Capital City Jets event, July 21/22.

[Bunky.F.Knuckle]

They say, if you build it, they will come......... We are building it, so y'all come on out!! If anyone remember way back when, the Heart of Ohio Jet Scramble?? We are bringing it back, same killer location, with a different event name and hopefully some familiar faces along the way.

Capital City Jets is a 2 day Jet Fly-In July 21st and 22nd at Darby Dan Airport in Columbus Ohio (some Friday flying might also be possible, let me know if you are interested). For those of you that are not familiar with Darby Dan Airport, it is the airport that the Heart of Ohio Jet scramble was held. It is 6000 feet long and 75 feet wide. The fly-in is sponsored by the Columbus Big Birds. Landing fee is $20 bucks for both days. We will provide the field, runway, a porta-pot, a PA with music, and a spot to pit...you bring everything else and fly all you want with your fellow jet jocks. If you want to stay in town Saturday night there are some close hotels on Hilliard Rome Road in Hilliard Ohio.

There are some great pictures of Heart of Ohio Jet Scrambles on the BVM website, including these from 2003 .... Heart of Ohio Jet Scramble '03

Feel free to ask questions here. We will update as needed. See our facebook page for a few current videos and pics from the airport. https://www.facebook.com/Columbusbigbirds1/

Many have asked to fly at Darby Dan Airport again, so here is your chance!!

This event is cross posted on RCG and RCU.

See you there!!
