Capitol Jets V for 2009

Hi all this is Frank

I cordially invite you to attend the 5th annual Capitol Jets program

Flight operations will begin on Friday July 10th at Noon and continue until 6:00 PM. Flying on Friday will be reserved for participating pilots and their families with no spectators. This low key day will allow for test hops, field familiarization and perhaps AMA turbine wavier check flights if needed.

Flying on Saturday and Sunday will promptly begin at 9:00 AM and run until 5:00 PM

Factory demonstrations will be accomodated on a case by case basis.

I welcome single ship scale demonstrations during breaks if requested.

Miglet Melee

Get your miglet foamies ready and painted so you ID your jet during our proposed group fly! Most pilots are already on 2.4 gig, however those on 72 Mhz will have to fly with correct frequency pins.

Current 2009 Turbine waviers are required for all turbine powered jets and will be verified during registration.

Keep these dates open and come join us:

July 10, 11 and 12th

Check back for any last minute news about the event.

Capitol Jets is starting to make plans for the 2008 rally. It will be at South Albany Airport again with a fantastic flying area available and plenty of parking.

Keep these dates available for this event: July 11-13, 2008

Last year Capitol Jets had over 50 registered pilots flying everything from electric powered jets to a twin powered A10. The A10 was a crowd pleaser and this year we hope to see more of these jets arrive for 2 days of fun and flying in upstate New York.

Be sure to check back for more information!

New Photos added to the Gallery. Check them out! 

 

With the Rally/Airshow now over, it appears that this was the biggest event yet. There were 50 registered pilots and some even brought more than one plane.

At the noon hour, crowds on both days were able to walk up close to the planes and talk to the pilots. The spectator crowd was huge and the kids loved it.

There are some pictures posted on the photo page for all 3 years. The webmaster will try to put up more pictures as soon as he can.

Check back again for more pictures and news about Capitol Jets III and.....

 

Get ready for Capitol Jets IV in 2008
