"First in Flight" Jet Rally May 24-28 2017
The “First in Flight” Jet Rally is just a short time away. This year's event will take place May 24, through the 28th. Preparations are in the works already to make this the best one yet. We’re just a little over three months away from doing it all again! We’ve already met with the city of Wilson and the Wilson Industrial Air Center and I can tell you all they are very excited about getting you guys back to put on the awesome show you have in the past. Wilson is without a doubt one of the best venues in the country to fly at. Add to that a 4500’ X 150” Runway, large hanger for overnight storage, great camping facility right at the airport, shopping, hotels, restaurants and much more within 5 minutes of the airport and you have one great event! Better yet, it’s just 3 short miles off interstate I-95 !!!! Last year’s event saw over 130 pilots from all around and we’re looking to top that again this year.
● Extended flying Times! Beginning at 7:00 AM and running until 7:30 PM. We just need to leave enough daylight for crews to re-open the runways and remove X’s. These hours should provide enough time for everyone to get in as much flying as their thumbs can handle!
We’re looking forward to seeing all of you guys again and hope to see many more new faces at this year’s event. If you haven’t had the chance to fly with us at First In Flight, mark your calendars and get on down the North Carolina for 5 days of fun! See you there.
The pilots have spoken, and we listened!
No Bleachers will located inside the main pits this year. This will leave the whole pit row open to display models and park your extra planes. That's a 75' wide area of open space all down through the pits! This also provides a very easy access for all pilots to enter and exit the start up area with their models. Spectator bleachers will again be located on the north side of the event, providing them an unobstructed view of the whole event.
More Awards! We're adding several awards to this years event.
As in years past, your Saturday Night Banquet, and your event T-Shirt will be included with your pilots registration fee! No extra fees to deal with. At the request of many, we will have extra event shirts on hand for sale this year should you want extras.
More event info to come, so check back often. !!!!!! So mark your calendars now. It's gonna be a great one!!!
