SUN-N-FUN ITINERARY
(REVISED 02/26/06)
(REVISED 02/26/06)
PLAN B (Less stops)
1. Everyone will be given a pocket notebook to copy down all pilots’ cell phone numbers before takeoff. If you have a radio problem and can’t land at the chosen destination, land somewhere else and call us. (Cell phone use while in the air is illegal).
2. Slower airplanes will depart each airport first, followed by medium speed planes followed by faster airplanes.
3. We won’t try to fly formations, but if airplanes with similar speeds wish to fly together, they may.
4. Faster airplanes will pass slower airplanes enroute, either above or on the right.
5. As soon as each plane gets to each stop it should refuel as soon as possible (IF NECESSARY) to make room for those following.
6. Everyone will wait at that stop until the slower planes take off again.
Any suggestions to this plan or to the route are welcome.
