FlyerTalk's goal is to raise in excess of $5K. If we do, a name will be randomly drawn and the person will receive a ride in Radial Velocity’s T-6 plane.
The ride will be given at Creve Coeur Field (five miles from St. Louis Lambert Airport). The winner should plan to take it by the end of November 2011. The airplane generally goes through an eight-month maintenance phase each year. Delaying it past November would likely result in a one-year delay.
Specific times and dates of the ride are to be coordinated between the winner and John Lohmar. The winner will provide their own transportation and lodging (if needed) to St. Louis.
Raffle donations will be made through the
scholarship fund's website. You MUST MARK your donation as from a FlyerTalk member.
The deadline for raffle donations will be midnight September 10.
The more you give, the greater your chance of winning.
◦ $25 = 1 chance
◦ $50 = 4 chances
◦ $100 = 10 chances
◦ $200 = 40 chances
◦ $300 = 60 chances
◦ $400 = 80 chances
◦ $500 = 100 chances
It’s a bit tricky to be sure that FlyerTalk gets credit. You have to go all the way thru to the Paypal page. There you will find a link that says “Add special instructions to recipient”. Click it and write “FlyerTalk – handle.” Captain Denny will be tracking donations and reporting back.
Contributions go straight to the fund. Captain Denny will keep track of those given by FlyerTalkers. The winning name will be drawn at the Scholarship dinner in Denver on Sept 11.
Please give even if you know you can't take the ride. It's a worthy cause. Make a special note "FlyerTalk - no ride'.
