Copperstate 2016 - Mesa, AZ - 10/28 & 10/29

[G-Man]

Anyone know about the Copperstate Fly-In? https://www.copperstate.org/

It's at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ, which is new.

Any feel for who attends?
What kind of stuff is there for forums, exhibitors, etc?

The AOPA Fly-In at Prescott, AZ, is just four weeks earlier and not far away. Will that hurt attendance?

Any camping at Falcon?

I don't believe so. This is a much more urban environment than Casa Grande.

I share the concerns that this environment combined with the location right under the class Bravo shelf may hurt attendance.

Saturday was busier with some nice formation flyovers and a fair number of interesting planes on the ramp.
