Rob,

Hmm... Are you sure you have the right Garden Valley?

The NWS forecast is Mostly Sunny with a high of 87 on Thursday 6/26. DA looks to be the biggest issue. I've never seen winds forecast that far in advance.

I'm the liaison representing BCP for this year's Idaho fly-in gathering.

I've been asked to remind everyone of standard operating procedures at Garden Valley, ID, (U88).

Here's a link to download a PDF of the SOP. http://airlinesoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/U88_sop.pdf

Please take the time to review the link.

Let's keep it safe, and enjoy our fly-in!


On an unrelated note:
I will have an 80gal MOGAS tank on our Air Corps pickup truck (backcountry SAR fuel truck) with a metered pump available for folks who want MOGAS. It'll be available the entire week leading up to the event, as well as the weekend. Cost will be whatever the pump cost is for the ethanol free gas station in town. If folks want to pool cash for each trip into town to re-fill, that'll be fine. The Gadsden Air Corps will gladly accept donations to help cover the expense of running into town and for bringing the truck to the fly-in - but it's certainly not going to be solicited or required. We certainly don't want to be running a commercial fueling operation, and we want to have fun too, so we'll be limiting the hours of operation to only a few aircraft each day.

My contact information leading up to (and during) the event is as follows:

Cory Robin
Aircraft: WILGABEAST
