For the July Fly-in, we have decided to return to Hanksville, Utah for a reboot of the April Canyonlands event. To spice things up a little, there is an updated scenery package for the original seven airstrips, and even two additional strips available if you want to venture a little farther East.
This time around, there will be no time limit. The challenge will simply be to find, and successfully land, at each airstrip. As before, we will start and finish at Hanksville. Otherwise, the area is yours to explore as you wish. The flight briefing starts at 8:00pm EDT (0000z).
