Default 2013 Fall Jet Fun Fly – Are you ready for OC-Turbo Fest?

It’s that time of year again for the Fall Oil Creek Flyers OC-Turbo Fest.
As usual we will be there on Friday for anyone wanting to come early with the main day on Saturday.
Location is the Titusville Municipal Airport which is located in beautiful Northwestern Pennsylvania.
Titusville is located equidistant from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo

The airport features a 4900 x 75 foot paved runway with generous clear over fly areas.
Jet A is available on site AMA and Turbine waivers are required.
This is a Jet Flyer's event, no noon time shows, just plenty of all out jet flying.
Donation is $15.00

For information:
Call Jack Graham (814) 725-0799
e-mail [email protected]

Thanks
Rich

Yep... same thing we always do...

I'll be up on Friday afternoon also. Hopefully, I'll have a ShockJet done by then. (Stuffing a JC Falcon in one)

I got the ShockJet done last night. Ever since joining my new club... I wanted something I could use as my "Every-day" jet. And, since Mon-Valley has limited fly over, and a grass field... I figure that would be perfect.

Now my only problem is... How to put an 80" wing in a short truck bed??


Anyway... I'll bring the shock, and my little T-45.


Weather looks great !

Hey Joe, I talked to Jack last night, he said the Airport has the materials (cold patch and a Tamper) to fix the cracks and they are working on it....

If the weather is going to be 100% clear... I guess I can just let it stick out the back, and put a bungee net over it.

Regardless... I need a little down time. (Can't wait)

Hey Bob, that also sounds like fun, I just drove past Joe Nall coming home from FL this past Saturday... I was hoping that it was going to be this past weekend....
Look forward to seeing you next year during the event season.

I might fly down in the Cessna. I enjoyed watching the jets fly last time and seeing some old friends.
