Bensen Days promo video

any chatter about rescheduling?
With sun n fun pushing out, I'm toying with the idea of heading down. I'm not a gyro pilot but I'm curious and have wanted to go check it out down there but with it so close to sun n fun it's hard to swing the time off for both!
 
PRA has been receiving phone calls asking if it will be rescheduled to match Sun N Fun.
Who is in charge of Bensen Days this year?. I'd like to talk to them.
 
Just an 'outsider' I'd actually hope for it not to align with sun n fun...I can't do both so close together
not sure I'd travel down for it at the current schedule though....with the current hysteria....
 
I have it repeated over and over that Bensen days 2020 is a GO ... on the original schedule! 24-28 March ..... looks like I have to load my gyro tomorrow due to our expected wet week in KS ..... I plan to head off on Friday!
 
Things moving rapidly ...... as the travel & crowd-restrictions develop ...as I suspected( after reading comments from an emergency management officer ...on an RV blog-site!) ...today I made the decision to stay home from both the FL trip and my planned month in Australia (May).....I learned that on arrival down-under I would have to self-isolate for 14 days ....uhmmm ...in a bare apartment ...with no way to get food???(go grocery shopping!). screw THAT ...I'm staying home in KS with my long established "prepper-supplies!" ...lots of things to do on farm & garden & home & solitary gyro-flying to do here! ....looking forwards to a successful containment of the virus-crises in the next month & (maybe ??) B-Days will get moved to the week before SnF .... a lot can change in month ....with the isolation tactics & warm-weather! Qantas offer fee-free ticketing changes and future travel credits ...which works for my November visit! ....as dear Jim used to say "Man makes plans ...God laughs" !!! stay well - stay safe & see you at ROTR ...Mentone ( &??? resched. B-Days May 2020 or April/2021). o_O:rolleyes:
 
At this point I doubt SilverLight Aviation (AR-1) will be going to 2020 Bensen Days. We are limiting operations for now for the next couple of weeks. Doubt I would feel great about giving new people rides in AR-1 given the situation that is evolving everyday and the trajectory of this thing in Florida is certainly upwards. Per CDC recommendation we would likely not attend this year

well that seals it for me.... taking a hard look at the AR-1 was a big driver for me wanting to come...... Don't blame you a bit through, and I applaud you for slowing your operations

You can still come see AR-1 if you are not sick at our facility one on one. They postponed Bensen days till end of April before Sun N Fun yesterday
