There are also plenty of AMA, NFFS, FAC and SAM events. On the desert flying field in Eloy it will be cool in the mornings but it should warm up to about 70° during the day. The 2 fliers (FAI and AMA) and the entry form can be requested by sending an email to brocksarizona@cox.net . Please pre-enter.
