EAA493 Mailing List: The EAA Ford Tri-Motor is Coming to San Angelo!

[donald (donald]

EAA has agreed to waive the sponsorship fee of $4,000 for the San Angelo tour 
stop.  That means we will participate in sharing a portion of what is raised on 
every ticket that is sold.  This is a great opportunity for us to enjoy working 
with the EAA Ford Tri-Motor.  You will be able to go online and buy a ticket 
for a local flight for $70, saving $5 off the walk up fee. If you are 17 and 
under the cost is only $50 to fly in a 1929 airplane for about twenty minutes. 
Please reply to this email if you are available to help load passengers and 
provide safety guidance to the people wishing to ride on the Ford Tri-Motor.  
We need to be certain that we have enough help to cover two shifts per day for 
I think four hours each. The dates are November 13 to 16. If I understand 
correctly, they will arrive on Thursday, November 13 and will want to meet our 
chapter members that day to show us the Ford airplane. On Friday and Saturday 
the pilot will arrive at Skyline at 8AM and would appreciate help in 
preflighting the airplane. Flights will be from 9AM to 5PM. Additional help is 
requested after the last flight of the day to keep our Tri-Motor pristine for 
the next day. 
There is a 15 page booklet on PDF that I will send out that explains how to 
safely load passengers and everything else about the tour. 
When replying to volunteer to help, please state when you will be available so 
I can make a schedule.
