Bring it on, join the fun!

As of this morning, we’ve only had .25 (one quarter) of an inch of rain from this storm system. The runway is in great shape! Forecast is for great weather this weekend.

Please REFER AND ADHERE to the parking plan...we will be space limited and the entire operation revolves around your cooperation.

Beginning Friday, arrivals using Rwy 13 (grass) tune to 123.42. Left hand pattern, DO NOT cross the extended centerline of 17.

Rwy 17 is right pattern using unicom 122.8.

ALL aircraft, 122.9 upon landing for instructions.

BRING YOUR TIE-DOWNS.

Re: Bring it on, join the fun! TX STOL Roundup

I know the grass runway well, having camped there for a couple previous events. But I was curious, why does the day parking on the paved taxiway switch for a little bit? Conditions on the east edge are inconsistent or something?

That one section drops off and we don't want to run the risk of an airplane rolling backwards into a depression.

That's a bummer. Was looking forward to having your Broussard compete in the first even Super Heavy Touring class. Hope all is well.

I admit our mobile compatability really needs some TLC. Tapatalk is certainly the path of least resistance if you don't mind uploading over and over, but I'm growing a little weary of some of their recent changes to the service.

Anyway, I justify uploaded and posted this pic with mobile Safari on my iPhone 6. It's not slick but it's exactly how you'd do it on your computer.

Re: Bring it on, join the fun! TX STOL Roundup

Hey, Phil,

A shout out to you and best wishes to you and your event. From the looks of what you've done so far, I won't be at all surprised to see this become one of the premier fly in events in the country.

Have fun and enjoy!

I hope so Evan, would like to meet in person finally. And Zane, the picture you posted doesn't show up in Tapatalk, at least not for me, and I have no idea how to post a picture with this app.

Maybe you can just write a Coldfusion script to automate it. [emoji48][emoji41][emoji12]
