The clinic will be based out of Linder Aviation’s hangar and FBO Located on the field. There will be a hospitality room setup for our flight debriefings after the flying is done on Friday and Saturday. There will also be a Friday night dinner at the Hotel Nauvoo, a fly-in pancake breakfast at the airport Saturday morning and a Banquet Saturday night as part of the Fly-in registration.

Last year we had 15 airplanes in attendance including Navions, several CJ-6’s, Yaks, L-19’s and two T-34’s. We already have three Navions and two Yak’s/CJ’s signed up for this year’s event. Here is your chance to get started on getting your FAST Wingman or Lead card or just get in some formation practice. What a great way to finish up the summer flying season.
