    Default AZ Backcountry Fly-in/camp, Mother's day weekend, Young, Arizona

    PLEASANT VALLEY
    FLY-IN CAMP
    AT YOUNG AZ
    (24AZ)

    May 11-13


    The Arizona Pilot’s Association and the Recreational Aviation Foundation
    Invite Backcountry Pilots and aviation enthusiasts out for a good time!

    You won’t want to miss this one as we enjoy the beautiful Young area and its people. The community will also participate in the Saturday afternoon Mother’s Day Eve potluck dinner and music around the campfire, so bring a dish and your instrument.
    Sunday morning breakfast provided for pilots!



    Arrival: If you like, a few aircraft will be arriving Friday afternoon and most arriving Saturday Morning. Plan on high density altitude.

    Activities: Depending on weather, and pilot discretion, we plan an aerial tour of cliff dwellings, canyons, etc.

    Of course, the Potluck dinner on Saturday afternoon with music and fun around the campfire.

    The APA and RAF will also be installing an official fire ring and a shade at the airstrip, and other maintenance items, so we’ll take all the help we can get on these activities.

    Please RSVP ASAP as we need a count for Sunday’s breakfast!
