    Status: offline     		Looking forward to it. It was awesome last year!!! For those of you that haven't flown at Floyd Bennet, I'm not sure of the exact measurements, but the runway is HUGE. I love Sal and Marks plans for this event, & where they are trying to take it in future years. I will make it both days for sure, even if it takes a sick call to work
    Hmmmm, What do you guys like to see at these events? I love the idea of being able to ship my jet & get fuel, & a tent on site!!!
    I know Sal was thinking of providing a secure place to store your plane overnight, so you can assemble it Sat morning & not have to disassemble it until Sun night.
    What else???

    Status: offline     		Thanks Brickyard

    Sal, myself and the event staff will be having a series of meetings up to the event and rehearsals to make sure everyone knows their role to make this safe and enjoyable for everyone.

    The runway if memory serves me rights is 1500 x 800.

    I added a picture above so you guys can get an idea what kind of field we are dealing with here. Your flying off of a real runway.




    I would please ask those that attended this event please communicate this to other jet enthusiasts at the events you guys attend. I am unfortunately unable to attend them all especially the ones that are outside of the Metro area. CT,PA,NJ.

    It is our plan to make this one of the staple events for the North East on one of the best fields you can find.

    Status: offline     		I have always wanted to attend this event. Due to personal commetments I just couldn't in the past. Three years ago my wife attended a weekend meeting in Manhattan and I had the weekend to myself and went for a drive to the PARCS flying site at Floyd Bennet field. What a great place to fly at. Vinny was there and had me able to walk through the pit area and hang out with the other guys that were there on both days. Didn't think bringing a jet into Manhattan was an option so I didn't bring anything to fly; boy was that a mistake! I have family in town during the Fentress event weekend this year and my family has aggreed that since I am giving up that weekend that I can attend the Big Apple Rally this year, Can't wait to see all of the guys again and hangout and due come flying at that great site. See some of you at Toldeo next weekend.

    Status: online     		The gang from the Boston area will be attending this year .... we are looking forward to it !

    Do you think people will be overnighting in RV's at the site ?   We would like to be able to leave our small utility/cargo trailers there overnight but would only want to do that if people were going to be there overnight (most of the hotels in that area barely have enough spaces for cars .... and have no room for small trailers).   

    Also, could you provide more info on the tent rentals.

    Thank you.   Bob

    Hey Bob -

    We do have guys that camp out overnight so I am pretty sure that no one will mess with your equipment. I will talk with Sal and we will try to arrange some sort of security.  I will keep you updated.

    Also, please forward to us any details you have on the tent rentals.

    Thanks.     Bob

    Status: offline     		Hey Bob -

    I spoke to Sal since he is looking into tent rentals. The cost of the tent is $150.00 per pilot. We need atleast 35 pilots to rent space in the tent in order for us to move forward with it. Since a lot of guys aren't looking at the thread I am not sure they are aware. I willl have more info once I speak to Sal.

    Status: offline     		Hey guys have a great time next weekend without me once again. I just got two invites to fly my jet at events back here in MD on the same weekend (my wife penciled in the wrong dates on the calander and for some reason) until today I thought  this years  NY event was this weekend. One at a scale event and the other is  from Lee Rightler at  his field in Hardford County where thay are renaming it Robert Hayes field . Robert and I were old firends and he passed away 1.5 years ago to cancer that moved very quickly just after the Liberty bell rally that year.

    Status: offline     		Thanks Flyinjets - We are trying our bests. I definitely want to thank all the past CDs who have made the rally a event that guys love coming to. My job is now to build on their past success and get more guys to attend.

    Just the idea of flying off a runway where some of the pioneers of aviation flew off of is reason alone to attend. History..

    For those that aren't aware here is a link.
