Operation Pumpkin Drop 2012

 

Esteemed aviators,

It is indeed that time again this year to start our annual pilgrimage to Maine to wipe up the advancing hordes of Cucurbita moschata, Sadly, our esteemed leader, Commander Pumpkinhead was declared missing in action sometime last year, it is suspected that he was killed in a major raid last fall. Of course the details of the action, and the outcome are far above any of our pay grades.

 

The good news, a new leader has valiantly stepped forward, a good Scotsman, hailing from parts north. Gentleman, let me introduce to you. Major. Jack O'Lantern! " AKA Skidmark "

This year we have scheduled our mass attack on Sanford Maine's pond #1, in conjunction with the town's pumpkin celebration. It was felt, that using the celebration as a guise, would allow us to safely ingress and egress to target with minimal loses to life and aircraft. Sept 22nd, will be the day of our attack, we have arranged billeting for each of you at the Oakwood Inn.

The Inn is located in downtown Sanford Maine, we have a local girl to take care of us there. Her code name is "Marie" you will refer to her by that name at all times, as understandably she could be put in mortal danger if the enemy were to find out she colludes with us. Her co-ordinates will follow, she is expecting your call for room reservations. Don't delay, as the rooms go quick. 945 Main Street Sanford, ME 04073, United States (207) 324-2160

The mass attack will take place no later than noon on the 22nd of September, 2012, afterwards, the aerobatic box will be available. If weather co-operates, and there is a requirement perhaps we could accommodate some training. Some of us will be flying up on Friday to prep our aircraft, as I'm sure Colonel Mozam will wish to calibrate his new attacking device. Gentleman, there will be no questions on this topic, as once again these things are far above your paygrade.

Event costs will be similar to last years, and we will have a banquet on the Saturday evening. Rumour has it our Judge will be in town, and is eager to met out justice to those who have escaped his grasp for so long, So fuel up, suck it up, and lets get a move on. Look to this source for more information as it becomes availabe. To register for the event go to the RPA web site or contact skidmk [ski...@gmail.com613 866-2790 or Rob Mortara rob...@robinhill.com 732 496-7663

For the UnFamiliar

 

For those pilots unfamiliar with the now famous (or infamous) Operation Pumpkin Drop, it is the low level (250’) bombing of a target, with GIB thrown pumpkins, in a small pond right in the center of Sanford, Maine (a small town near Kennebunkport and just over the Massachusetts state line). All this fun and it’s sanctioned by the FAA! Arrive Friday afternoon, an aerobatic box will be available both Friday and Saturday from 3-5pm and get ready to be on target Saturday at noon for the drop! Stay for the great dinner Saturday night and depart Sunday morning. Hope to see you there!
