Owens Sept 21st

I'm going! Have a driver (my wife) who can chase us XC. Have radios. Looking forward to flying with some people. Message me, or reply, or call/text if you're going too. Will be a good trip.

Definitely want to go Sept 21st!

Definitely want to go Sept 21st! Unfortunately can't make it for Labor Day. Have plenty of experience lately with big air.

Anybody doing the Central Utah Red-Rocks fly-in Sept 24-29th? I realize 29th is the Sylmar party, would be an epic week!
