Hello Panther friends!
We would like to invite you to three opportunities over the next few months to see the Panther.
Next weekend, on Saturday Sept. 14th, our home airpark is hosting a fly-in to show off some of the available properties for sale at Haller Airpark. There is going to be free food and great fellowship, and the Panther will be there flying around too! So if you are in the vicinity, we are at 7FL4 – which is near Jacksonville, FL. The fly-in is from 11 am to 2 pm.
The Panther will also be at the Thomasville, GA fly-in running from October 11-13th. This is a wonderful grass roots fly-in that anyone in the area should make a priority to attend, if only for a few hours. Our family has been going to this fly-in for years and we always have a great time. It is similar to Brodhead fly-in, if you are familiar. Check out their site HERE
The third opportunity in the works will be at the Barnwell, SC Corvair College #27. November 8-10th at Barnwell Regional Airport (KBNL). We aren’t 100% committed to this event at this time, but it is certainly one we are trying to plan for. This is one of the most popular and well organized Corvair Colleges and sign-up cut off is October 20th. For those of you who are not familiar, this is a Corvair engine building weekend school type setting for people who are interested in learning the tasks required to build up a Corvair engine. There will be many people wrenching on their engine projects, engines that test run onsite and flying aircraft with Corvair engines installed. If you are interested in attending please click HERE . You can also visit the Facebook page HERE This is not a free event, so you must register and pay the fee to attend, even if you are only going to be a spectator. The fee is $75 per person and goes directly to the host, P.F. Beck and crew, to cover feeding you and keeping you hydrated for the entire weekend. Camping is free and they have nice facilities, but no hookups for RVs.
We will post more details as the Thomasville and Barnwell events get closer.
