There are a lot of lights out there that use AA batteries. Keep it simple but if the majority takes part it could produce some great photos!
Little update: We have Shooter himself coming from STOL Magazine. We have a representative coming from the General Aviation News and possibly a rep from AOPA! We could have some really great exposure to backcountry flying this year if all goes well and people stay smart!
I am driving into "DeadCow" on Wednesday night. Please use "DeadCow" as your airport designation, not Babylon as some may think, If that is heard over the radio its the very same thing. Just an FYI.
Many have inquired as to what they can do to help. The single biggest thing aside from wearing your brain all weekend is making certain you pack your own garbage out please.
We will have port poties on site (several) and of course the catered meal on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Donations are always accepted but not expected. The other big thing that I also sent out in the email is the 730 am pilot briefs each morning in the common area. Please do try and make them.
As mentioned as well in my email to all of you registered, I have not put out landing locations and degree of difficulties for the sake of liability. Those that can will and those that want to can ask questions and I will give you a good heads up on cool places to go. Honestly if you have never done, I would do the Lake Tahoe lap for certain! Its beautiful. We have so many place to fly from here its really endless. Just be smart and safe!
Our STOL demo and the DRAG RACE is going to be a huge hit. Both will take place on Saturday starting around 1pm. This will allow those flying in on Saturday to get there before the escapades start.
We will have Unicom (122.725) on the lakebed for current winds and weather conditions on the playa. Please refer to your pilot details for radio freqs once you are 5 miles away from DeadCow when flying out. West of 360/180 is 123.45 and East of 360/180 is 123.40. You may also want to monitor these channels when flying in for the first time.
The lakebed is HUGE! The preferred landing is to the NE but that could change if we have any winds. Right traffic is choice to keep it simple. JUST DO NOT FLY OVER CAMPERS!!!
Any questions please dont hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to seeing you!
