I will be attending that event also I'm flying into double eagle and driving over with some friends
You better make it a 2-day flight out of it, I have a short 2.5 hour flight, from 4KS. One word of caution if you're coming in late in the afternoon the Mountain Wave just east of Santa Fe and east of the mountains can get extremely rough and severe

I plan on flying in on Friday, for the 1st day’s events. Then fly out the same evening. I live in Albuquerque so it’s a local flight for me.
Anyone need local advice please ask.

good advice...
Thanks all, I agree that it's a LONG ways. Also agree that pilot fatigue is, quite literally, a killer. But I'm going with at least one other, maybe two other pilots, both IFR certified and one of them has considerable 337 time. So it's probably not as audacious as it might sound. The Mountain Wave thing would be new for me, as would taking off from any airstrip higher than 500'MSL.
This will be my first fly-in. Do they give awards for comming the furthest distance? Might we win? Tim
