SPECIAL
EVENT: Weather permitting the Seawind
Fleet (everyone
is invited) will depart Sky Harbor for TWO full days of flying Northern
Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota. Bring a sleeping bag and tent just in case.
A tentative flight plan (negotiable) might be DYT-4R5-KASX-KIWD-KOGM-
KCMX-KSAW-KESC-KMNM-3D2-KSUE-KEGV-KPKF-KHYR (JacksField)-
KBRD-KBJI-KRRT-KINL-KCKC-and back to KDYT. This would cover
beautiful areas along the south shore of Lake Superior - Resort areas of
Northern WI and then to Northern most MN returning along the Canadian
Border and then the North Shore of Lake Superior on Friday afternoon. WE
should have plenty of room for folks who might like to ride along and this
"could be the start of something grand".
Nothing could be more fun than a
fleet of Seawinders spending a couple of days FLYING together.
