Notes
_____

1.  The fly-in will be cancelled if the MSP FT
calls for less than 3000/5 at any time Saturday
8AM until 10 PM.  I will leave a message on my
home answering machine, (507) 281-1689, with 
a definite decision by 6AM.

2.  Overnight at MSP is $11 and no tie-downs are
available.  If you plan to stay overnight, you will
likely want to ferry your plane later in the day to
one of the several satellite airports in the Twin Cities.

3.  Landing fee at MSP is $5.

4.  VFR flight following or an IFR flight plan are
    strongly suggested to ease your sequencing into
    the field.

5.  All pilots (including non-instrument rated pilots)
    should obtain a copy of the MSP airport diagram 
    in the NOAA or Jepps instrument approach plate
    book so as to be familiar with the airport
    taxiing environment upon landing.

6.  As has been mentioned already on the net, the
    controllers are very willing to work with 
    lightplane and/or VFR traffic.  However, if you
    are not completely comfortable with relatively
    high traffic/high radio work situations you may
    wish to gain such experience locally and/or 
    travel to the fly-in with a more experienced
    pilot and/or fly into a satellite airport
    and share a plane or car with a fellow
    netter.


7.  Thanks to all listed who have volunteered to help
    with the arrangements, including John O'Shaugnessy,
    John Renwick, Robert Granvin, Tim Aanerud, and anyone else I 
    may have neglected to mention.
