Redlands Aerobatic Cup

The second annual Chapter 26 Redlands Aerobatic Cup will take place over Labor Day weekend at KREI. The judging line is located on the airport itself and the lobby will be open for shade/AC during the day. It is a wonderful contest venue if you have not experienced it yet.

Registration, tech inspection and practice is Friday, Sept. 2, with contest flights Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 3-4. Registration opens at 9:00 am Friday and goes through sunset. Mandatory contest briefings are at 7:00 am at the airport terminal Saturday and Sunday morning.

AIRPORT INFO

  • The contest box is immediately north of the airfield.
  • The traffic pattern will be moved to the south for the three contest days. This means left traffic for runway 26, which is the calm wind runway. Do not approach the airport directly from the north as you’ll be in the box.
  • REI has self-serve fuel very close to the contest parking area in front of the terminal building.
  • Bring chocks if you have them as portions of the ramp slope.
  • There are no hangars available.
  • Our wavier is only Fri – Sun, so there is no early practice in the box.

HOTEL

The contest hotel is the Ayres Redlands. We have a discount code (below), but you may be able to find better rates. There are several hotels in the same general vicinity in Redlands. Last year, the Ayres did sell out on the holiday weekend so book early. Click link below or call the hotel and ask for the International Aerobatic Club rate. There should be enough vehicles at Ayres to get people to/from airport.

Ayres Hotel Redlands, 1015 W. Colton Ave, Redlands, CA 92374, Phone: (909) 335-9024
