EAA Chapter 1300
Invites You to a Breakfast Fly-Out
Saturday, October 23, 2010

WHERE ARE WE GOING? We’re going to Mesquite, Nevada (67L). Check out the Mesquite airport on AirNav at the following link: http://www.airnav.com/airport/67L

WHY ARE WE GOING THERE? This will be a breakfast fly-out to eat at the Oasis Golf Course Restaurant, the same place that was so popular for the last couple of years. The view of the golf course is great, the food is great, the service is great. Transportation is free. What’s not to like?

WHAT TIME DO WE NEED TO BE THERE? You should plan to be on the ground at Mesquite (67L) by 8:30 a.m. in order to get transportation to the restaurant. After 9:00 a.m. transportation is not assured.

WHAT'S THE IN-FLIGHT FREQ? If you want to contact others who are heading to Mesquite, we use 123.15.

NOTE: As always, if the weather is not VFR (no IFR or MVFR) the fly-out will be canceled and we'll gather at The Landings Restaurant at HND at 8:00 a.m. for the usual Saturday morning get together.

Mark you calendars now. More details as the date approaches.
