Default MONTANA JETS

HELLO GANG

I just looked up the 10 forecast and it looks like mid 80's with little to no chance of rain.
But then again they only get the next day right 50% of the time.
For the guys that have not been here before there will be white 2'x2' signs at each main road that lead to whitefish stage rd.
see you in a week
Kelly

Carole and I are really looking forward to returning to Montana Jets........There probably isn't a more spectacular backdrop to fly in front of.

HEY KEN
GLACIER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT is just over 3 miles for the field.
As you leave the airport turn left on HWY 2 and head north about 3 miles and be looking for a white 2'x2' sign on your left at Hodgson rd. Turn there and keep going until you come to Whitefish Stage rd and make a right. From there you should start to smell Jet A

That's a strange looking road that I think no longer exists, but you are close.
Sent you a PM with directions.

Hey Guys
Yes, the name of the road is K lazy D rd but is more of a driveway than a real county rd as it is on private property.
If you look at a map of the area, you can enter Whitefish stage road from several ways.
Hwy 40 runs between Whitefish and Columbia Falls, That is the very north end of Whitefish Stage rd and the field is only .7 tenths of a mile south of that intersection on the left headed south.
You can also enter Whitefish Stage rd by turning on to Hodgson rd that runs East & West between Hwy 93 and Hwy 2, Just follow the signs. Hodgson rd is only 1/2 mile south of field.

Hello Guys
Weather should be good to go for the event, partly cloudy ThursdaySaturday with little to no chance of rain on any day. Sunday calls for full sun and with highs in the 80's all three days, so as long as the wind works in our favor we should have a great event.

Hi Kelly,

We live right here in Kalispell. I went to the Glacier RC'ers web page, and there is nothing there really. Can you give some specifics as to times on the days that this even is going on? Thanks for your time.

Hey Scott
Sorry for the lack of info on the site, not my dept.
The gate will be open to the public at 9am and we will be flying late into the afternoon if the weather is good Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After lunch time on Sunday several guys start to pack up to get a head start back home.
There will be food on site and only $5.00 per car to get in, the show is free!

Hi guys. I'm all loaded up and will be driving up from Helena on Thursday afternoon. Looks like the weather will be epic. Really looking forward to catching up with friends and meeting some new ones....not to mention getting to fly and enjoy your magnificent venue. Aloha,

Woody.
