Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Well guys less then a month away from the Woodland jet meet. We moved the event up earlier in the year to a less congested time as far as jet events go so look forward to seeing all the west coast guys come out for the event. The new field is up and going. The entire property was just mowed. We have a 600' x 55' mat runway with several hundred feet of overruns on either end. Covered pits plus plenty of room for pop ups. Electrical power now in the pit area as well. RV's are welcome for the event however there are no hook ups. Here are a few pictures from last years event as well.

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Jack What about the Fury?

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

One or the other.... I'll decide the day before.

In any case, I'll bring a leafblower for sure :)

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

I'd choose the Electra, would like to get some stick time on one, LOL

Better bring them both Jack. They can hang at my house if you don't want to tear them down between days...

Will you have the A10 ready for the event?

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

I'm working on it, no idea if I'll make it, if I do and feel confident about it, we'll give it a go. hoping to make some good headway tonight and over the weekend.

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

how about your A10????

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

I'll be there! Looking forward to it!

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

why the change in dates from October?

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

My guess is BITW.

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

There were several minor reasons for moving the event, However the major factor was that we had 4 jet events here in California in a 6 week span. Plus you have the Reno Air Races in that time span as well. Just to much going on that time of the year. So we looked at the 2011 calendar of all the west coast jet meets from Phoenix all the way up to Whidby Island and there was a hole here in late spring that did not have anything going on. So we are hoping to jump in and fill that hole and give everyone another event to attend when typically there wasn't one. Will see if it works out and go from there.

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Think we should request a fly by for the jet meet?

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Do you have to ask? :)

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

I am going to try and make this event!!!

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Fantastic news Joe if you can make it!

Looking forward to see you at the event!

Gonzalo

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24

I was thinking about going only Saturday, but after reading this, I guess I'll be calling in sick on Friday

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Well guys only a few days out. The forecast for Thursday - Sunday is mid 80's all the way with a delta breeze coming out of the bay area in the afternoons and evening to keep things nice. Looks to be perfect weather for all 4 days.

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

booked my hotel for the weekend, decided against the toy hauler. see you all Friday.

Well this will be the first WDA jet event I have missed. Went to Mt plesent TX for their event. Nice field and people. 2 frount tires on the RV and other minor problems we are having a good time. The Bandit exploded on a up hill run with a 10 foot flame out of the back. On down wind the fire went out and I landed with no problems. When I pulled the motor out the rear wheel fell out of the motor. I have to do body work on the plane. It wont look good but will fly with my spare Titan. Hope you have a great event. Dan Avilla

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24

Dan, is this the same turbine incident that prompted this thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11122626/tm.htm. ??
Glad to see you got the model back safely and that this happened in a safe area. Do you know the cause?

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Had fun today, a bit windy but nice weather overall. Good times!

RE: Woodland/Davis Ca. Jet Meet June 21-24
 

Had a lot of fun today... 8 flights on the Electra, 4 on the F100 and 2 on the MiG.
Chris, Ken and Gonzalo got to try the Electra too

Thanks a lot to Monty Welch and the rest of the organizers for putting this together. It is as always a lot of work. Too bad the weather kept some pilots away from the event.

Also, thanks a lot to BVM and JetCentral for the generous donations.

Here are a few pics i got of my fleet and my Copilot
