Friends,
Come to the Pecan
Plantation (0TX1) Spring Fly-In next weekend and enjoy the fly-in. No
formal Lancair meeting but maybe we could all head down toward the hamburger
lunch around 11:30.
Driving? Last
fall the main gate still required visitor calls on those driving into
Pecan. If you plan to drive please let me know and I'll have Kim call the
main gate and bounce you drive in directions.
Flyers:
I'd strongly recommend trying to be on the ground by about 9:30 just to minimize
the traffic congestion. Freq: 123.05 All traffic is LEFT. Our
preferred runway is usually 18 for the fly-in. If using 18 approach the
downwind from a good 5 mile southeast to make a gentle 45 deg
downwind entry at 1700 ft. The pattern will have numerous slow
movers. Be prepared to depart and reenter or courteously nudge your way
into the fray. After landing expect to exit the west side of the runway
and taxi north on the grass. You'll then cross the runway at the north
end.
Parking:
I'd love to see
numerous Lancairs parked up by my house. I live at the extreme NE corner
of the field. Exit the North turn button and angle about 45 deg NE and
you'll be looking at two white hangars. Mine is the left one. The
taxi directors will probably get you close depending on
traffic.
Above all, Fly
Safe. If the weather is good there will be over 100
visitors.
Larry
PS: If you
recently joined the SWLBF distribution list, I've copied the LML so you can
confirm that I've got you on my list. That is, you should receive this
email twice.
