8th Annual 2014 Page, AZ. Fly-In

CALLING ALL RV's AND ESPECIALLY RV12's


One of the best LSA Fly-In's in the country. All fun and no vendors.
Bring the wife or significant other because this is mostly couples and the gals have as much fun as the guys. One of the most friendly Fly-In's any where.

Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon, Bullfrog Marina Resort...
Make those reservations now. It's time again to work on the Page, AZ Fly-In. We changed a few things last year that added some new fun. We did the river raft trip the day before the actual Fly-In day. It was a great raft trip. I would highly recommend it.
We changed up some of the routes last year which turned out well so we'll do it again.

The Page, AZ. Fly-In date is October 16-19, 2014

We will fly the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley (breakfast), Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon (breakfast), Bullfrog Marina and Resort (breakfast).

I have blocked off 35 rooms. We will be at the Holiday Inn with a rate of $66 (2 queen beds). I hope to have a record number of CT's and LSA aircraft for our Page Fly-In. Just like last year make the reservations early so you don't miss out and the hotel won't hold all 40 rooms forever.

Do not wait this year. Book it now and you can cancel up to 24 hours before Oct. 16th. Get it booked and reserved, then if you have to cancel you can, but if you wait again then you may not be staying with the rest of us and at your own peril for rates and possibly a different hotel. They book darn near the whole town in October.

You must tell them you are with the "CT Group and ask to speak with Courtney" for your reference and the rate of $66 a night. We will arrive Thursday morning, Oct. 16th. and head home Oct. 19th. Sunday or Monday morning. Breakfast is free in the mornings. This hotel has not only a continental breakfast, but a full breakfast.
I talked to the people at the Ranch House Grill and they will cater our evening meals again. We will have evening meals together Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Holiday Inn Express PAGE-LAKE POWELL
Ask for Courtney or Andrea Smith
751 South Navajo Drive, Page, AZ 86040
928-645-9000

We will fly into the Page airport - KPGA.
We are staying with Classic FBO and with our group we should get a 30 cent discount on fuel.
Classic is not the first FBO next to the runway, but the second one behind them.

The Antelope Canyon tour and the Dam tour is open if anyone wants. These are land tours.
You guys are welcome to invite other planes that are not CT's and everyone is welcome. Find some more LSA's.

I will develop GPS coordinates for all our routes and post them so you can enter them in your own GPS. I have a plan to better deal with all our planes for our flights so they are not crowded in the mornings or evenings.


Don't miss this, we always have fun.

p.s.
I would like everyone coming to shoot me an email so I can put together a roster, make name tags and set up call signs like we did last year. If you attended last year and we had your personal info then just say you are coming. If you did not come last year then I would like the email to include: N#, Names of you and co-pilot, cell phone number, city, state.
This is a big help for me to last year to organize our fly outs since we have so many planes and gives old friends and new friends a way to contact each other if need be.

Thanks,
Roger Lee

Something new has been added. (This was lots of fun last year)
A 1/2 day raft trip on Wed. Oct. 15th from Glen Canyon Dam down to Lee's Ferry.
The trip starts in Page (at 1100 hrs) where we will take a shuttle bus down below the dam. We will board a 20-22 person raft and travel down river for about 1.5 hrs. and get out for drinks and photos. Then back in and on down close to Lee's Ferry. Then we turn around a high speed boat back to the start. There is no white water just a nice trip down through the canyons. The cost for all of this is $87 a person. The phone number for the reservations is 928-645-9175.
Don't be left out, I know of at least 6 people that have already signed up so don't be late to make the boat, sign up now. They have a 48 hr. cancellation policy and you get it all back except a $7 charge. This means you will have to arrive in Page Oct. 15th.
BRING YOUR HAT, SUNGLASSES AND SUNSCREEN.

What are you waiting for, let's go, I'm already signed up. ;)
 
Roger, sounds like a fun trip----------Laura and I are heading out next weekend to that area for a week, wish I would have known about your fall get together as we could have done it instead.
 
Hi Mike,

You'll have a good time. If you have any questions about the area give me a call. If you can make the October Fly-In you should.
I'm also retired fire. 7 years now.
Have fun.
 
It's time to make those reservations.

Why are you waiting. You know you are going to come and have some fun. If you can make the smooth water raft trip with us on the 15th. and make those reservations as well.
We need to fill up those reservations at the hotel and let them know how many will be there.

Please don't forget to send Roger your personal info as requested in the first post.

You must refer to this Reservation Number: 70361 and tell them you are with the CT group.

If you are with our group do not just make an individual reservation. They have had some in the past do this and it makes it very difficult.

Something has been added. On Saturday afternoon we will fly up to Cal-Black airport (U96), slightly NE of Page (about 15-20 min) and have a fun bomb drop and spot landing competition. Cal -Black (http://www.airnav.com/airport/U96) is a nice runway, it is long asphalt runway and in a very flat area. So now you have something to practice for. For the low wing people that can't drop a bomb out a window vent we can pair you up with a high wing person so no one will miss out.
 
Hi Nick,

Can you send me your personal info. We don't give it out it is for name badges and the such.

Thanks
 
Starting to get a number of RV'ers coming to the Page, AZ Fly-In. If you have never been you should come. It is nothing like you have experienced at a Fly-In before. make those reservations and send me your personal info as ask for in the original post.

Just a reminder. Bring a friend or two.
Just 4.5 weeks away. More fun and friends than anyone should be allowed to have at any one time.:D

p.s.
Don't forget to send Roger your personal info as it is ask for in the original post.
 
Two more weeks. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We have a number of RV folks coming to the Page, AZ Fly-In this year from all over the country.
For those coming here are some general fly-in rules and some fly out information for all of our flights including some GPS co-ordinates.

I can't seem to post the direct pages here so here is a link with the info. The PDF files are at the bottom of the very first post.

I went to this a couple of years ago. It was great fun. Lots to do, many fly outs set up. The Raft trip was very nice also.
 
I just checked the hotel roster and compared my attendees list with theirs.
These are people on my list that are not on the hotel's list.
Double check your reservations.

RV's coming from coast to coast this year for the Page, AZ Fly-In. Fly-In starts this Thursday, but the raft trip is Wed.

Hope to see you there as there is still time to come.
 
Just returned from the 10th annual Page fly in/out. It was my fourth and the best yet. Last year there were other 12's but this year I was the only one amongst a couple tecnams, Zenith 601 and a bunch of CT's. Probable 20+ airplanes in all.

We had people from Canada, Wa, Tenn, Mi and the furthest was Australia!

Great group and fantastic scenery. Flew to Bryce, Escalante, Monument Valley, Marble Canyon, Grand Canyon and lots of flying up and down lake Powell.

Plans for other destinations already in the works for next year, should start the middle of October again and I plan on being the first to sign up! I look forward to it all year.

So all you RV12's out there come join us next year, details will be on the ctflier.com web site. You can check out some pictures on the web site.
 
Guess Roger Lee didn't see this bump?

Was interested in where the Rotax running planes go to fill up with Mogas on this trip, in Page and other airports near mogas? The RV-12 has about 3.5 hours run time before time to fill up again.

Use the club car or car at the FBO?
