Sponsorship Update:

Over the past months, AWAC 2008 Inc. has been talking to potential sponsors for the 8th Advanced World Aerobatics Championship. The good news is that some have already committed to the event, and we thank them all for that. However, there are still plenty of sponsorship opportunities available. 

We ask that any individual or organizaition interested in sponsoring AWAC 2008 contact us via the Email Us link above as soon as possible to discuss our potential sponsorship opportunities and associated media benefits.

Dates & Logistics:

AWAC 2008 is now set for August 1st through the 10th at Pendleton Airport in Pendleton Oregon. Click here for information on the airport. This places the event in the middle of what is generally months of the dry, warm weather that is normal for the high desert of Eastern Oregon. Expect warm sunny days with some degree of wind - bring sunscreen, a hat and be ready to drink a lot of water while at AWAC!

Two hotels are being used in the Pendleton area: the Pendleton Red Lion and the Pendleton Best Western. These hotels are almost right next to each other. All available rooms in these hotels are currently reserved to AWAC 2008 Inc. and should be booked via our registration process (use the Registration link in the menu above. Please do not try to directly book with these hotels as you will likely get told them have no rooms available during the championship.

Our friend, Ann Price, was in a fatal accident on Saturday, February 16th.  She was flying her RV-6A out of Arlington to her property on Camano Is.

Services will be held @ Eastside Foursquare Church in Bothell - 1PM, Thursday, February 28th.

Ann competed for the first time in Primary at Apple Cup in 2004 and took home 2nd place.

 

Ann was a very sweet-natured person, an experienced & competent pilot, and an aviation lover of the very highest order.

We'll miss her very much.
