Default Desert Jet Storm has Expanded

Due to the growing popularity of Desert Jet Storm we have expanded our northern pit area dramatically. Paving and striping was completed this morning. Planning is well in progress and our next endeavor is to enlarge our Flightline Kitchen as to eliminate the lines we've experienced the past couple of years. The 2013 dates for Desert Jet Storm remain February 4-10. Plan on joining us for a winter week in the SUN........don't join us right now, as it's 112F here today.

Chris,

It's nice to see the expansion! What was your pilot registration count this year, and what do you expect it to be next year?

One of the best events out there. I have been to the last 4 and they just keep getting better and better. What a great group of guys (and gals!). Won't miss one!! Thanks to Terry and Chris and the rest of the group out there.
It's on the calender!!

George,

We had 62 pilots (and ran out of pit space) last year and nearly 5000 spectators over the week. With our expansion we are hoping for at least 80 pilots in 2013. Please bring your "wagon" to the Valley of the Sun". You'll not be disappointed.

Are the pilots that take spectators on pit tours gonna get a pay raise because of the expanded pits. I really enjoyed doing that. I'll be back next year for sure

Believe me Mike, it was worth the trip. The only problem I had was on the way home, I got caught in an ice storm in Pecos TX pulling Scott's trailer. Had to spend a extra night in a hotel.

Mike, and you too can become a tour guide and receive all the bennies that come with it. We will discuss further at Mt. Pleasant next week.

You did, your bringing the Iron City Lite for Kent[8D]. We better take this conversation over to the Mt. Pleasant thread.
