The J.T. Rice North Dakota Chapter of Pilots for Christ will be holding their 6th annual Fly-In Celebration and Golf Ball Drop at the Maddock Airport on Sunday, June 17. The Fly-In begins at 10:00 a.m. and is followed by an all-faiths service at 11:00 a.m., as well a complimentary lunch. Following lunch the group will drop 1,500 numbered golf balls from a helicopter at a target of a golf flag. The person who drew the number of the ball that lands closest to the target will win a new 2018 Polaris ATV 4 wheeler. Second place will win a drone. Others will win gift certificate prizes. The group will cap off the event with free airplane and helicopter rides for all.
Pilots for Christ serves the state of North Dakota, with free urgent air and ground transportation, for those needing ambulatory service, seeking treatment at distant medical locations or terminally ill patients seeking to return home to family, pastors and missionaries within the scope of their duties. The Pilots of Christ gives additional considerations to veterans, and the general population with valid urgent transportation needs.
There is an endless need to help others and provide urgent transportation. This is an invitation to all North Dakota’s, aviators, and supportive individuals to attend this event. Numbered golf balls may be purchased for the ball drop at the event or before from any Pilots for Christ member or at Maddock businesses. With a 3,000 foot cement runway, the airport can accommodate most all aircraft wanting to land in Maddock. The event will be a fun filled day for the whole family and a great way to spend Father’s Day. Everyone is welcome!
This will be a fun Fly-in for the whole family or group of pilots…See you on June 17.
