Highland Aerosports Fly-In Don't forget about the Ridgely Fly-In at Highland Aerosports, scheduled for June 8th! From Chad Elchin: This year's fly-in will be a 1 day event. We'll have the XC and Duration contest on Saturday. I'm not certain what we're going to do with the spot landing or bomb drop this year. There will be dinner on Saturday night with the awards ceremony. Dinner will include a pig roast, chicken, a vegetarian dish and other cook out type food. Demos will continue through at least Sunday evening. We should have a full line of gliders here, including the new Shadow as well as the Moyes Lite-Sport. There will be a rain date for the following weekend.

High Rock Fly-Inby Bruce SatatisThis year will be the 27th Annual HIGH ROCK Fly-in. The date has been tentatively set for Saturday, June 1st and Sunday, June 2nd. As you know, High Rock has been closed due to the TFR placed over Camp David since September 11th. Joe Gregor has been working very hard to obtain a one-time waiver to allow Hang Gliding flights off of High Rock on these dates. Everything is contingent on the waiver. If we are granted a waiver to fly June 1st and 2nd, then the party will be held as scheduled. If the waiver is granted for dates other than June 1st and 2nd, the party will be held on the days allowed by the waiver. If we are shut down completely, the party will be held June 1st and 2nd. As you can see, there are a lot of 'ifs' and the final decision can not be made until we get word back from Joe on the dates. An important point I would like to make is this year's fly-in will be very different from those in the past. If your name did not make the list submitted to the Secret Service for advance approval, you will not be able to fly. The event will be very structured with sign-ins and verification and there is reason to believe the Secret Service and the FAA will be present to observe our operations. We are hoping this will pave the way for future flying at High Rock. The High Rock Party this year is a benefit for Emma Jane Carbaugh. Emma Jane has been fighting cancer for the past year, and flying or not, we would like to let her know how much we appreciate the support she has given the hang gliding community through out the past 27 years. Wherever you may fly on June 1st, I hope to see you in the LZ for the cook-out and camping. This year we are charging $20.00. The proceeds of the cook-out will be presented to Emma Jane. The menu this year will include Sirloin burgers, sweet Italian sausage, hot dogs and sodas, vegetarian burgers, pasta salads, macaroni salad and chips. And, of course, beer. Feel free to bring a favorite dish or dessert. Whether, we are given permission to fly or not, we ask that everyone sign Emma Janes log as you leave. As more information becomes available, it will be posted to the listserver. Bruce Satatis President MHGA
