Chris, I trust you will be there

Here is a photo taken yesterday by (Flyaway), you can see the runway behind me, this place is huge!

p.s. with the price of AV Gas this place is like a deserted island, there was only one full scale take off and landing all yesterday afternoon, perfect for model flying

Sorry Rich, I was just looking at the Avatar and thought it was Jack.
I'm planning on coming out and am looking forward to seeing the field, I've heard nothing but good things.

For those of you that asked in PM’s here is some additional info, sorry you couldn’t read the Flyer that was posted in post #1

Hotels Within 5 miles:

Comfort Inn
511 W Central Ave
Titusville, PA 16354
(814) 827-0041

Caboose Motel
407 S Perry St
Titusville, PA 16354
(814) 827-5730

The Caboose Motel is unique as the rooms are actually old railroad caboose’s that have been refurbished.

Camping is encouraged; there is a brand new shower in the airport administration building along with toilet facilities. There is a central camp fire pit for sitting around and shooting the B.S.

Jet A is available at the pump all day, everyday, last known price was $5.26 / Gal (subject to change)[X(]

Huge hanger storage with power for overnight storage and charging... what else can I say...this facility is awesome.

So far the Response has been great. The place is one of the better spots in the country for a Jet Event. If you used to attend the Canadian event in Ontario, this is a good alternative. Feel free to Post that you are comming or would even like to come. We are set up to accomodate a ton of participants. Ducted fans and electrics are welcome. The flight line boss will be instructed not to have small powered electics flying in the same airspace as the tubines. Yes, all are welcome, but we will use are heads to make sure that we do it safely. A turbine waiver is required for turbine fliers only. We will not shut down the runway for a "Noon time show". We do however, ask for an afternoon timeout for planes to be brought out on the runway for Pics and spectator interactions.
After event hours, there is an RC field for grass field flying, AMA will be required. Lots of room for camping and flight line tents. Vendors can set up as big a tents as they want at no charge. The area also has lots of tourism for wives that may not wnat to spend two days or more at the field.... ( go figure)
If you need a waiver flight, we are there to accomodate, please call beforehand so we can prep you for it. If you have any other types of non-turbine aircraft that need a large paved surface to fly or plenty of open space, please feel free to call me for arrangements. An area for Scale Heli's can also be available. THIS IS A BIG FIELD! Call Me!
NEWS.. NEWS ... Bob Wilcox at JET CAT USA has agreed to be a Sponcer. Thanks BOB! We will be welcoming other sponcers for Pilot gifts and donations to the event.

A question came up last year about landing full scale for visitors to the show...

ORIGINAL: RC_MAN

I would like to fly in next year. Can I fly into this airport with my Cessna when the jet event is ON. If not what was the cut off?

Thanks

Peter


The answer is we would like all full scale on the ground prior to 10:00AM; however we realize that this may not be possible for everyone so if you want to come please let us know and we will make arrangements, you just have to ask for permission when you about ten miles out.
Airport freq is 122.900 MHz state that you are coming to watch the show and that you will be staying on the ground after arrival
