INFORMATION FOR THE 2010 FLY-IN WILL BE UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
INFORMATION TO PILOTS
Welcome everyone! We are so excited about having our 50th Annual Fly-in at Pearson Field Airport. Pearson was the location of our very first fly-in. So please join us in our celebration. The Fly-in is Friday, Saturday & Sunday, August 14, 15 & 16. There are no registration fees to pilots. After landing, please go to the NWAAC membership booth located just west of the museum to pick up your pilot information packet. Thanks to Bill Alley, Pearson Museum curator, there is no charge to pilots to visit the Museum while at the fly-in (normally $8). Your green wrist band (included in the pilots packet) will be your admission. If you would like your airplane judged, please put a green dot on your prop tag (included in your pilot packet), no later than noon on Saturday. As always, you are welcome to pitch a tent and sleep under the wings of your beautiful airplane. Showers will be available on Saturday only from 7:30 am - 6:30 pm at Marshall Recreation Center, about a mile from Pearson. Thanks to P.A.G.A. (Pearson Advocates for General Aviation), there will be a small white bus and driver available to transport pilots to showers & hotels. It will leave from a staging area on the street, just north of the museum. Marshall Recreation Center (where the showers are) charges $5 for showers, but this also includes the use of exercise equipment & a pool, if desired. Thanks to P.A.G.A., there is no charge for riding on this bus. For those of you who would like hotel accomodations and cab information, click here! As stated, the bus will also be making rounds to local hotels such as The Hilton, Comfort Inn & The Quay. There will be a pasta feed on the field Friday night at 5 pm for $10/person with the Dixieland band "Earthquake Ethel" performing from 5 pm - 7 pm. Breakfast will be from 7 am - 11am on Saturday for $7. It will include pancakes, eggs, sausage and a drink. On Sunday, breakfast will be served from 7 am - 10am. Biscuits and gravy will be served for $4. There will be an awards banquet on Saturday night at 6 pm on the field. Dinner will include 1/2 rack baby back ribs & chicken, BBQ beans, potato salad, slaw, rolls, dessert & drinks for $15. Only 150 tickets will be available, so please be sure to get them early. Bill Alley, Pearson Museum Curator and also writer of the book "Pearson Airfield" will be the guest speaker. A Swing/Jazz band "Swing Squadron" will be performing immediately afterwards. We're gonna have some fun! Click here for the COMPLETE pilot information sheet. You will receive this, along with other information, after you fill out the pilot registration form at the membership/registration booth. If you download the pilot registration form and bring it to the fly-in, we'll have a pilot packet we can immediately give you at our booth. Click here for a pilot registration form. Aircraft parking will be first come, first served. Please remember space is limited. For a field lay-out map, click here.
ATTENTION - Fly-in procedures!
We cannot stress the importance of the following information. Being next to PDX International has posed some challenges that we hope have been overcome. You MUST have a 2 way radio and a transponder is highly recommended. We have specific approach and departure guidelines that need to be carefully followed. We will also offer a staging area from our clubhouse in Scappoose, where an NWAAC volunteer will provide any necessary information. Aviation fuel is also available at Scappoose if you'd like to gas up prior to arriving at Pearson . But, we want you to support Pearson and there is fuel available at the Pearson FBO 24 hours with a credit card/lock box. But, there will NOT be a fuel truck on the field.
