One poster suggested setting up temporary air/ground traffic control.
Unless you expect to be the size of Air-Adventure, I don't see that
it's needed. I've been to local fly-ins with 120+ planes flying in and
out of smaller airports (MKT, 0K7, SPW, etc.) within a few hours
without need for temporary traffic control.


I agree, and I'd further add that you shouldn't do it unless you have a
professional air traffic controller. I've been to fly-ins where
well-intentioned non-professionals on the unicom just couldn't stop
talking and arriving aircraft couldn't get a word in to announce
themselves.


Been to ultralight flyins with a GA one, having somebody tell you whats
geauxing on helps, especially when the UL's don't have radios...
