Fort Smith Arkansas Fly Low In Sept. 19-22

Ok guys its time to get the party started! As for the directions.

Latitude - Longitude:
35.328133,-94.274433

Lat: 35° 19' 41.2788"
Long: -94° 16' 27.9588"

If you are coming in to Fort Smith (most likely from I-40), Take I-540 to Rogers avenue exit (hwy 22). Go East down Rogers Avenue towards Barling. When you get to hwy 59 you will see a gravel road on the left about 30 yards past the intersection. You will see a sign and follow the signs to the field. The field is only about 5 miles from all the major Motels/Hotels, restraunts, etc etc. There is a variety of places to stay ranging from the Hotel 6 to the Hamton Inn or better.
I will be posting alot of information as well as several other guys already on the forum keeping you up to date. The working roster for pilots that have confirmed are (and is a working list that will be updated as we go)

All the local guys of obviously

I know there is more and I will add them later but I am kinda tired as I have been studing got a class for work and just knocked out 8 chapters tonight and I am in overload at the moment. I have 2 generators I can bring out for power for charging if need be, (5000 watt and a 5600 Watt inverter generator)
Camping is welcomed and like I said before, about EVERY major restraunt (etc) is just down the road.
Forgive me for the typos I am extremely tired at the moment

Yes we will have night lights.
That's ok Mike not a problem. I understand. I actually just got back from dauphin island with my family.
 
Looks like my dad is getting excited about bringing the RV for this event. I just want to make sure there is room for a 37' Winnebago.
 
That is a nice pilots list, i see a lot of people i know and they are all great people. Can't wait to hang out with old friends and like always, make new ones.
I sure hate to see that bivens isn't gonna make it tho.

Brian, you're right, this event is shaping up nicely. I plan to arrive Thursday evening...
Will make it a one day drive up, and leave Thursday morning.
