Ed, now you can help people pack their coupes for the Great Arkansas Picnic. Please everyone do not over load your coupes with camping equipment for this fly-in. If you need something that you can not bring safely we will have it here. Do bring your tie-down ropes only--we have cables to tie to. And if you need anything else when you get here just let us know.
