Bad timing for me. We are going to visit a grand daughter in Indianapolis on the 10th and 11th. We'll probably fly into your home base if the wx permits.

Bad timing for me, we are flying to Smith Mountain Lake for boating.

If they do offer outdoor seating and the weather is VFR, we will be there.

Well Bob, maybe I will get a chance to see you while you are here.

Our plans changed again. Looks like we will be flying into KEYE, home of Rick's Boathouse. Bad timing again, since I know you have had fly ins there in the past. Next time you do, I'll kill two birds with one stone, attend a BAC fly in and visit my grand daughter!

Mark, I hope the weather cooperates and I get to see you tomorrow.

I plan on making the big half hour flight from KTAZ with Nina.

Dan and Nina looking forward to seeing you both tomorrow. It will be a much shorter flight than it was for you to KTZR.

Third time is the charm they say. The weather finally cooperated and we were able to have this fly-in at Mattoon. Great turn out too. Seven attendees, Curt and Jane Lindauer, Dan Rothe and Nina Rossini, Mark and Lisa Anderson, and John Redmon. We had (3) Sierras and (1) Sundowner on the field. All enjoyed the outdoor dining at the Airport Steak House. Mark had the longest flight of 222.4 nm taking over 2 hours bucking a head wind.

Looks like GREAT times! A bunch of us use to fly over from KBMG on Sunday for breakfast back in the 70's. Great memories.....
