The Heavy Metal Squadron of the FLORIDA BAR-STORMERS will be attending in full farce.
After taking the eye of Both Frances and Jeanne we are ready for some fun. Are there any Bars left standing near Lake Wales? We are prepared to take fun to the next level this year at Jetaid!

Plenty of Jet-A available. T-Oil may be a problem. Won't know until then. There is another airport within about 10 miles where plenty of oil will be available if unavailable at LW.

RE: FIJR / Lake Wales - It's time for some fun!!!
Hello, Im interested in attending florida jets.. but the map supplied on website is kinda hard to read/understand..

Dial up Mapquest and take a look from your area. There are several routs, but going to Lakeland isn't a very good one. Getting on 17 to Bartow, and then east to Lake Wales is probably best.

Question: do people bring their jets to show off even though they have no plans on flying at the event? Does everyone just setup tents and stuff by the runway with their jets on display? So I'll I need is a pocket full of money!
thanks, Razor

We have a section for all RV's, campers etc just behind the flightline.
There is not room on the flight-line. Same procedure as in past years.

RE: FIJR / Lake Wales - Lodging Update
For some reason I cant get the pre registration to pop up on my computer. Are they accepting pre registration? What is the registration costs?

Here is a link to the pilot reg form. It's in a PDF Format.

I would not reccommend the Super 8. I am not sure it's still there. Lots of damage from the storm.

All the "additional" hotels seem to be sold out for Friday and Saturday...apparently some other big event going on in the area. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Craig (I know, I know...I should have booked earlier)
