High Performance Aircraft Training and “Napa” Fly In

September 21 to 23, 2007

 

You are invited to the third annual Napa/Nut Tree Lancair Fly In and HPAT  training weekend. This year, initial/recurrent training and ground school will be offered at the Nut Tree Vacaville (KVCB) airport in beautiful Solano County. We have chosen Nut Tree airport for several reasons: new ramp, cheaper fuel, extended runway (now 4700’), and little chance of fog.

 

The weekend will consist of a no host welcome dinner on Friday night. Saturday will be the HPAT Lancair ground school. Saturday night will be a hosted dinner at the Gainza residence in Green Valley, half way between Napa and Vacaville. Sunday Keith Thomassen will offer a free one hour “Utilization of your GPS” seminar at 10 a.m. HPAT is considering offering a half day Chelton course and a half day turbine pilot ground school if there is interest. A wine tour Friday afternoon is available for anyone arriving before noon on Friday. Other non aviation amusements in Vacaville include a new amusement park and a large outlet mall complex.

 

HPAT flight training will also be scheduled for those in need of recurrent certification. If you don’t need the training, you are still welcome for the weekend, more time to tour the beautiful wine country or hit the fruit stands in the Suisun Valley.

 

Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting some new ones! If you would like a more detailed agenda as well as hotel suggestions, and hangar and car rental information, please email Sandy Gainza.
