORD Taurus. $27.00 (50 miles per day)
Large: Grand Prix. $31.50 (50 miles per day)
SUV: Buick Rendezvous. $40.50 (50 miles per day)
VAN: 8 pax. $49.50 (50 miles per day)
VAN: 15 pax. $72.00 (50 miles per day), $90.00 (100 miles per day)
4) Have your credit card ready.
FLYING EVENTS
This year we're introducing a bunch of new flying events that promise
lots of good times both in the air and from an observers standpoint -
with the runway being much closer to the ramp at PTV, it will be a much
more enjoyable spectator venue.
1) Formation Challenge. Well with 3 years of great formation work in
the book, the ARS planning cell decided It is time put the "challenge"
back into the 4th annual Formation Challenge and put all your skills to
the test. Think Treasure Hunt meets TOT meets crowd pleasing formation
passes.  Gone are many of the subjective ground elements. Added
are rejoins, dead reckoning, TOT's, altitude separation blocks,
etc....all the things you'd be expected to do in an air show
environment. Start on time, take off on time, join up, make a photo
pass, head out, break up and find 4 undisclosed landmarks using
bearing/distance and a riddle for the landmark, rejoin, hit the TOT at
the hold point above the airport, make one pass (configuration at your
discretion), and recover using the break of your choice.
2) Carrier Landings No, we are not talking about Pappy rubmlin',
stumblin', fumblin' and flopping on a ping pong table. Were talking
about "Splash 12, call the ball!" "Roger, Ball!" Spot landings....with
a twist. Fly a carrier pattern with a 1/4 mile final, talk to the LSO,
make sure not to hit the back of the boat (yellow boards, laid flat),
and catch the 3 wire (all 4 wires simulated by flour lines). Complete
with a "Landing on the Boat" brief, "Paddles" will be out there giving
you corrections and we'll have it all on video for the Saturday night
banquet!
3) Amateur Aerobatics Contest To kick off the Friday Night Ramp
Party/BBQ we'll be having an aerobatics contest open to all qualified
pilots. You'll fly a basic program and be judged by a group of your
peers. We expect the judging to be fully subjective and political as
Olympic Ice Skating, bribes will be accepted.
4) CAS Demo We had such a blast doing this down in the desert that we
are hoping to put on a demo Friday night as well. This will be
dependent on our active duty guys being able to get the time off to
play the GFAC role, but the comms are interesting, and this will be a
fun primer for our Desert Thunder III in the Fall.
Aside from all this will be our usual FAST formation clinic, Tac Form
introduction and instruction, Lead Pilot Seminar, and safety and
maintenance discussions.
More to come....
Cheers,
Barry and the ARS staff
