The Kansas Pilots Association is inviting all general aviation pilots to a fly-in at the Greensburg Airport on May 2nd (Sat) to salute the citizens of Greensburg, as they continue to rebuild their community following the devastating tornado on May 4, 2007. The fly-in will include a barbecue lunch with all the fixins. Money collected from the lunch wil be donated to a Greensburg support fund.
This a great opportunity for the general aviation community to come out and show they care!!!!

Friday's Update (1 May 09) - Greensburg Airport
1) Friday’s update, from the resident pilot in Greensburg, is that their turf runway is in good condition. It’s drained off, and is firm. They just finished mowing the runway and taxiway this afternoon. As long as it doesn’t rain tonight, it will be able to accept aircraft on Saturday!!!!!
2) Early Saturday morning, I will call again for a final runway update. This information will be recorded on my home answering machine (316-721-4366), starting at 7:30 a.m.
3) HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART: Rain or shine, runway or not, we’re having the event……it may end up a “Drive Out”, rather than a Fly-in.
4) In addition to the barbecue lunch provided by JD’s Barbecue, it would be great if you could bring along a dessert “donation” (pies, cakes, cookies, etc.) to round out the meal!!!!
5) If you would still like to fly to a hard surface runway nearby, we can arrange to pick you up at the Pratt Airport (PTT) FBO. In order to make it back to Greensburg in time for the opening ceremonies, the pick-up time will be no later than 10:45. For pickup, call Al Madero (316-644-0801) or Ken Johnson (316-200-5069).
6) As members of the General Aviation Community, we need your help. This is our opportunity to show support to the citizens of Greensburg!!!!
Thanks For Your Support
