Event Details and Registration

Have you ever thought about flying your aircraft around the world?  Damon Meyer and Izzy Briggs are planning a joint around the world trip in 2018, flying their two amateur-built aircraft whose designs are based on the Burt Rutan Long-EZ. Damon owns a Cozy III and Izzy is building a Cozy Mark IV. Together they have been doing extensive research and planning for this special trip. More than normal flight planning, considerations include weather and choosing the best time-of-year, possible special logistics at some more remote airports along their path (whether a prime or alternative stop), as well as obtaining government permissions for overflights or landings. Learn from their planning, including research into using an HF radio for this journey. Read more about Damon and his Cozy III at this link:  www.cozyroundtheworld.com/the-project.html and follow the news (link at the bottom of that page). Damon will have his Cozy III on display and it is equipped with the HF radio antenna assembly which is a key piece of equipment for the trip around the world next year.

No GPS address for airport GATE 4, so when near 400 Holt Rd, follow the EAA106 signs. Ideally, please arrive between 9:00-10:30 when we will have someone manning the gate for entry.  Outside those times, please call the number on the paper taped to the yellow post for someone to come let you in.
