SUMMER FLYOUT, GENEVA, ILLINOIS – August 26 – 29, 2004

I hope you have the USPA Summer Flyout on your calendar by now. And you need to make your room reservation and send in your registration form now, also. The sooner the meeting planners know how many are coming, the better job they can do to help you have a great time.

All USPA members are invited to participate. And all board members (which includes the voting delegates from each state and local chapter) are needed to attend so that association business can officially be conducted. If you are a board member and cannot attend, please send me a proxy as soon as possible, or send one to a board member that you know will be attending. A proxy form follows the registration form for your convenience.

SUMMER FLYOUT, GENEVA, ILLINOIS – August 26 – 29, 2004

Geneva is one of several Illinois towns that was built on the Fox River that runs north and south through the area about 60 miles
west of Chicago. It lies just south of DuPage Airport and about the same distance from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
A manufacturing town using the Fox River, over the years, it has grown as an upscale bedroom community for Chicago, due in no
small part to the Union Pacific Railroad that connects from downtown Chicago and runs through Geneva on its way to the west.
The commuter service of the Union Pacific Railroad is now an integral part of METRA, the commuter rail service serving the
entire Chicago area.

The next neighboring town south of Geneva is Batavia. Batavia is the home of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, which
is under the United States Department of Energy. FermiLab (for short) will be the site of the Thursday evening FAA Safety
Seminar and the Saturday morning board meeting of USPA. After our Saturday morning meeting and a “dutch treat” lunch at the
FermiLab cafeteria, we will have a tour of the 6,800 acre site followed by an exciting program about what the Lab does.
Plans for the meetings, seminars and social activities offer something for all USPA members and guests. See the Schedule of
Activities following for our plans for the weekend.

Airport and FBO: DuPage Airport (KDPA) Coordinates: N41-54.47 W088-14.92 Elevation: 758 msl. Approaches: ILS, GPS
RNAV and VOR_ Discounted fuel is available at a self-service, credit card operated fueling facility. We expect to have
complimentary parking available at the DuPage Flight Center, but have not yet received confirmation. Rental cars are available on
the field. Call DuPage Flight Center at 1-800-208-5690 or 630-208-5600 to reserve a car.

Transportation: Local transportation for all planned activities will be provided by members of the NEPA Chapter of the Illinois
Pilots Association. For those who want to obtain a rental car, see contact information above

Hotel: Comfort Inn Geneva, 1555 East Fabyan Parkway, Geneva, IL 60134. Phone 630-208-8811; Fax 630-208-7844. Website:
www.comfortinngeneva.com Room rates are: $72.00 plus 9% tax for a king or 2 double beds. Complimentary deluxe continental
breakfast is included in the rate. Reservations must be made by July 31. (Tell them that you are with USPA to obtain this rate.)

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory: FermiLab is the home of the Tevatron, a one trillion volt atom smasher, the most
powerful in the world. FermiLab was approved for construction in 1965 to build a 200 GeV (200 billion electron volts) atom
smasher to study high energy physics. Over the years, major improvements have resulted in the Tevatron and its 1,000 GeV punch.
High energy physics scientists from the world over make use of this machine. It is believed that the energy level attained by the
Tevatron is the maximum needed to identify the smallest particle that present day theorists predict.
