Fly-In to Corona moved to June 22

  Once again, CANCEL the CORONA FLY-IN. Flying to Corona seems to be jinxed.

   Due to many fires, smoke reducing visibility in some areas, a TFR East of CRQ stretching to the mountains and many fire-fighting civilian and military aircraft in the area, a number of pilots feel uncomfortable making a Fly-In.

  We’ll do the Fly-In to Corona on June 22. Note, it will be the fourth Sunday of June, versus the third Sunday, which is on Father’s Day.

Best of clear skies and tail winds.

Next Fly-In will be to Corona on Sun, Apr 27th

There was a goof and we mistakenly scheduled this for Easter Sunday.
The new date is April 27th.


Tony's Captain's Log - 3/16/2014

Hi Guys,

  The Fly-In to Riverside on Sun, Mar 16 was done on a CAVU. It was supposed to be a hot day, but we left RAL around noon before the forecasted 90+ heatstarted.

  Five people in three planes made this one.

  From SDM Dennis came in his RV3 and from MYF John & Tracy flew in a 172 RG as well as Jim & Tony in a C337.

  We ate in the patio of D & D Café and did the usual hangar flying.

  Next Fly-In will be to Corona on Sun, Apr 20. And yes, they've finally opened a new restaurant there... the Corona Airport Café.

  My cell will be on until around 0945 lift off for any last minute changes.

  Best of clear skies and tail winds.

Tony's Captain's Log - Next is Riverside on 3/16

Hi Guys,

  Great weather for the Hesperia Fly-In on Sun, Feb 16. After a couple months of cancelling that flight we finally made it there.

  Five people in three planes made this one. Flying out of SDM was Dennis in a RV3, from SEE came Kurt and Denny in a A36 and from MYF came Jim & Tony in a C337.

  We couldn't ask for better WX, but the winds at Hesperia were a little squirrely and made us work a bit.

  We had a good time doing the a long "hangar flying" session at the Mile High Café.

  Received a couple suggestions for Riverside (RAL) next time.

  So next Fly-In will be Riverside (RAL) on Sun, Mar 16th.

  Hope to see you all at RAL's D & D Café.

  My cell will be on until around 0945 lift off for any last minute changes.

  Best of clear skies and tail winds.
