We will stage at Alliance Airport underneath the control tower.  There is a gate to go through.  If you get there prior to my arrival wait outside the gate untill I get there to get our clearance.  Many of us will be coming from DFW Airport as a group.  This group is the one's signed up for Snowball.  If you did not signup for Snowball then stage at the appropriate time and location at Alliance outside the gate.  Once I arrive and get clearance, we will stage on the tarmac in the order of the procession for departure.
After Kalitta arrives and the body is loaded we will proceed to our bikes and prepare for departure.  We will escort to Mt. Olivet Funeral Home on Sylvania and NE 28 th street in Fort Worth, where we will present honors as they remove PFC Staggs for the coach.  Upon dismissal, all Snowball riders will return to DFW Airport and resume the escorts to the Sheraton.  Watch your fuel, if you have to stop and get fuel, do it during a non escort period of time.  The same for lunch and supper.  Be sure to let your platoon Captain know your stopping so we can keep an accurate count of the riders.  We do not want to lose anyone.  This will be a very "Semper Gumby" day.  I thank you in advance for helping to make it safe and fun for all of us and especially the kids and families.
Remember all formations will be very tight.  So if you are uncomfortable with riding in a very tight formation in heavy traffic please see me and I will find something else for you to do.  There is plenty to do.  Safety is our most important concern.  
Also, for those signed up for Snowball, go to DFW Airport for Snowball staging time and we will leave from their to go to Alliance for the KIA mission.  If you did not sign up for Snowball go to Alliance and stage at the appropiate time outside to gate.  LEO will be provided.
Ride safe and I will see you on Thursday.
