Mountain States
Canard Wing
Fly-In 2010

Jean Airport (0L7)
Jean, Nevada
March 26-28, 2010

The Mountain States Fly-In has traditionally been a meeting place for Canard Wing experimental aircraft (typically Dragonfly, Quickie and their derivatives), owners, builders, and wannabe's who live too far away to attend the Annual Field of Dreams Canard Wing Fly-In in October in the Midwest.

Hosting the Mountain States Fly-In for the past few years has been Pat Panzera of CONTACT! Magazine, presiding over his unique Alternative Engine Forum and the Corvair Confab, profoundly entertaining and informative FREE Experimental Aircraft Engine Forums held on Saturday during the event.

Weather will be Severe Clear - Probably late enough in the year to miss the spring showers, and still early enough to avoid the summer desert heat. However, it would be prudent to plan for a reasonably warm days, and desert cold at nights. Click here for AirNav information for Jean airport .

Pat reports that we have the run of the airport, the use of their air conditioned meeting building, and use of their BBQ area for the Saturday Awards Dinner. As usual, though it is incumbent on those who are driving in to bring enough portable chairs for themselves and for the pilots who are flying their plastic planes to Jean.

Parking is by tie-down. There is no covered parking at Jean. Most of the parking areas are hard pack, some are concrete. Fuel is available. However, there still may be a temporary $500 fuel use fee reserved against your credit card which is reversed in about 7-10 days. Jean is located 21 nm SW of McCarran International Airport.

Sam Kittle has again this year volunteered to cook chicken and tri-top for us like he did last year so 'Da Awards Dinner is on for Saturday night. About mid-day on Saturday, Sam will head out to Costco and get enough supplies to cover the pre-sold meals. Cost will be in the $8-$10 range, depending on what we decide the final menu to be. If you have any suggestions of if you want to help with the cookout,  please contact Pat Panzera

The Fly-In is FREE to participants, while The Dinner is an extra-cost item. There'll be Awards recognizing the Best of Show and the Longest Distance, so donations will be cheerfully accepted to offset these expenses.

Saturday evening, 6:00 pm, we'll be having a dinner gathering / awards banquet on the field. Dinner details to be announced at the show, but it'll be similar to last year where we had a BBQ on the field.

Sunday: Departures

 

Please note that automobile fuel is not available on the field, but we can help bring you some if you need it, especially if you can supply your own cans. We don't know if the fuel at the local gas stations (Shell and Mobil) have ethanol or not, or what percentage it might contain. A call to the Shell station didn't do any good as no one knew what we were talking about. Odds  are good that the fuel contains ethanol, but less  than 10 percent.
