    Default Kitfox Factory Fly In - 2017

    Its a new year and some exciting things going on...

    First; is the scheduling of the 2017 Kitfox Fly-in! We will be holding it at the Greenleaf Air Ranch.. Greenleaf is approximately 7 air miles from S66, about 10 air miles from KEUL and about 31 air miles from KBOI.
    It is a private Air Ranch and there will be plenty of aircraft parking and vehicle parking.. even room for motor homes...
    Plenty of areas to camp.. and we will have room in a couple of hangars for bunking. Please see attached and we hope to see you Sept 1st - Labor Day Weekend.
    Please RSVP to Kitfox-fly-in-2017@kitfoxaircraft.com so we can get a head count for the BBQ dinner.

    I hope I can make it this time. Better start planning the 16 mile X-country.

    I would like to know what our fuel options are. I mostly run auto fuel with 10% 91 oct. , so that would be nice.

    Regarding fuel:
    Caldwell (10 miles from Greenleaf) has avgas for $4.65
    Nampa (16 miles) has avgas for $4.66 and 91 octane Mogas for $3.52.

    I am base at Nampa and use the Mogas all the time. It is at the pump and does not have any ethanol.

    Personally I would suggest Nampa as your fuel stop because the airport is usually less busy. Caldwell has helicopter training that uses taxiway A for their runway. What this means is all fixed wing traffic does their patterns to the north and all helicopters do their traffic to the south and use taxiway A. Runway 30 has right traffic at Caldwell.

    Other fuel options:
    Mountain Home (65 miles SE) has avgas for $4.15
    Payette (30 miles N) has Mogas for $3.35
    Weiser (37 miles N) has avgas for 4.49
