Olav Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Less than two months and counting down to Page! Hotel rooms still available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct9000 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 G'day from AUS would like to join you in Page. I can fly to DRO via LAX from Australia, but haven't worked out how to get from DRO to Page. It looks to be a couple of hundred miles on the map. If room is still available at the motel I will keep working on the logistics of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct9000 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Can someone please supply an email address for the clarion. I would like to book but I can only find the online booking sites and I would like to deal directly with the clarion for this booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Koerner Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 ct9, They said their email address is clarionoffice@gmail.com. Despite the name, that address goes directly to the Clarion motel in Page. There are commuter flights into Page, though it is a small market and the flights may be expensive. Durango, Colorado is 260 road miles from Page (418 km). Flagstaff, Arizona or Saint George, Utah are about half that distance and about the same size, I would think, in terms of number of flights in and out. Phoenix and Las Vegas are roughly the same distance away as Durango and much larger markets which should offer lower airfares, though I realize that's not always the case.

FlyingMonkey Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 It's 178nm direct from DRO to PGA. Seems with scads of airplanes flying into PGA we can figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtk Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Sigh... my SportCruiser is being serviced and I don't think it'll be done in time for the event. (It's way too hot in Florida for my mechanic to work in a bare metal hangar). I'm going to wait until the last minute to make a final decision. I might consider driving out for the event if I can't fly in, but won't know until closer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Koerner Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Tim, You're going to scare people away from the fly-in. That's a thunderstorm. It happens all over the country - no more common out west than in the south. Mike Koerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olav Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 One week from today the fun starts...the 10th Annual Page CT and Light Sport Fly-in! Opening dinner at the Ranch House Grill Wednesday evening October 11. Social hour starts there at 5pm with dinner at 6. Bring your own beer/wine/spirits! Sightseeing and breakfast flights will once again be to Monument Valley; Grand Canyon; Bryce Canyon; Bullfrog Marina on upper Lake Powell; Escalante, Utah; several of these include flights up the length of Lake Powell, and this year we are adding in Sedona and the spectacular red rock Oak Creek Canyon area. Regarding Wednesday's half day raft trip...so far only 4 people are signed up for this. If you are new to the fly-in and to the area this is an activity that I strongly recommend. No rapids, just a pleasant float in a large motorized raft. But the visual impressions of being down IN the canyon cannot be adequately described...really one of those "must experience to appreciate" activities. I have done it every year I've attended the fly-on but it never gets old and once again I will be on the raft. So, if you want to kick off the fly-in with a unique experience in a spectacular setting contact Colorado River Adventures. They will have us back to Page by 4pm on Wednesday. Any questions about any of the activities or plans please feel free to PM me or Tim (CT4ME). See you in a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
