Coming Events
Send news to theUSPPA@gmail.com |
For events past.
If you would like your event listed please send it to
USPPAevents@gmail.com
with event name, dates, and a Google readable address (coordinates work
well). Events can be anything open to the general public that would
be of interest to North American paramotor pilots including
international, local meetings and others.
Events still listed below the calendar are those which have run annually but
have not yet set dates. Once an event's date has either passed or is
confirmed and entered into the calendar, it will be removed from this list. Old events will remain on the calendar
for easy copying if the event runs again the following year.
One new requirement: limit words to 200. There is a bug in Google's
display that prevents buttons from displaying properly when events have too
much text. When Google fixes that bug, we'll remove the limit.
Lastly, to see a list of all events from the currently displayed month
onward, click on "Agenda" at the calendar's far right.
Thanks for your submissions and enjoy!

Sport Pilot aircraft and and other Ultralights.
Pilots are welcome to arrive early
and fly on other days before and after as long as you get a briefing. This is a General Aviation airport (no control

jeopardize our welcome.
The variety of aircraft that wander

Fri 07/?? -
Sun 07/??/2010
McArthur, CA Cost: Donation
Come join
fellow paraglider nuts, both powered and unpowered, at Hanks Place.
There is plenty of room for dry camping (tent or RVs) with water (for
refilling) and a double Porta Potty. Free flyers will love Hat Ridge,
only 20 minutes away, with its great glass-off soaring.
Saturday holds the
famous Bar B Que. They plan on having a GPS treasurer hunt so bring your
navigators. There will be some kind of spot landing and carrier landing
competitions, too. Bring the kids for the marshmallow roast Saturday after dark.
Hank's house is
the 2nd drive on the right just past Day Road about 6.5-7 miles east of
McArthur. Coordinates of the field and campsite below Hank's house are N 41⁰ 5’
9” and W 121⁰ 18’ 20”
This beautiful site is just East of McArthur, CA in the Fall River Valley which
is east of Redding. There's motoring morning/evening along the Pit and/or Fall
Rivers in sight of Mt. Shasta to the north and Mt. Lassen to the south ... or
just catch the lift on the ridge behind Hank's and sky out to 8,000+! The
evening glass off at Hat Creek Rim is only 20 minutes away for those that prefer
a unique motor-free flying experience and our own Greg Petersen lives right next
to the Rim.
There are also
trip extensions following the Fly In for whomever is so inclined to: (1)
Cedarville (on the east side of the Warner Mts), (2) Lakeview OR (motor and/or
free-flying), and (3) Spanish Springs Guest Ranch on the way home, down along
395S (with adjacent Ravendale Airport for morning/evening flying). Ropin' and
ridin' during the day for the cowboys/girls among us. Both Cedarville and
Lakeview also have some pretty neat hot springs... for soaking those aching
joints while para-waiting.
This is a
Sodflyers' annual event and we'd love to see any and all pilots come experience
the BIG AIR of Northern CA ... ok, and Oregon too!

2010-Sept-xx Beach Run Fly-In
Sat
09/19 - Sun 09/20/2009
Holland, MI Cost: $ Donations
All Pilots are invited to the
third sponsored PPG event at Park Township Airport. This wonderful PPG
friendly facility is only 2 miles from the expansive sugar-sand beaches
of Lake Michigan. The huge manicured launch area and nearby Lake
Michigan shoreline will make this a memorable PPG experience. Rest rooms
are available, but no shower (sorry). A bar of soap and a refreshing
Lake Michigan dip would be memorable Sept experience.
Free camping and 100LL (not free) is
available right on the airport grounds. Motels, shopping, and food near by; for
more area info go to
http://www.park-township-airport.com. The Airport is located at 1269 Ottawa
Beach Rd, Holland, MI 49424.
There is no fee to attend this event,
but donations will be cheerfully accepted and will be directed to support the
airport maintenance fund. This is an unstructured event where the beach is the
star of the show. Also the Airport is right next to the paved bike trail ending
2 miles to the west at the best beach on Lake Michigan. It is likely that we
will be serving up grill food for Saturday lunch.
This year a few new rules came down
from the Township and airport management, these will be discussed in a hand-out
on-site. One rule that needs be pointed out in advance is that pets are not
permitted on airport grounds (you’ll need to find a sitter for the pooch).
Early arrivals are OK. Men are
advised that, if the weather turns out bad, you can always hit the nearby outlet
mall with the Mrs. For more information contact Terry Lutke at 616-262-9895.
(tentative) 2010-Sept-xx Scott's Place
Fri 09/11 - Mon 09/14/2009
Jonesboro, Arkansas Cost: $0
Scotts Place is a brand new,
user-friendly facility dedicated to PPG and PPC flyers. They feel that
many pilots in the surrounding area would consider Jonesboro a central
location. They say "We also feel the pilots would like to have a few
regular recurring informal fly-ins each year and also have a place that
would be available on an "Always Open" basis for any special event that
may present itself. Or a place that on the spur of the moment, from 4
pilots to 400 pilots who just want to go do their thing in the sky, have
a facility to do so. Our ambition is to be such a place."
"There is always On-Site camping,
RV's, campers, whatever, and 1-4 star hotels are only a 5 to10 minute drive from
the site. Restaurants, shopping and such are all around, again within minutes.
No power or RV hookups however. Porta potties on site for meets and fly ins. If
you have any special needs, let us know. We will reasonably do what we can to
provide those needs. Come as early as you wish and stay as long as you wish.
This is an always open, always welcome facility."
"If you are equipment dealers,
schools, instructors or other wise have legit related stuff for sale, bring it
on. You can set it up where ever you like on site, or get together with others
and put it all in a central location. Up to you."
"We have an idea of who is around,
but it is just a guess. We really do not know if a local radius is considered
100 miles or 1000 miles or more. That depends on the individual. Help us by
responding. We have made it pretty easy and simple. Just go
here, and do two things.
Respond to our inquiry (really simple and quick) and enter your name on the List
of who is coming for the September Fly In if you think you may come. That’s all.
Thank you."

Ava, IL (near Carbondale) Cost: Donation

Accommodations: Plenty of room for tent or trailer camping is available.
Limited electric, and no water hook ups. Large mowed ppg launch field.
Motel/Hotel accommodations are available in the nearby towns of
Pinckneyville, Murphysboro, or Carbondale.
Activities: Flying any time weather permitting. Cross country flights will be

ATVs welcome. Plenty of riding on the Boucher property and endless trails in
the surrounding forest property. Note: no motor vehicles are allowed on forest
property. Humm.
Fish fry on Friday evening, Pig (pork) roast potluck on Saturday.
Now a little History.
Back in the late 80’s A couple of Bouchers purchased this 70 acre farm sight,
boarded on two sides by the Shawnee national forest, and located about ˝ mile
from beautiful Lake Kincaid. At this time we were in our heyday of the fixed
wing ultralight aircraft craze, so we immediately constructed a 900 foot runway
to launch our machines. From this point, for the next several years we explored
by air, the diverse and varied landscapes of southern Illinois.
About six miles to the southwest runs the Mississippi river to which we made
several trips landing on the large and ever changing sandbars. Even closer lies
the Mississippi river valley which stretches 50 miles south to the Ohio River.
Bald Knob Cross, located about 15 miles southwest was an interesting trip, and
the large strip mine operations about 5 miles north offered some very different
scenery. Pinckneyville airport is located about 5 miles north of the strip
mines. This airport was our home base until the recent Sport Pilot ruling took
effect, and is now nearly ultralight free, but it‘s a great place to launch
PPG‘s.
