Europa Fly-In: Petit Jean State Park, AR (KMPJ), May 18, 19, 20, 2018
This summers first Europa Club North America Fly In and Europa 25th Anniversary
Celebration will be held at Petit Jean State Park in central Arkansas, May
18-20.
Please save the date!
Petit Jean is a reasonable distance to fly from states in the southeast and
south-central
US. Weve purposely chosen this date to avoid the crowds after school
is out for the summer and to take advantage of cool Spring temperatures.
The park offers a number of hiking trails of various difficulty and length,
featuring waterfalls and overlooks. There is a lake for kayaking and fishing,
and a swimming pool. Camping is available at the airport including shower
facilities. The park has camping, cabins and lodge rooms (you can even rent a
yurt!). The website for the park is: http://www.petitjeanstatepark.com/.
Airport info is at http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMPJ
There are a number of backcountry airstrips nearby that would be great fly outs
including Gastons (3M0), Trigger Gap (17A which may not be listed, but is 3
miles south of 4M1) and Byrds (51AR). There is a good article about this area
in the January 2018 AOPA Pilot magazine.
Whether youre flying or driving, its a great opportunity to gather with other
Europa
owners / builders / enthusiasts. Hope you can join us!
