IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

2008 Skymaster Meeting & Fly-in to be held in Kalamazoo
June 11 -14, 2008.

Registration now open! To go directly to the Fly-in Web Page click here.

If you are thinking about coming, you might come, or it's a possibility, let us know so that we can get an early estimate of attendees. We are looking for people who would like to talk about their Skymaster.  Maybe you can share tips on fuel conservation, maintenance, or upgrades.  Our list of presenters is growing, and this is going to be exciting.  The tentative list is:  Don Nieser, who we all know owns The Prop Shop, in addition to owning Commodore Aerospace, the first place for parts.  In addition, DeltaHawk will talk about their Diesel Skymaster.  L-3 will talk about StormScope and Skywatch. Cristina Khuly will show us the movie "The Shootdown".  Airwolf will talk about filters, air-oil seperators, and vacuum pumps.  Xerion will show their CRM2120 engine instrument package.  GRT will show us PFD/MFD's . C&D will talk about aircraft heaters.  Tom Van Hare will talk about Brothers to the Rescue.  What we really need is people who will listen to all these wonderful folks, and make this a great event.  Thank You.

Wonderful accomodations in downtown Kalamazoo, at the centrally located Radisson Hotel.

But wait, there's more!!
