Our next club trip will be to the Flying Circus Airshow near Warrenton, VA. We will fly into Warrenton-Fauquier airport (KHWY). Our destination is roughly 190 nm North of Sanford, which will be a nice flight for all of our club aircraft.

The trip is scheduled for Sunday, August 30th. We will depart around 8:30-9:00 in the morning and will arrive roughly two hours later depending on which plane you are in. The airshow starts at 2:30pm. Prior to the show, open cockpit airplane rides are available for a fee. What fun to experience an era gone by in a Stearman or Waco biplane! For the adventurous members, aerobatic rides are also available! I know George Scheer would not approve spins, aileron rolls, or loops in a 152, so here is your chance!

A concession stand is on site for lunch. Burgers, hot dogs, drinks and other fair are available for purchase. Admission to the show is $10, children 3-12 are $3. As always, everyone is responsible for the shared cost of the plane that you are in.

If you are interested in joining us please send me an email with your name and club member number along with what plane you want to fly/ride in (student pilots are welcome). I will pair people with planes and passengers. The trip is open to all members and their families. We are only limited by the number of seats in our planes. Once the planes are full I will start a waiting list. For scheduling purposes I need to have a head count by August 9th. Again, this is first reply, first serve, so do not wait until August 9th to sign up, you may not get a seat.

Please be aware that KHWY is within the Washington DC SFRA. All pilots are required to take the online course before flying into this area (and have your course certificate with you).
