The date is set for Bowman Fields Ski plane fly in. It will be February 12[SUP]th[/SUP] and this year we are having a Chili and Chowder cook off from 10:00 to 2:00. Currently the field conditions are good and we have about an eight inch snow base and hope to get more snow in the upcoming weeks leading up to the fly in. I will update the runway conditions as the date gets closer.

Hope to see you there!
Larry

Just a little over a week away for our annual Ski Plane fly in. Our 2,000 ft runway is in great shape for Skis only. A couple of people have asked about fuel in the area. Twitchells is about twelve minutes (J3 time) south of Bowman and they have both auto fuel and 100LL, we will also have a few gallons of 100LL at Bowman Field if needed.

I'm glad someone in the lower 48 has snow. My poor cub is just sitting in the hanger on skis, waiting...... If my skis would fit inside the cub, I'd be tempted to put her back on wheels and fly all the way out there to join you guys. I'm jealous. Have fun.

Larry,
How much snow is there. More than 3-4 inches to stop a set of bushwheels?

John,
We had six inches of snow on top of a couple of inches of hard packed ice and snow on the field a couple of weeks ago and no snow since. One of the club members was going to give his bushwheels a try last weekend; I sent him an email to see how he made out I will report back when I get more info.

A Bowman Club member was doing take off and landings on Bushwheels today with no problems. He said there are a couple of tailwheel ruts in the hard packed snow that could possibly be a problem for smaller tiers.

It looks like the weather is going to be good on Sunday but cold.
