This will be our 3rd annual BAC KMCW get-together on the way to Oshkosh 2025. Nelson will get ground transportation and be the shuttle driver (arriving Wednesday, 16th). On call at 210-834-1991 - - send a text with your arrival time. The folks at the Mason City Airport (KMCW) host a REALLY nice BBQ on Thursday evening. Bring your own meat to throw on the grill (just join in on our trip to Walmart that afternoon) and also bring a simple side dish. We normally gather about 3 hours before sunset at the airport and enjoy a great social event. Lots of airplanes (photos are from last year's event at MCW). Don't forget to thank the hosts.
Details: (1) we typically stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites, Clear Lake, which is about 1/2 mile west of the airport, (2) best schedule is wheels up at 7 am Friday, July 18th. This gives us a chance to get a great camping spot on the N40 at Oshkosh (see my video of our flight of 4 BAC members on youtube - search nelsonamen5 ) when we arrive about 9 am (3) our flying adventures are looking for great flying weather, avoiding marginal conditions and extra stress. Please be flexible with your plans! (4) this is a great way to make your first trip to OSH with the fisk arrival and congo line.
