The IFGAC 2020 Landing Competition is here!
Welcome
Hello From IFGAC!
For a while now, several members of IFGAC have been mentioning and pushing us to do Landing Competitions as events. We were heasent at first because of the logistics of such an event, but now with the recent rework of the Cessna 172, and growing interest in landing competitions, we have decided to put one on!
Where is it?
For this event, we will be heading to New York, specifically Westchester County! I have this locations for a multitude of reasons, but the main one being its proximity to New York City and KJFK Airport. It is also a beautiful place for a landing competition.
The Logistics
We will be departing from KFRG (Farmingdale) in groups, three to be exact, so that we can maintain good spacing and give the judges ample time to rate the pilots landings. We will be landing at KHPN (Westchester) and parking at the GA spot assigned to you, so make sure to check out a map of the airport BEFORE spawning in.
Special Guest
VAC Virtual F-22 Demo Team
As the competition kicks off, we will be greeted with a performance by none other than VAC’s Virtual Major @Nate_Schneller, callsign “Tinnitus” and the Virtual F-22 Demo Team from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, with an awe-inspiring demonstration of raw power, courtesy of the most feared combat aircraft in the world.
BOEING C-17 GLOBEMASTER III DEMONSTRATION TEAM
The C-17 Demonstration Team representing the men and women serving in the Air Force Air Mobility Command performs at Airshow events located across North America. The C-17 Demonstration team is based out of Dover AFB, Delaware. The C-17 is the Air Force’s premier heavy lifter, capable of landing in short or unimproved airstrips and carrying cargo loads equivalent to jumbo jet air freighters. The C-17 is able to perform short takeoffs and landings on concrete, asphalt, dirt, sand and even ice. The C-17 will demonstrate is maximum performance capabilities during the show; it’s minimum radius turning ability, highest and lowest flying speeds and a demo of it’s assault landing capability.
USAF Heritage Flight
The Air Force’s Heritage flight program was created by the leaders of Air Combat Command in 1997 to honor the men and women who have served and currently serve in the USAF. Heritage Flights are performed at airshows and special events in the United States and around the world. Formations normally include modern day aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and F-16 Viper, and vintage warbirds like the P38 Lightning.
Come before the show, at around 2120Z, to see them in action. The demo and heritage flight will be on the casual server, but please stick to the spot at KFRG that you have been given.
