As has been tradition we will be hosting a dinner in the tent on the grounds of KLAL on Thursday April 16th from 5 pm till the food and people are gone. Wednesday night is the spectacular night airshow which this year will combine the afternoon airshow and the night airshow into one 4 hour event. The location of our tent provides an excellent view of the airshow and also some fun times with fellow members and new people to the event. Please RSVP as soon as possible. I will have some new BAC swag and if you want to help out in the tent I can provide a day pass and possible parking but prior arrangements must be made. I would like to invite you to fly in and park at the tent to display your aircraft if you would like to. I need to know ahead of time and will send out specific instructions to anyone interested.
