RAFFLE & T-SHIRTS, ETC.
Our raffle typically has several thousand dollars worth of prizes, including helicopter kits. Last year a Trex 500 was included in the raffle. Prizes are donated by our sponsors; please let them know you appreciate it!
We are offering pre-registered pilots one 2013 Phoenix Fun-Fly Event T-shirt. Pre-registered pilots may also order additional T-shirts if desired. All pre-registered pilot’s names will appear on the shirt. The deadline for receiving your pre-registration/shirt order is March 1st, 2013. We need several weeks to ensure we get the shirts printed on time. You can also buy shirts at the field, but quantities and sizes will be limited.
CAMPING
Due to recent changes by the Maricopa Flood Control District, on-site camping is no longer allowed. Please contact the CD concerning camping locations in proximity to the field.
