ALL ROOMS ARE UNDER MY CREDIT CARD SO CANCEL THE RESERVATION IF YOU’RE NOT COMING! Otherwise I’ll pass on the charges to your credit card...like how that works?

Robb Sporrer is bringing 8 pilots and will be with us! We will gain the expertise of both Tom and Robb. There will be a great group from San Fran flying the valley and of course the merry locals from Kari’s group will be flying during the weekend as well.

It is going to be great flying fun!
