St John Fly-In 2003

---

All those who have attended our previous St John Fly-Ins know what a great site this is. For those of you who haven't been to one, Welcome!

This is our annual fundraiser and we truly appreciate your participation.  Let’s see how far we can fly! The site record is just under 100 miles thanks to Todd Robinson, Rich Sauer and current leader Vince Endter…all at  90+ miles!! We haven’t established a duration record yet so get up and stay up!

There will be the usual competitions - probably an open XC on the Saturday, a defined task on Sunday, and a spot landing competition in the Fout’s LZ. Food and soft drinks will be provided Sunday afternoon out at East Park Reservoir. If you have special requirements for food we will try to accommodate you since we will be buying everything on Sunday morning but you may want to bring your own.

There is no charge for the Fly-In. T-shirts will cost $15 and the dinner will also be $15. Glass containers are prohibited at East Park Reservoir so be sure to bring cups to transfer your beerverages into. Keeping the glass bottles in the cooler is probably still against the rules so be forewarned.

Paragliders will be launching from Potato Hill and Hang Gliders from St. John Mtn. The main launch on St. John has been substantially improved from a couple of years ago, as you may remember, thanks to the help of club members, friends and the Fout’s Youth Facility residents and employees.

The Pilot’s Meeting will be at 10am, Saturday at the Fout’s (Potato Hill) LZ. Due to the LZ situation in Stonyford we STRONGLY advise against flying out to the town. Pilot’s are asked to either fly north or stay in the St. John /Potato Hill area to land at the Fout’s LZ and nail the spot!!

HG Pilots need to be Hang 4 rated or Hang 3 with mountain flying experience to fly from St. John. PG Pilots will need a P2 sign-off for Potato Hill. 2M Ham radios with licensed operators are essential for safe flying whether going XC or not.

Be sure to drink lots of water before flying and lots of beer afterwards ; ) !

Everyone is responsible for their own retrieval!!
