Organizers Expected to Plan for 2005 Event
Continuing rain at the Dinwiddie County Airport (PTB) and a
forecast dominated by the approaching Hurricane Ivan has prompted
of the Virginia Council of EAA Chapters to cancel the 2004 Virginia
State EAA Fly-In (VAEAA) this weekend (September 18-19) at
Dinwiddie County Airport (PTB). This is the second year in a row a
hurricane adversely affected the event. Last year, Hurricane Isabel
severely curtailed VAEAA’s planned activities and, having
learned some hard lessons, fly-in officials decided to pull the
plug rather than try to run a potentially unsafe, substandard
event.
