Hi Dan
Great to hear your coming early. That way we can install the speakers etc. knowing that you will be onsite the whole week. I think our English Jet friend Jonathan Smith is coming Wednesday in his motor home. I met him in Kentucky, great guy.
We are advertising on various blogs that could reach over 20k people. Cone Zone will be here with those great icy lemonades and fresh burgers too.
We will have a couple of vendors too.
Should be a lot of mid winter fun for everyone.

Hi Everyone.
The long term weather forecast is looking wonderful, severe clear skies with warm days and refreshing nights.
Also the NOTAM has been applied for, giving us 1 mile radius and a 800 foot ceiling. Full scale traffic is cleared down to 1000 AGL in our area, that should give us a 200 foot cushion. Actually we have very little overhead traffic.
Also remember that our field is at Sea Level with the actual SL line running thru the runway. That's why jets fly so good down here, the air is nice and thick.
See you all in 2 weeks.

I fly my jets at Coachella all the time. First of all if you have flown there for any length of time you will find that the wind can change direction at times. You can't always go by what the weather forecasts for wind direction. Because of that we get plenty of practice landing from the South and landing from the North. That's what make a good jet pilot. 3 to 8 mph wind for a jet is nothing anyway. If you are worried about late afternoon Sun to the south you just have to adjust your approach to a lower altitude and no big deal. DLF, if you can't land from either direction you probably shouldn't come to the event.
