New Light Sport and Hundreds More Aircraft  
To Attend the Virginia Regional EAA Fly-In 

Light Sport aircraft  manufacturers will be new at the 9th Annual 
Virginia Regional EAA Fly-In  scheduled for October 1-2 at the 
Dinwiddie County Airport (PTB). Weather  cooperating, the 
Regional Fly-In should break a 630 plane record. As of  mid-September 
eight manufacturers and distributors of Light Sport Aircraft  and 
twelve other aircraft manufacturers are signed up as vendors.   
A total of 70 vendors are registered.

In addition to seeing this new  category of Light Sport Aircraft, 
you will be able to attend 21 forums  covering the new Sport 
Pilot certificate and other subjects. You can quickly  identify 
the location of the three Forum tents by looking for 
ORANGE  balloons flying above them.

Be sure to bring your Virginia Aviation  Ambassador passport 
(http://www.doav.virginia.gov/Ambassadors.htm) with you  and 
get it stamped at one of  the Aircraft Registration  tents.

If you fly in, please, please register your aircraft at one of the  
Aircraft Registration RED tents marked with red balloons. 
If you drive  in, fill out our registration form at the front gate and 
then proceed to the  Admissions.  In either case, registering will 
enter you in drawings for  multiple aviation related prizes.  The 
list can be viewed on the  www.vaeaa.org.

At Aircraft Registration or the Admissions Gate, be sure  you 
pick up your complimentary bag. When you register you also 
get a  patch,  program and other goodies.  While you are there, 
also pick  up a Prop Card if you want your aircraft judged.  Or, 
pick up a  different Prop Card if you want fuel.

At 1 p.m. on both days, a two-hour  crowd pleasing Air Show 
will begin.  During this time the field will be  closed by NOTAM 
allowing you to enjoy Charlie Kulp and his Flying Farmer  act, 
Ron Saglimbene flying his fire engine red Siai Marchetti, Charlie  
Schwenker performing classic aerobatics in his Extra 300, Bill 
Finigan  wringing out his S2C Pitts biplane and appreciate the 
aerial tricks of the  Hanover Radio Control Group.  Saturday or 
Sunday, come early to enjoy a  classic Pancake Breakfast in 
the main hangar which will be served 8 a.m. to  11 a.m..  Later in 
the day other vendors will be offering a wide  variety of food.

When flying in, check the suggested approach procedures  for 
both Ultralights and Standard Aircraft detailed with text and  
graphics on the Fly-In web site: www.vaeaa.org.  Monitor both 
AWOS  and Unicom frequencies as you fly the approach.  After 
landing roll out  to the far end of the runway as shown clearly with 
photographs of the  airport on our web site. Follow the directions 
of the Linemen to either Show  Plane Parking on the ramp 
(until filled) or General Aviation Parking in the  grass areas.  
Displaying a sign, SPP or GAP in your windshield will  make 
it easier for the Linemen to determine your destination.   

Due to new parking areas, if you want fuel, please display a 
GAS  sign or indicate "yes" when taxiing by the signs along 
the parallel taxiway  that say "GAS?".  The Lineman will then 
direct you to a special parking  area where a fuel truck is located.

Volunteer to help by using the  Volunteer Form on our web site. 
You can pick the time and area which  interests you.  Just click 
on Volunteers on the main web page. Dedicate  a minimum of 
four hours and you get a free pass to the Volunteer Dinner  
Saturday evening as well as lunch each day. You'll be glad you did!
