Parents: please have a talk with your children about safety, airplanes and keep them safe. Pilot’s: please do not start your engine until you roll your plane out of the camping area.
Vehicles: please drive slow and look around. As we have had our 2 kids at the fly-ins for the last decade, we cannot stress enough the safety factor and that we all need to be responsible and reliable when it comes to keeping everyone safe.

Bring your sunscreen and get ready for some fun!
