    This is a practice run for members of the Rogue Valley Flyers for their upcoming Air Show on September 7 & 8 (Saturday & Sunday), 2013. All AMA members wishing to participate in the air show are encouraged to attend. Any spectators who would also like to see what's going on may attend as well. We'd love to see a great turn-out. Thanks!!!

    Time TBD - Stay Tuned :)

    Is this instead of the air show at the Rogue Valley Flyers show in Kerby?

    This is a practice run to get used to the new venue. Tha actual air show is Sept. 7-8 and will also be held at the GP Airport. Kerby will no longer be used for this event. We needed something more accessible to more people and also something with more room for bringing in BIGGER planes:cool:
    BTW, I really like the new events threads system. Light-years better! Good job!

    So will the airport be closed to 1:1 planes for the days the RC air show is going on?

    No, the airport doesn't close. We will have a radio set to the tower frequency and we'll have to monitor it as well as have spotters looking for incoming air traffic.

    That sounds potentially disruptive. I've never spent much time at that airport but I assume it isn't ever very busy anyway. Maybe they only get one or two 1:1 planes in there per day anyway.

    Correct that it isn't very busy. I am sure they will limit the flights taking off from there during our air show as is it in conjunction with the EAA. Less flights taking off means less flights landing :)
    Really shouldn't be much of a disruption. We'll have plenty of advance notice of any incoming/outgoing flights and will thus be able to be out of the way before any problems can arise.
