WesTex New Mex Formation Clinic, December 5-7th. 5T6

[RocketAviator]

Pilots,

It is just a month away and the first ever WesTex Mooney Formation clinic is shaping up to be a premiere venue for formation clinics.  We have developed tracks for newbies, intermediate, and advanced skills.  Whether you are new to the concepts of formation, need a dust off, or want to further your education, this IS the place to be.  We want you “IN”.

 

We have gathered experienced formation pilots from several states to get  you safely introduced to the skills of formation flying”.  They come to share their passion and experience.  Our safety pilots will present ground school and small group didactic lesions as well as facilitate your training in the air.  Additionally, opportunities to observe formation flights will be part of  our curriculum.

 

With just over a month away this clinic is shaping up to be one of the best Formation Flight Clinics for Newbies, Intermediate and Advanced skill sets around!

Our primary goal is to introduce, continue to grow the Mooney to Oshkosh Caravan efforts but the clinic is open to our Aviation Brothers and their appropriate aircraft as well. 

 

Mooney Caravan works closely across the US with our Bonanza to Oshkosh Brothers.

 

As of now we are expecting 2 to 4 Top Arizona Warbird Formation Pilots (inside source says one is bringing a Real P51!)

 

We have negotiated a very special low rate of $80 per night King room at the new Holiday Inn, includes all the extras (full breakfast, WIFI, Shuttle service).  Maybe most important NO cancelation fees should weather or something else come up!

Discount on Fuel at the local FBO!

Make no mistake we take ALL Formation Flight VERY SERIOUS… SAFTEY IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE #1.

In addition to some of the most challenging and fun flying, there will social & fun activity including: 

• Private Tour of the War Eagle Museum
• A Pilot Social Event to include a TexMex Meal I’m betting like nothing you have ever tasted, cooked right at the event and you can chase it down with an authentic South or North of the Border adult beverage if you choose!

 

For all that can, do bring your wives!  Several of the Girls are joining up for some great excursions (U know the kind that cost MONEY and all!)

 

All Topped off with a Saturday Night TexMex Pilot Social and meal.

 

Cost is $75 (covers food and adult beverages, and more)!  Trust me we don’t make any money on these clinics, it is purely a labor of passion and only made possible through a tremendous amount of time, effort from a large number of Pilots that support General Aviation.

 

At this point we need to get the head count and experience level from each of you that are planning to attend so we can organize the safety pilot and Sorte schedule, meals etc.:

Please indicate, Newbie, Intermediate or Advanced.

It is also very important that you ALL go to the mooneycaravan.com website and download the "Mooney Caravan Formation Guide". 

Read this so that the briefing on Thursday night will be a review and reinforcement of what you need to know about for the clinic, instead of the first time that you are seeing this information.

5T6 Dona Anna Jet Port (Just West of El Paso)

 

Recommended arrival Thursday. Thursday Night Mandatory Newbies Briefing, Friday, Saturday and possibly Sunday morning if schedules permit and Pilots desire.

This is a great way for all you Mooney Caravan pilots to maintain your skills and keep current with formation flying.  Don't just wait until next Oshkosh AirVenture to get current.  This is also a path to add new formation and flying skills to your basic knowledge.  

 

For those of you on the fence, dive in and get a good exposure in basic station keeping and formation basics.  You will like it and you just might find yourself in the Mooney Caravan to Oshkosh in 2015.  This is a great group of guys and gals.  If you don't do this now, you will just be another year older when you do!

What are the odds of one in New England or the central East Coast? These look like a blast, just a little far away.

We will be having a Mooney Caravan Northeast clinic next spring.  The date is not set yet.  Monitor www.mooneycaravan.com for upcoming dates.  Will post on Mooneyspace when all is known.

With 13 Confirmed Pilots and 4 Confirmed Spouses, WesTex is shaping up to be a Premier Formation Clinic!

However the most important question is "Are you IN yet"?

 

Come join us, I found formation flight to be the most exhilarating flying I have ever experienced!
