It is time once again to make plans for the Pinckneyville Flyin.
When: May 20, 21, and 22, 2005
Where: PJY, Pinckneyville Airport, Pinckneyville, Illinois. It is about 80
miles southeast of St. Louis on the St. Louis sectional chart. 4000 foot
lighted north/south runway paved with a short parallel grass strip on the
west side of the pavement north of the taxiway to the ramp.
Who: Anyone interested in aviation. Fly in, Drive in, come by bicycle,
walk. It doesn't matter. Just come on by.
Cost: We ask for $20 to cover the cost of the groceries for the three day
event. $10 is good if you are only going to make it for one day. This
covers food available as well as beverages, hot and cold.
Accomodations: Camping on the field is free. There are two bathrooms
available but no showers.
If you prefer a motel the local motel is the Mainstreet Inn, in downtown
Pinckneyville. Call 618-357-2128. Clean, comfortable, and reasonably
priced.
There is also a B&B, The Oxbow Bed and Breakfast. Call 618-357-9839.
Slightly more expensive, but nice.
Transportation is generally available between the airport and the motel and
B&B.
Generally buddy flying all day and hangar flying all night. Meet the people
you only know from the Internet. It is a great party.
Registration: Send an email to Mary at and let her know
what days you will be attending so that she can plan the groceries. We have
to order the steaks soon! :-)
