Shenandoah Valley Ultralight and Light Sport Flight Festival

Post by Lauren Tjaden »

I just found a link to this article on the OZ Report. Is the CHGPGA going to be represented?
Here's a blurb from it:

"NEW MARKET - A few days from now, a group of outdoor enthusiasts plans to share its sky-high party with the community.

On Saturday, a local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association will host a flight festival from 2 to 7 p.m. at the New Market Airport.

According to a release, the group will fill the skies with hot-air balloons, parachutes, hang gliders, airplanes and radio-controlled model planes.

They'll also show off "powered paragliders," billed as "the world's smallest aircraft."

And the best part? They'll give free airplane rides to kids ages 8 to 17.

The event, called the Shenandoah Valley Ultralight and Light Sport Flight Festival..."

Hi Lauren,

If I'm not mistaken this was last weekend. We weren't represented - only reason I knew about it was that my trike partner was going. It was kinda blown out that day - we went sailing...

Cheers - Hugh

It is this weekend. Sat the 18th. And we will be represented by myself and Karma. If you look about 25 post or so down you will find a blurb I posted about it two weeksago that got no response.
