Default ROUTE 66 JETS


<h2 style="margin: 12pt 0in 3pt"><span mt="" bodoni="" style="font-family: ">The Route 66 RC Club (70) Members are again hosting the Route 66 Jets Event at the <st1lace w:st="on"><st1lacename w:st="on">Litchfield</st1lacename> <st1lacename w:st="on">Illinois</st1lacename> <st1lacename w:st="on">Municipal</st1lacename> <st1lacetype w:st="on">Airport</st1lacetype></st1lace> September 8-12, 2010.
This facility is rather unique because it has two nonintersecting runways one of them being, with FAA approval, closed to general aviation for the duration of the event. The only thing that prevents you from flying every day and all day is yourself and Mother Nature as the North/South Runway &amp; Air Space is ours for the five days. There are no planned interruptions to you flying when you want and as often as you like!

We will be setting up on Friday September 3rd in preparation for the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">US</st1lace></st1:country-region> Team Jet World Master Qualifier commencing on Saturday September 4<sup>th</sup>. You are welcome to arrive anytime to enjoy/help with the Qualifier.<o></o>

David just great to have you and yours along with a hawg back with R66.
That's4 confirmed hawgs (David Dennison, Ron Ballard, Joe Grice &amp;jet adic) along with 4 more suspects (Jim Jenson, Eric Clapp, Bob levine &amp; Chuck Storrie). You may want to make some prompting calls!
Oh yea go ahead and print out the Pre-Reg and Smail as it saves you 10 bucks and give us an idea of how many to plan on.

Good luck and good flying at your annual Minnesota Jet Rally: www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9346839/anchors_9346839/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9346839
It will be on our schedule when we are relieved of the JWM efforts.

Thanks Dennis, say do you want to do the Swap Shop again?

It seemed to be OK and not interfere with flying.....

We are certainly going to do the September 11 Ceremony again.

These were 2 new items to the R66 Club Annual not to mention the 4 PERFECTdays from day light til dark
