BACFest 2024

If you need road assistance, let me know as we might use the same route. I can even offer the back seat on my motorcycle ;-)
Overnight for me in Klamath Falls tonight heading to Crater Lake tomorrow before I will reach Bend tomorrow.

You are on my route, but I am way behind you. I should see Klamath about 1pm tomorrow. Give or take a bit.

I will enter the holding around Crater Lake so that we can shoot the final approach in close formation

Robin and I are in Bend now. We’re going to the Newberry Volcano caldera in the morning and expect to be back at the Waypoint by mid afternoon.

Jack, we might run into each other, the caldera is also on my route today. Look out for a man in black (no, it's not Johnny Cash) on a black Harley, that's probably me.
CU soon!

For all the inbound pilots arriving at KBDN, a couple pointers.
KBDN is the 3rd busiest airport in Oregon! Third to PDX and Hillsboro. We have considerable student pilot traffic, both fixed wing and helicopter. KBDN has anyone 1 runway, 34/16. The helicopter traffic stays on the East side of the airport and fixed wing on the West. This means that using Rwy 16 requires right hand traffic, Rwy 34 uses a left hand pattern. There are occasional instances when you are turning base to final at the same time a helicopter is doing the same so make sure you keep your eyes outside the airplane, and do not overshoot your base leg and report your position throughout the traffic pattern.
You will turn off the runway to the West and head towards the FBO.... keep a watch for a true Beech Nut riding an electric scooter who will escort you to your parking spot!

Not the way I wanted to arrive at BACFest 2024, but “We’re Here”! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

There are a lot worse ways to arrive! I hope all goes well and everyone has a great time at BACFest the year!
