"Jets Over the Swamp"
Just a reminder, the 8th annual "Jets Over the Swamp" will take place on May 14th and 15th. The city of Waycross GA. gives the jet modeler's unrestricted use of it's main runway. The NEWLY paved runway is 6000' X 150' with no tree line and a wide open field directly across from the runway. The local club is very excited about this annual jet only event. For more information a flyer can be printed from www.bvmjets.com

Picture's from last year's event shows off the huge runway and wide open spaces.
The F-104 was scratch built by Jerry Keller, it's 113" long and is an excellent flyer!!

This is a great event...big enough to have a variety pilots and airplanes but small enough that there are usually only one or two planes in the air at a time. Fantastic flying site and great support from the organizers! Georgia Jets will be attending again this year.

Johnny, I sent the information to your e-mail. If your going to pick up were you left at Florida Jets, you may want to bring your own tanker for back up.

Last year I went to this Jet Rally and had a great time. There is parking for your motor home right near the Flight Line if it's like last year.
I am suppose to Fly to Amsterdam that weekend I am trying to get ot off so I can attend.
I'll give you a buzz if I'm going so we can hook up.
