The Fly In & Air Fair event dates are generally fixed.  The 'rain date' for the California 'EOC Fly-out' events will normally be the following weekend however; contact the Wing Leader or Director for details.  For the EOC Fly-out events, plan to arrive for brunch (10:00 AM to 12:00 noon), with most departing around 2:00 PM although this is entirely a personal choice.  If you have a friend to fly to the event with, you are encouraged to do so (passenger or an Ercoupe 'flight').
