Status: offline 		Guys,

Just a quick reminder that KingCats and Bobcats are DEFINITELY welcome on our grass field. Grass heals fast in PA!! And we will also have space in our hangar for overnight storage of assembled jets......

The grass has been impact rolled twice this year with a six ton vibratory impact roller and is cut very short...... We'll be catching the grass for this event as well.

Please spread the word!!

Rick

Status: offline 		I was taking a look at the flying site and wonder whats the clubs main motivation for being 2.4GHZ only??? I know it welcomes all frequencies at rallies, but on a normal day I am interested to hear the rational.

Status: offline 		That's correct the Tri County Wingsnappers field is 1.9 miles away. at times you can hear and see the planes from one field to the other. The Farview field is 55 acers and was a golf coures, the site is to good to pass up. It's are feeling that in 2 years there will be only 2.4 used and not a issue.

actually this event is sponsored by both clubs so the Tri County Wingsnappers Club will be shut down for the duration of the event to allow ALL frequencies to be used. Farview is strictly 2.4, however MOST events will allow all frequencies.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. I got in contact with Channel 69 News and spoke to reporter Melissa Batulis and they are glad to come out and cover the event. She said she herself would like to come out and see the event and theres a possibility that they will be interviewing pilots. Their coverage extends from the Lehigh Valley all the way to Eastern New Jersey and Berks County so we will definitely attract the public interest. I also have radio DJ's Nick Harris from Y102 and Jo Painter from WEEU mentioning the event on the air and they put the event on their websites calendars. Channel 69 News will also be putting the event on their website calendars too. I am working on contacting the Reading Eagle to put a spot on their "WEEKEND" edition insert and hopefully that will bring more public awareness.
