[Wing] Langley RV Fly-in 2002

[Tedd McHenry]

The Langley Aero Club and Van's Air Force Western Canada Wing are holding a
fly-in for RVs on Saturday, June 8, 2002 at Langley airport (CYNJ).  This is
shaping up to be a really good event, with some fantastic features already
planned, and probably more to come.  Keep an eye on the Fly-in web page for
details,

Perhaps you're already the proud owner of a flying RV.  Lucky you! Then you'll
surely want to fly in for a chance to win the People's Choice award for the
best RV, and to show off your beautiful airplane.  There will be plenty of
space on the field for parking.  You can camp on the field, or stay in one of
the hotels near the airport.  We'll be posting information about accommodation
on the Wing web site over the next few weeks.  

Currently building an RV? Then you're probably thinking a lot about those first
flights.  We're going to have Mike Seager, Van's authorized RV transition
training instructor, available for transition instruction in his RV-6.  For
more information, or to schedule instruction, contact Mike Seager between
7:00am and 9:00am Pacific Time at (503) 429-5103.  Mike can also be reached via
e-mail at rv6cfi at vernonia.com.  You'll also enjoy the seminar on engines, by
Bart Lalonde of Aero Sport Power, and RV safety, by Eustace Bowhay.  We are
very fortunate to have these two highly respected aviation professionals come
to our fly in.  

Are you an RV wannabe? Seriously thinking about building one, but unsure about
what's involved, the cost, the time commitment? Worried that you don't have the
skills? Then you'll be interested in talking to the representative from Van's
Aircraft who will be there, and attending the seminar I'll be giving,
"Introduction to RV Building." The seminar will cover those basic questions,
and others, and will be a place where you can ask whatever's on your mind about
the building process, and maybe even try a little practise rivetting.  

If you just like to look at RVs, this is probably going to be your best chance
inside Canada this year.  There are 38 RVs registered in B.C., and we hope to
have a sizeable proportion of them at Langley.  We've been contacted by groups
as far away as Saskatchewan and southern California who've expressed an
interest in flying in with their RVs.  So we expect a great turn out, and some
really interesting RVs to look at.  

Naturally, we're encouraging anyone who wants to fly in, regardless of what
type of airplane they have.  If you plan to attend, and especially if you plan
to fly in, please take the time to write me at tedd at vansairforce.org or, if you
prefer, sign the Guest Book on the Fly-in web page.

That will help us plan facilities such as food, washrooms, and customs for U.S.
visitors.
