Golden West EAA Competition Update

As a reminder and to clear up possible confusion, the 2015 EAA Chapter Competition requires only 3 entrants per Chapter in the Aircraft Judging arena, 2 Homebuilts + 1 Classic/Antique (1971 or earlier production aircraft). The reduction in the number of judged aircraft from previous years was to encourage participation from the smaller Chapters.

The Flying Competition (Spot Landing and Bomb Drop) can be performed by the Judged Aircraft or any two additional fixed wing aircraft the Chapter decides to enter, for a possible total of 5 aircraft. Pilots and their passengers will receive a breakfast voucher when they register. For those wishing to practice, the provided flour bomb will weigh approximately 1 lb. and have a 3′ “tell tail” streamer. Minimum bomb drop altitude is 300′.

There is a fuel discount for those who fly into Golden West – Honeycutt Aviation is offering a 50 cent/gallon discount off rack fuel prices for purchases of 10 gallons or more.

Looking forward to seeing you at Golden West.
