We are 2 weeks away from the unofficial start of Tiger Meet 2018. Wednesday 10/24 is setup day, but people are welcome to arrive starting Wednesday. If you plan to arrive earlier just contact me to make arrangements.

AMA sanctioned days are Friday 10/26 and Saturday 10/27. Thursday 10/25 will be a non-sanctioned day so target this for any maidens, LTMA1/2 waiver flights, turbine pilot waiver flights, etc. The field will be open all day Sunday 10/28 for those that want to fly. If you plan to stay after Sunday, please contact me to make arrangements.

I need to have tent rental information by this Friday 10/12.

Parking reservations can be made up until Wednesday 10/14 ... first come first serve after that.

Paid event jet pilots can also fly foamies or other non-turbine types of planes on our 2nd flight line which is behind and parallel to the main runway, completely away from obstructing main flight line jet ops.
