Next Weekend To The Bahamas Slated For Thursday, October 29
through Sunday, November 1
Bahamas Habitat said Monday that
it's not too late to join in the upcoming "Fly-In & Help Out"
weekend to Eleuthera in the Bahamas scheduled for Thursday, October
29th through Sunday, November 1st. The organization is
extending an open invitation to all interested aircraft owners and
pilots to join in this mission and says it is not too late to
register and join the group flight.
"Every trip we have pilots that hear about the Fly-In & Help
Out event just a week or two before and jump in to join the group
and enjoy an adventure and make a difference. What makes this
mission opportunity so unique for aircraft owners is that the
Bahamas are easily accessible by aircraft but are so in need that
it provides the ideal opportunity for a mission minded pilot to
give back to a neighboring community in an exciting and tax
deductible way," explained John Armstrong, President of Bahamas
Habitat.
Pilots and crewmembers participating in
the Fly-In & Help Out mission will meet at Fort Pierce, Florida
Airport (KFPR) on Thursday, October 29th for lunch and pilot
briefings prior to departing to Eleuthera. Lodging and
transportation on the island are arranged for the group.
"If you've ever wanted to fly your airplane to the Bahamas, this
is the perfect way to learn the ropes while supporting a good
cause," Armstrong said. "We had pilots join us from all over for
our last Fly-In & Help Out event and in every case the
experience really touched their hearts. We've had up to 14 aircraft
on previous trips. We can house up to 60 people at Camp
Symonette.
The trip is intended to teach people how to make the flight to
the Bahamas and connect them with the mission camp there so they
can help spread the word to their church and civic groups for
future mission opportunities."
