UPDATE:

We have been approved by the Brewton mayor! The mayor has sent our "package" on to the state of Alabama for review and (hopefully) approval. From the sound of it, approval by the state is pretty much a given.

This is VERY preliminary, but we are tentaively looking at Columbus Day weekend in October, 11-14 Oct, Friday through Monday. From what I currently understand, the field would be available to us starting at noon on Friday, 11 Oct, all day Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday the 14th.

I realize this is kind of close to Super Jet South, but the Navy still impacts us at Brewton. The field is used by the training aircraft from NAS Whiting, and that forces us to look at federal holidays if we want maximum use of the field. So, it was either Columbus Day or Veteran's Day. The problem with Veteran's Day is that cold weather now is a potential problem, and being further north and away from the coast than Holley, the more likely it is to be quite brisk after a cold front.

Again, this is NOT firm yet...just trying to give y'all a heads-up. Once we are officially a "go" and have firm dates, I will post that here. I will also start a new thread specific to the event, and with the new name...just too far away from Pensacola to keep calling it that.

Thanks for your interest,

Sluggo
