Default Who’s ready for a Jet Fun Fly? Look no more… OCT-TURBO FEST

This is a Jet Flyer's event, no noon time shows, just plenty of all out jet flying.

Thanks Mark, the more the merrier

We hope we can grow this to a full weekend event next year, we wanted to start out easy to see how it goes; however when people see the facility I think they will spread the word!

Of course I'll be there (this is my local 200 miles away from home flying site). This place is so nice that I drive 3 hours each way sometimes twice a week to fly there.

Here are a couple of shots of me at Titusville. This gives you some idea of how big the runway is.

I plan to come on up from Pittsburgh, probably with a couple of other guys. Looks like a nice place to burn some Kero.

Like your Oct-turbofest graphics/logo. Not enough good branding happening with many of the events these days.
Looks like you may have had an actual living breathing graphic designer work on that?
Nice touch!
Looks like an awesome site for an awesome event.

Hello BuschBarber,
We decided not to make this is an AMA sanctioned event as it is just a jet fly fly, not a contest.
We want to have a low key atmosphere where everyone can relax, and have fun.

Thanks
Rich

Is this an AMA sanctioned event?
The only reason to sanction it would be to get it in the back of the magazine, and it's too late for that.
