2012 Dust Devil Dash

A reminder to all you serious X-C pilots in the Southwest: the 2012 Dust
Devil Dash will take place on the Saturday after Labor Day. September 8,
10:00 a.m. pilots meeting in Ravens Nest restaurant, Mountain Valley
airport, Tehachapi CA - mark your calendars now.

This is the premier straight-out handicapped cross-country event of every
year. Fly against the best in the west, but open to all. ASH-26,
Duckhawk, Sparrowhawk, Cirrus, TG-2, 1-26 - just bring what you fly and see
where you can get to. Past winners have ranged from vintage gliders to
open class superships; piloting skills are more valuable than L/D. No
pilot has yet made it to the Missippi or Canada, you might be the first.

There will be an informal BBQ at the field on the Friday evening, everyone
welcomed. Registration, only $5, in the restaurant starts at 8 a.m.
Launch immediately after pilots meeting, first in line goes first, pay your
own tow. If you would like help with retrieve, call Ian at 661-821-6609,
we have a few volunteers.
