Ardie Carrick (Air Races volunteer coordinator) contacted me and asked if we could get some volunteers to be Wing Walkers for the show planes. This is a fun and important job and a good event for the NMPA and our EAA chapters to show our support. We have 4 Wing Walker volunteers already but they could use 16. If you volunteer for a minimum of three days for at least 4 hours per day then you get a free weekly pass. You may also get a free week stay in the volunteer RV sites which may have electric. There will be plenty of dry camping RV sites for non-volunteers. They will have porta-potties and water trucks. You can fly in and camp at a camping area close by the aircraft parking but there will be no airplane under the wing camping. There will be a shuttle to get you and camping gear to the site. It looks like private airplanes will have to arrive before 8 am and depart after the last event (~5:30 pm).

If you are interested in being a Wing Walker, please contact me directly.
