PhanCon 2009
October 27-29, 2009

Holloman AFB, NM 

Phantom, Raptor, and Tornado fans:

The date has been changed to Oct 27,28 and 29 for the Phantom Society's annual "PhanCon" event. This year it will be at Holloman AFB in Alamogordo, New Mexico. It was originally slated for Oct 6, 7,and 8, but PAO asked the group to push it back a bit. This is actually a good thing, because only three days prior to PhanCon, is the Holloman AFB Open House / Airshow, which will feature the F-22 demo, along with a Heritage Flight that will have both the Raptor and an F-4 Phantom, along with a P-51.

To sign up, check out the group's website, www.f4phantom.com

I believe the deadline for signing up is Oct 13th. I will be attending both the airshow and PhanCon. I love going to this location - not just because of the F-4s, Raptors, and Tornadoes, but it's also a great excuse to camp under the stars at White Sands Nat'l Monument.
