 |
|
**NOTE: DUE TO AN EMAIL SENDING ERROR, THE DEADLINE FOR ADVANCED
REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO TUESDAY, APRIL 18TH**
Dear fellow Red Star Aviators:
I know many of you are busy getting your tax returns together and
otherwise toiling in the grind of life. If you anything like me you
have to schedule your fun...and I can't think of a better time to
schedule it than May 3-7... 
The advanced registration deadline is *Tuesday*! Sign up now for ARS V
and save yourself 10% over the full rate registration fees. Full
registration fees will now begin this Tuesday, April 18th, (previously
was Sunday, April 16th). Register now at www.allredstar.com!
FLYING EVENTS
In addition to all the formation and tactical formation training you
get at ARS, 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) 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.
GROUND EVENTS
1) Lead Pilot Seminar - Are you a FAST lead pilot or planning to be?
Then this is a don't miss presentation for you! The RPA's LPS sets the
standard in the warbird world for giving lead and aspiring lead pilots
all the tools you'll need to be a more effective lead pilot.
2) Poker Night - Thursday evening we'll fire up the aviation videos
as a backdrop for our first Poker Night. The ARS staff will deal you
the chance to win prizes such as $20 off your fuel bill, RPA and ARS
merchandise, and more....
3) Cinco de Mayo Ramp Party - Friday night is the annual Ramp
Party/BBQ. Impromptu formation fly-bys, a CAS demo, an upscale Taco
Bar, the ARS girls blending margaritas and a few surprises promise
another memorable Friday night...
4) Saturday Awards Banquet - A fine meal, a few awards, and one of
the best presentations in all of aviation are on tap. Brian Shul,
SR-71 pilot and author will cap off a great evening with a riveting
presentation about flying the world's fastest air breathing jet, the
SR-71 Blackbird. Sharing the world's largest private collection of
Blackbird photos, Brian takes you behind the scenes of the plane that
played a major role in winning the Cold War - a victory we enjoy every
time we mount our Red Star steeds.
HOTEL
Also, if you have not made hotel reservations, now is the time as our
block of rooms at the Best Western are filling up fast! 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.
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.
SCHEDULE AND POSTER
The ARS V daily schedule and new poster is now available for download
on the "Invitation" page of the web site.
Again, register now and save on the gas money! We hope you'll join us
and we look forward to seeing you for ARS V!
Cheers,
Barry and the ARS staff

Barry,
What is the difference between full registration and day only registration? I am planning on flying back to Tehachapi most nights. Which should I sign up for? Also, I read mention of a campground. Is this a place where I can pitch a tent for the nights I do want to stay?
