Jets over Iroquois - Canada July 4th weekend 2015
Are you ready to run to the border to join in on the fun this summer?
This is a brand new event located just across the US Border at NY State (see map) - The airport has a 2000ft paved runway
RV camping and local hotels that are filling up fast
Come up and help us celebrate Canada Day on July 1st in nearby Ottawa our nations capital and then
stay for your own Independence Day by flying your Jets.
This event is open to both EDF and Turbines
So if you can't make it too JOK you may be closer to us up here in Canada
PS: EDF's are very welcomed - they should be of quality size/performance that can maintain the circuit with the other Turbines (ie example FG Habu 32 80mm and or 90mm/up fans - The smaller jets also welcome if enough will slot you your own time slots or saved for after hours

Ken,
Am most interested in attending your event and it fits well within my schedule. It appears that the travel time is about 3 hours, plus whatever delays in border crossing. I'll need to renew my US passport but there's plenty of time for that. Kindly PM me with suggested lodging and any other useful info. Looking forward to this brand new jet event in the northeast.

Hi Art
The site is on the town's main park/airport and the park has a 65 unit RV campsite on the far left side - Last I heard there is still about 28 avail and going fast - The campsite units have both water/elect hookups - A main building with washrooms/showers
There is a very nice modern place just 10min drive from Iroquois in Morrisburg called the McIntosh Inn - They gave us a group rate of 99$ cdn a night - Tell them your there for Jets over Iroquois - But again rooms are going fast as that weekend has 2 wedding etc already booked.
you can find almost all the local accomodations under the local municipality web site www.southdundas.com

Hi Art
Nice to hear from NY State - Is there any regular Jet events that you attend located in your neck of the woods?

Ken,
EDF's are permitted but must takeoff and land on our 2800' x 60' paved runway-no bungee or hand launches.
Reaction 54 is a great 1st jet and several of them have participated in our 2013 and 2014 events. You'll need your MAAC Turbine Operators Certificate to fly solo, otherwise Buddy Box OK.
I've booked my accommodations at the McIntosh Inn for Fri /Sat nights. Looking forward to it.

Hi Guys
Wow got a phone call from a pilot last night from Jeff L of Columbia CT USA saying he's excited about coming back to Canada to fly jets! - A long time and good friend of Jeff Daly he said he hadn't been up here since the old days of the Belleville
Jeff L will be flying a Snowbird
I told him make sure you come early and see Ottawa for Canada Day - Looks like a good number have taken advantage of the group 99$ rate and have booked into the McIntosh Country Inn. Can't say enough about booking early there
Iam so thrilled that Pilots/Families who had such a fond & wonderful connection with the original Bellville event want to pick it up exactly where the old event left off and re-connect with old flying buds.
PS: Jeff D if ya got an old photo of Jeff L we would all love to see it! - Anyone who's got old shots of Bellevile lets see them
Cheers

Ken,
Yes, Jeff L. and I also spoke together on attending JOI in July. We look forward to flying jets in that cool Canadian air. I know that Jeff L. has some neat photos of his CARF Snowbird and I have to dig thru my gallery for some Belleville shots. I attended, and flew, at 18 of the 20+ jet events at the Bay of Quinte (Belleville) Jet Rally, back in the day. I also authored several articles on the event for RCJI magazine. Great times with good people and hope to revisit them at JOI.

Hi Ken,
I viewed some of Larry's photo gallery and the shots are superb-I'll consider him for inflight shots if he's available. I'll also speak with RCJI at the Toledo Expo to determine if they're interested in an JOI article.
Back when I authored the Belleville articles, there were very few jet rallies held in N. America.
Feel free to contact me directly via PM if you have any questions or concerns on hosting this inaugural event. Also, contact Jeff D. as he represents JPO in eastern CA. Jeff L. is also the CD for N. England Jet Rally held in mid-August. We have many years of cumulative jet event experience to share.

Hi guys
We went down on Saturday May 9th and did a dry run at the Iroquois airport and did some test flying - Jeff Daly fly his BVM Super Bandit and we found it takes up lots of space and has large circuit - He was easily over the St Lawerence river and over the golf course but was very
high over these area's - There is a small public beach at one end and is strictly a NO FLY ZONE - We found Jeff was never over this beach - I on the other hand had a 90mm EDF and found I easily was turning before getting to the Beach so again this worked great!
We have two big thumbs up from the Local South Dundas Mayor and airport manager. I put together a bit of a video to give people an idea of what we got at Iroquois

UPDATE on RV campers and 5thwheels-campers
Leason learned from Saturday is that park field will not support a RVcamper or 5thwheel campers its very spongy and your likely to sink over time on it. The township is very aware of the field conditions from past experience and say the only location for RV stuff is the Camping area on far left side.
You need to contact Admin Assistant Lea Anne Munro (613 652-2506) - There is overflow camping spots and she requires a deposit 1 month before the date of the event

Hi Ken,
My ETA for JOI is Friday noon plus any delays in border crossing or traffic. I'm crossing over at Thousand Islands and proceeding up 401. Other Yank pilots are bushwacking through the Adirondacks and may arrive a bit later. Looking forward to the event and meeting you.
Rgds,
Art ARRO
