1. Purchase Poker Hands:
- hands are 2 for $15, or 5 for $30
- purchase from a friend who is a 99 or at the first airport you visit on Poker Run day
- you can contact bccoast99s@gmail.com for more info
- if you’re unable to fly the Poker Hands yourself, let a friend help or contact bccoast99s@gmail.com and a volunteer pilot will fly it for you.
2. Get in your plane and fly to your first airport of 5. The order in which you visit your selected 5 airports does not matter, as long as you’re in Pitt Meadows, your 5th airport, by 3 pm to hand your Poker Hands in to the judges.
- possible airports to visit:
- CYXX Abbotsford (by Shell AeroCentre *** note new location***),
- CZBB Boundary Bay (in front of Pacific Flying Club),

3. Find the volunteer table at each of your 5 selected airports and visit them to draw your cards. The volunteer will place a stamp on your Poker Hand sheet corresponding to the card you drew. Then, head to the next airport to draw your next cards.
4. After parking your plane at your 5th and last stop, Pitt Meadows, by 3pm, walk to the judges table to draw your last Poker Cards and hand in your winning Poker Hands.

Questions? Is Pitt Meadows counted as 1 of the 5 required stops? And, what is the starting time?

Sorry, newbie here, must one visit all of the airports, or only 5? It isn’t clear in the instructions.
April 29, 2016 at 8:40 am
Hello Katy! You only need to visit 5 of the airports, whichever 5 you like, as long as you are in Pitt Meadows (which counts as one of the 5) by 3pm. 🙂 Good luck! 🙂
