Hi Folks,

RE: KBFD - Bradford Regional - PA
Saturday - March 17th @ 11:00

OK - time to blow the cobwebs off those old tin flying machines - for those of you who take the winter off... Let's try something new - at least from my perspective... Several folks have expressed interest in KBFD (Bradford PA)... They are known to have good chow on the field and friendly FBO's... While PA is a "Northeastern State" - it's definately the wild wild west for our New England centric group... It's also adjacent to two other regions - so it's time to get out there and represent... Let's make sure we have some visitors from those adjacent regions as well... Heck - I don't even know what's on the other side of PA - is that MT ??? LOL... So come one - come all - hopefully we'll have some nice weather...

Hope to see some new faces...

Hey - Let's be careful out there...

Regards,
Scott

Wearing the Green or not, I'll be there if the weather cooperates.

You are brave souls indeed. Anyhow you have to check out the Kinzua Bridge, which is approximately 5 miles to the south east of Bradford. Check it out online. What you see is the direct result of a spring microburst that occurred a number of years ago. Ground zero was about 1/4 mile from the northwest side of the bridge. All of the trees were knocked down away from the epicenter in every direction up and over the ridges. Quite impressive. I took pictures for the CAP right after it happened.

Hey I'm up for it. I won't be getting any points though as my sport is based at KBFD. But I am all for helping out if I can. I will be heading to the airport this week and I will find out the restaurant hours. I know they aren't open but a few hours a day. I might be able to get some ground transport as well.

Hi Gary,

Sounds good - nothing like have the home field advantage - we could use all the help we can get... If you could confirm that they are open at our planned time - it would be greatly appreciated...
