Beginner event flown at the 2007 Nats
The PAMPA Beginner event has been moved to Monday, July 9 and will be flown in the most northwest corner of the 600’ X 600’ grass area located northwest of the “L” pad. Going to the “L” pad and looking directly toward the AMA Headquarters and the AMA Museum, you can visually find our site. Our flying area will be located in that line of sight.
Beginner registration will begin at 8:00 AM and our pilot’s meeting will be at 9:00 AM. We will begin flying as soon as we can. You must have been registered at the AMA “Farm House” prior to being allowed to fly on the site. This is a safety and informational rule in place, as the AMA needs to know of where you are so any contact from families at home can be better facilitated. You must be wearing at least a Mechanics or Entrants badge.
Beginner is divided into two age categories. Open pilots will fly together and then Junior and Senior flyers will compete against those age brackets only. Two identical perpetual trophies will be awarded, one to the Junior/Senior winner and the other to the Open winner. The perpetual trophies must stay within the Continental USA. Framed award certificates will be given to eighth place in each age category.
The New Albany Skyliners and the Peoria Area Wyreflyers will assist in the running of the event that day. Call or email Allen Brickhaus if you can assist in any way during the July 9 event. Generous stunt pilots and friends have donated engines, kits, handles, and as sundry items for the pilots to choose after the awarding of the prizes. Any donations would be welcome as they go to the event flyers only. The young pilots are given a choice before the adults get their choice.
Be sure that each pilot has their AMA card, Nats badge, a safety thong on their handle and their AMA or equivalent number permanently marked on the upper right wing surface, fuselage side or vertical rudder. The markings must be at least one inch high. Contact Allen W. Brickhaus for assistance or donations at: PO Box 206/321 East Patton Street, Golconda, IL 62938-0206 or abkb801@shawneelink.net or 618-683-7611 Home or 618-841-0089 Cell.
