Saturday, April 20: Central Georgia Peach Fly In Cameron Field Airport, Ft Valley, Georgia (GA81)(pvt.) (UNICOM 122.9). On
April 20th, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, there will be one of those rare fly ins that your wife will
want to go to. ( That is if the pilot is the husband! ) Lane Peach Packing plant, ( lanesouthernorchards.com
) sits in a peach orchard and has a great restaurant in the front. Not
only do they have the best peach cobbler you have ever tasted but they
also have peach ice cream, etc. Lane does pecans too. The restaurant has
a great buffet line or you can order your meal. Also
there is a gift shop with all kinds of southern delicacies and fun items
and you can sit in one of the 40 or 50 big wooden rockers across the
front porch while you snack. For those driving, Fort Valley is just west of I-75 from Exit 142. But here
is the best part for the pilots, there is a grass strip directly in
front of the shop so while you enjoy your dessert you can watch planes
come and go directly over you.
I'm Milford Shirley of FlightTime Radio ( flighttimeradio.com ) and we are planning on broadcasting our show there live. For
flight planning the strip is called Cameron, it is a north, south runway
and the identifier is GA81. The strip is 3,000 feet. Perry airport, (
KPXE ) is about 2 miles directly SE so you should be a little cautious
for traffic but this should be a fun little Saturday destination. By the
way, the Lane Packing Plant says that for any pilot and spouse they will give you a free
dessert or 10% off your meal.
The event is planned for 10 to 4. If anyone is planning on joining us
please drop us a note if you can, but it's not necessary -
milford@flighttimeradio.com See you in Georgia, Milford

This will be a very relaxed event primarily for pilots, airpark

the large hangar located about mid-field of our 3,500 (about 3,000’

aircraft parking. We’re located near the town of Gilbert, SC just off

to come to Greenville,” stated Tim Bishop, Director of Museum
Development for the Upcountry History Museum. "During WWII,
Greenville Army Airbase (now SCTAC) was a training center for
B-24 and B-25 aircraft and it will be an exciting opportunity to see a
B-24 flying over Greenville again,” added Bishop.

(yes, you get "stick" time in the P-51). The Collings Foundatoion
is a 501(c)3 so the majority of your flight experience is a
tax-deductible contribution.
The planes will be next to the
new aviation themed community public park at GMU, by the Runway Cafe's
apron, which is on the South Ramp of the Greenville Downtown Airport,
21 Airport Road Ext., Greenville, SC 29607.
