TO GET THERE ON DAY ONE

Meeting time will be at 8:00 a.m. at T BOWS 2 BAR 3.
To get there:
Head east of Flagstaff on I-40 to the Winona exit 211. Get off and go left you will be heading north northwest. Stay on this main road a couple miles untill you come to a right hand turn Leupp Rd. Turn right and after approx one half mile you will see T Bows on your right. We will caravan to the hill from there. If you are late and miss the 8:00 meeting continue north on Leupp road another 10 miles until you see the flying site you will see Merriam on your left and Sheba on your right.

The normal frequency is 151.505 if your late this may be your best bet as cell service is spotty in the area. Instructors if you are bringing students and plan on teaching please use another frequency to reduce chatter and make things safer for all involved.

Camping is allowed at the hill and in the National Forest nearby.
The City of Flagstaff is also full of Hotels.

Motorized flying is allowed, however motor pilots must be briefed before flying to avoid disturbing land owners.

All participants must be current USHPA members!
