azleejay Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 It's confirmed... Chris, a pilot and medical professional from Escalante, is going to make sure transportation is available to get us into town! Chris lives at the airport, flys a 172 (converted to tailwheel), and spent a lot of time flying backwoods in Alaska. Just like Paul Bowmar (rip), he loves Escalante and is helping make the airport a fly-in destination. Here's the Circle D's breakfast menu: Or some may prefer breakfast at The Outfitters: http://www.escalanteoutfitters.com/ For your Future Flying Pleasure... Escalante (1L7) now has fuel, a pilot lounge/house, a free campground (with cookshack), and is working out the details for their donated courtesy car! http://www.utah.com/escalante/ http://www.escalanteut.com/ http://www.escalantecity-utah.com/ Escalante Pics Strong work Tim, looking forward to Escalante!

Duane Jefts Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I am most likely bringing a C-172 to Page this year. I will have an extra seat for those in need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Here is the GPS and airport data for the fly-in. Another attachment is flight rules and safety. Attached is also a flight card if you want to use this. This credit goes to Dave Fleming for our use. I highly recommend you print the GPS, airport data and flight rules out and bring them with you.

FlyingMonkey Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 For this time of the year, what is the weather and temperature likely to be in Page? Desert is likely warm in the day and cold at night, but what are typical highs and lows? Winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Andy, Lows are around 53 and highs around 75. One year the highs were 80-82. The worst winds we have ever had was 6-7 mph. Beautiful time of year up there. We will fly anywhere from 4K to 9.5k. If you do the grand Canyon that will be 10K to 11.5K. It's all great flying with the cool temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sounds good. I was wondering whether to pack shorts or long pants. I guess I'll need both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Cesnalis Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 ... The worst winds we have ever had was 6-7 mph ... Let me refresh your memory, we toured Antelope Canyon one day because of the high winds. Somewhere I have a picture of you in the slot canyon.

Ed Cesnalis Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 For this time of the year, what is the weather and temperature likely to be in Page? Desert is likely warm in the day and cold at night, but what are typical highs and lows? Winds? I departed Page for Mammoth one year with a big head wind and a long leg to Tonopah NV without any tape on my Radiator. I was hypo thermic by the time we landed in Tonopah and had a hard time getting warm again. Conditions at the fly-in are typically great but you are in proximity (time and distance) to big sudden changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 As CT says, the weather at the Fly-in has always been great, if not perfect. Knock on Wood. Maybe 70-75 days, and maybe 50 at night. A look at some of the past photos or videos will tell the tale... perfection. Bryce might be 55-60 for the high and 25-30 for the low. Of course, we're there fairly early, so it'll be on the cooler side (which is good for DA!). Systems come and go, but usually move through quickly. 2012 pics 2009 pics 2010 pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Is it bumpy? Only if you hit a big rock. Usually very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azleejay Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 There is a good chance I'll be freeing up one "CT group" reservation at the hotel, we have made different arrangements for accommodations. Still planning on arriving early on the 14th. I'll post here when we cancel the reservation, probably on the 12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingMonkey Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I just called the hotel and confirmed my reservation. Probably a good idea if you haven't done it, since it's been a while since many of us made the reservations and they are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Welsch Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Possibly not sold out. I reconfirmed my this morning and they had me set up with two confirmation numbers and two rooms. I cancelled one. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
