Great Lakes Aviators Build Off and Fly-In - Sparta, MI (8D4) - Sat. August 16, 2014

[AVIATOR_]

We will piggyback our fly-in with the local EAA Chapter 704's 2nd Annual - Great Lakes Aviators Build Off and Fly-In. Roland Ashby will be our host.

From Roland:

Fly-In starts at 8:00am EDT with a great breakfast. Then at about 11:00am we will be joined by hundreds of veterans of the 101st Airborne Association to watch a WWII type demonstration jump from a C-46 or C-47. Finally a large trophy will be awarded to the best home built or restored airplane.

Breakfast is $7 and free for Pilots and kids under 8. BAC gathering will be at Roland Ashby's Hangar E-2 which is across from the breakfast and next to where they are selling ice cream.

Due to 101st Airborne Jump Demonstration, we will be unable to have reserved BAC parking.

Just got off the phone with Roland and everything is all set for tomorrow. Who is planning on flying in to Sparta for breakfast?

It was great to see three beech aero club aircraft at Sparta this morning. I even had someone ask, " what is that?" Nice day.
