What to bring with you on your fly-along
- Personal Identification (drivers license, SHC/LPCH ID badge)
- The keys to your car (we'll explain when you get here)
- Cloths to wear under flight suite (all cotton preferable)
- Must wear sneakers or boots (absolutely NO clogs, sandals, dress shoes, or Z coils)
- Cell phone
- Money for lunch or snacks
- Highly portable snack enclosed in wrapper (ie: Power Bar) because there's no guarantee we'll stop long enough for lunch.
- A book or personal project to work on (or we probably won't fly at all and you'll get bored)
