Thread: October 14th - 17th Page AZ

October 14th thru the 17th are the dates for Page AZ this year. I'm sure you will see plenty of posts from host Roger Lee in the near future. Hope to see you all at both our May Fly-In at Columbia and then Page in the fall.

Just made my hotel reservations. Can never be too early!! I gave a Power Point presentation to my local EAA group a couple of weeks ago. Many of them said they'd be interested. Maybe we can snare a couple of them? I gave out the information, we'll see...

Roger & Roger --
AGAIN, unable to join you folks, as much as we would like to be there.
It is orchard harvest time....
However, see ya Thursday & Friday at Columbia.

If this is the "OFFICIAL" FD website, why has the Page Flyin been removed from the calendar??????????????

It's on the calendar when I click on calendar and this thread is devoted to it as well so I certainly don't know what you mean about being removed - it comes up plane as day for me??? In the October calendar marked from the 14th to the 17th! Perhaps you're looking at the wrong month or something. It also shows up under "upcoming events" on the bottom of the forum page... If you're having issues or problems with the site you're more then welcome to call me.

Many thanks

Roger

ps - I also don't understand where you getting "officail FD website. This is and always has been the Owners Forum???? The FD website would be www.flightdesign.com and www.flightdesignusa.com. There are additional dealer sites as well... Hope that helps.

Ahh, Mr Lee is coming back, that is good !

The sooner the better.
Looks like a sell out crowd. Should be fun.

Thanks

PS...
This is for all coming to Page, Az in a few weeks. We will stop in Monument Valley for breakfast. They have cables on the ground to tie to, but no chains or ropes to attach to your wings. I'm not sure how Bryce Canyon airport is set up. I think they do have tiedowns.

If you are going to stop with us in Monument Valley bring 3 pieces of rope to tie yourself down to their cables.

Howdy All,

Bring your cameras!!

Here are the GPS coordinates for our different area flights. These aren't etched in stone and you don't have to fly these if you don't want to, but they will keep you from getting lost and take you right over the major flight paths we will more or less follow. This year we will break up in groups and then each group will take a different flight each morning. This will keep us from having 30-40 aircraft going into the same areas each flight. We will discuss this further at the Thursday evening meal. We have the restaurant all to ourselves again and dinners catered. Breakfast is either the free one at the hotel, out at the local restaurants or during one of your flights at the local airport restaurant as will lunch.

The flights below are round trip in a large circle and they can be shortened by quite a bit if you want to shorten the distance.

General info:

Page, AZ Airport (KPGA) Runway 15-33 Freq. 122.8

FBO: Classic @ 122.85 Kris 928-645-5356

Chat Freq. we can use for our own group and for separation of each flight group while in different areas. These will be assigned each night at dinner for the following day’s group flights.
123.45, 127.47, 127.45, 127.5, ect…

Grand Canyon Flight
Grand Canyon (see Grand Canyon VFR map) KPGA round trip is 193 miles 1.7 hrs.
Route: KPGA south through Marble Canyon (monitor 120.05) climbing to 10.5K to enter Zuni Corridor @ N36 17.38 / W111 51.04 to exit @ N35 58.33 / W111 53.39. Turn west along south canyon rim climbing to 11.5K to Fossil Corridor. Switch and monitor 127.05. Turn north and enter Fossil Corridor at 11.5K @ N36 16.43 / W112 34.97. Exit Fossil Corridor @ N36 22.87 / W112.18.70 switch back to 120.05. Proceed back to KPGA or tour along the Vermillion Cliff area then back to Page.

Note* You aren’t really that high off the rim as it is approximately 7500’ elevation.

Monument Valley Flight
Monument Valley Airport (UT25) Runway 16-34 You only land on 16 and take off on 34 Freq. 122.9 Round trip approx. 185 miles 2 hrs. There is a restaurant and we will have breakfast there on Friday and Saturday flights. A van will be available to take us up the hill or if you prefer a nice morning walk have at it.

KPGA to approx. N37 01.003 / W110 12.020 to Mexican Hat @ N37 09.016 / W109 51.541, then west to Lake Powell @ N37 17.535 / W 110 23.171 then south to KPGA

This will give you only a general route and/or you can and probably will zig zag around Monument Valley to take in all the sites. Flight altitude is up to you so long as you don’t run into a rock wall. (Only once J)

Bryce & Zion National Park Flight
Bryce Airport (BCE) Freq. 122.8 Runway 03-21 272 miles 2.5 hrs.

KPGA to BCE general area around the canyon sites then southwest to Zion Park general area @ N37 14.847 / W113 05.115. You can head back to KPGA at this point or head into St. George Airport (SGU) Runway 16-34 Freq. 122.8 for breakfast then back to KPGA. We are going to have breakfast at Bryce Canyon Ruby’s Inn on Friday and Saturday.

Lake Powell Flight
Follow Lake Powell up the channel northeast bound. The channel will then end and turn to the west a few miles then takes up another large channel and back south into KPGA. You can fly very low or high and it’s up to you. I like low through the channel. There are some altitude, i.e. even and odds, they suggest you fly to stay with the flow with possible other traffic. I will have that info before we get to the Fly-In and have our pilot briefings. “Rainbow Bridge” scenic sight GPS coordinates N37 04.37.39 / W110 57.53.06


The Antelope Canyon ground jeep tour will be available again and the tour of the dam. If you haven’t been then you should go.

Dinner Thursday night at the Ranch House grill at 1700 hrs. We will have a little social hour before the meal. This is only 2 blocks away up the street. Dinner is there all three nights as it is a little hard to find a table for 80 at most restaurants. The restaurant is closed and only open to us. It is all inclusive, drinks, salad, two entree meal plus sides and desert. Seconds are good, too. Bring your own alcohol if you want wine or beer. All other drinks they supply. This is when we will decide on our daily flight's and times out.

'Was a wonderful Fly-in... good people, great location, perfect weather! About 27 planes, including a Rem*s and Allegro. CT flyers from Germany and Canada, too.
