I attended last years event. Kelly and Terry are excellent hosts. Expect a good time. If I remember right, it's 2100' feet long, grass.

Hello to All!
Here it is, your official (if somewhat unconventional) invitation to our 3rd Annual Fantasy Field Fly-in hosted by Kelly and Terry Sullivan.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 27th (that's 3 months from today). We have already had so many emails from last year's attendees, that I thought I better get this out there!
We had a great time last year. We had 42 planes fly in,3 or 4 powered parachutes, 2 trikes, 17 vehicles, a big brown motor coach, and a bunch of motorcycles. Boy, did we have fun, and we ate good too! There were awesome side dishes (that I managed to get some of the recipes for!) and some really scrumptious desserts.
We love having this fly-in, because it is more than just aviation: it feels more like a big family barbecue. Young and old, pilots, teachers, doctors, beauticians, engineers, blue collar and more, we all had a great time together and enjoyed the sun, good food, friends and family, flying and fun.
Of course, we will provide the "grill items" and beverages. Please bring a side dish, salad or dessert, whatever your specialty is, we know it will be good!
This year we will be set up with a handicap accessible restroom facility, plus a wash-up station and we are hoping to provide more shade areas for people to relax under. We will still have plenty of off-street parking for those who choose to drive in. And yes, there will be camping sites available, especially for those who want to stay for happy hour, hangar talk and that late night poker game.
Last year we had pilots come in from as far away as British Columbia, Eastern Idaho and the Bay Area. We enjoyed such a wide representation of our aviation community; from certified's to experimentals, ultralights, trikes and 'chutes. I would love to host a balloon (hint-hint), or maybe even another impromptu fly-by (like we had the first year, by a "colorful" group of Navions.)
Also, before we forget.....
We finally received our official approval from the FAA and have an identifier for the field!
As of May 7, 2009, we will be known as FA99, Fantasy Field Airstrip a private field, and will be on the sectional.
The coordinates are:
N 46*35.270'
W 122*51.946'
RUNWAY 10/28
We cannot wait to see you here again.
Until then, wishing you all good flying and smooth air!
Kelly & Terry Sullivan
