BACFest 2025 will be held September 17 to 21, 2025 at Lock Haven, PA (KLHV). There is free tie down space for planes and self-contained camping in the field on the far side of the runway. A block of 15 queen and 15 double queen rooms are reserved at the Best Western hotel at a rate of $129 plus tax per night (pets $12 more). Phone (570) 748-3297 and ask for "BACFest" rate. A social room is reserved there for us and the general membership meeting on Saturday. A tentative agenda is Thursday local touring and visitation of aviation businesses on the field, possible clinic, a social dinner off site, and socialization later in the evening at the hotel. For Friday a flyout to Williamsport (KIPT) for a tour of Penn State's aviation college and then a tour of Lycoming Engines (Security is strict here and a copy of your photo drivers license must be submitted by Sept. 10.) , then lunch and fly to Penn's Cave (N74) for a tour. Non-fliers will visit Penn State's Arboretum, Palmer Art Museum, etc., lunch and then meet up at Penn's Cave for the tour. The evening is left open for your choice of dinner, bar hopping, and socialization. Saturday will have the general meeting at the hotel, and late afternoon travel to the Piper airplane museum for touring, dinner, awards, and small program, and conclude at the hotel social room. Sunday for those who want something other than the Continental breakfast at the hotel can go to Sentimental Journey's pancake flyin at the airport. Some people have suggested some additional events. If you have suggestions or questions contact me at HEHaag at BAC, phone (814) 553-1205, or email direct at hhaag@verizon.net

Sounds like a great time!

All being well, expect the Redcoats to be there to enjoy a promising programme (vice program). I will try to see if I can offer an option to allow Hershey’s products to be compared with a competitor from England. Too early yet to suggest this is possible, haven’t yet left to go back across the Pond after BACFEST 2024. Look forward to seeing you all in 2025.

Drift: If you do the side trip to Hershey be sure to pay extra for the "Tasting Room". They'll tell you all about how cocoa beans that are grown in different regions of the world affect the taste and you'll get samples of each. Good way to become a chocolate snob.
In fact if anyone does do a side trip to Hershey, Robin & I will probably join you. Also we can tell you how to get to the Lindor Factory Outlet shop in Carlisle, PA. We know it well from many past visits where they remove $100 or more from my Visa account..

Sadly that airport is gone. 58N Reigle field is close by and while it is on the shorter side, it is musketeer capable.
