I am looking like a go as long as the weather on the Sierras holds out. I just made a major flight control upgrade to my experimental and looking forward to flight testing it and flying out for this fly in.

FYI to bay area pilots Obama is flying into SFO on Oct 10 so check for airspace closures.

As for the other saddle, I have looked at that one for a very long time. Betting its a first! You should name it! The 35" cub guys will have a ball up there! Did you see the old rock fence that runs the ridge to the right? Have always wanted more beta about it.

Kevin,
Didn't notice the rock wall, guess I didn't notice all the big rocks prior to landing either so not sayin much..
Going to miss all the fun this year due to a Utah hunt.

Fly safe.

PS. I heard Obama might show up

Looks like it's a go. 5 planes for sure that are going. 2 more are still undecided.
Some of us are planning to get over the Sierra's early Fri.

Hey everyone,

Bryan and Kevin requested that I upload this file so that everyone can access it. It is a file that you can open in Googel Earth that shows the landing sites that they have discovered in the area of the flyin. It is color coded. Green = easy, Blue = intermediate, and Black means hard. Make sure to click on the airplane icon to read their notes for more information on the landing site.

As always, each pilot is responsible for his or her own actions and you use this information at your own risk. Each person should consider their own skill level, level of proficiency, and the ability of their aircraft. It's also up to each pilot to fly over the landing site and make their own assessment and to decide if they can safely operate their aircraft from the landing site.

Here is also some of the same information in a word document.

If you have any questions on the strips, ask Kevin or Bryan.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone and having a great time. Weather is looking perfect!

Cory, thanks for posting this. I don't meant to one-up you but I took the liberty of making it a little more friendly to access.

A Google map: https://www.backcountrypilot.org/high-sierra-map

A non-compressed .kml file that imports more easily into Google Earth or directly into Google Maps: https://www.backcountrypilot.org/resour ... strips.kml

Well thanks for one uping us Zane! If you go off Zanes site make sure you read the file provided to give you the color code.

Green= Easy
Blue = Med
Black = Hard!

Cory, thanks for posting the word document

No problem Zane. Glad you could make it easier for everyone. I try to help when I can, but know there are many with more computer skills than I!

No problem Gary. It has a lot on there, but not all that are on the map.

I already RSVP'd a long time ago. Just reconfirming I will be there! Looking forward to the black diamond tour.

I already RSVP'd a long time ago.

Is there an official place to RSVP?

Please just go to the events section on here and let us know your coming and your good to go. Thanks!

Will there be rebar or ties there? At BM the regular stakes pull out of the sand.

Anyone flying out of the Fresno area? I am flexible on departure times.

No ties...bring em

Come get your T-shirt!

The BCP logo is on the sleeve and more detail on the front. This is the back of this years Grey colored shirt...

We have a new user on BCP, Aviatrix75, who will probably be attending. She is a deaf, so it's a good reminder that the radio isn't the complete solution for traffic avoidance. Keep eyes peeled!

Yay, a female!

Nicole is a great gal and very competent pilot.

I have asked her however to not just arrive unless she has a passenger for radio if she is arriving mid day. She is aware of traffic patterns and the lake bed. As you say Z however, dont always just rely on your radio.

We will have someone on the radio all the time at the lake bed for traffic and advisories.

AKT

Glad to see Aviatrix75 will be joining at times, My Wife which some have met is Deaf and I know they would get along great.

Can't we have it this weekend! Wx is amazing right now!

As long as return weather looks good I will be there with my wife.

Sweet! I had a sister that was deaf and I've been known to bust out a little basic ASL myself from time to time! Unfortunately I'm not planning to make the fly-in but I love the diversity of this group!
