Hi Folks,
OK - better weather is here so lets not have anymore excuses... Tom has been snapping the NERD whip - and - we need to get out there and represent... I still don't have my plane issues resolved so it's really hard to get motivated for fly-ins... As many people know - LOL - I have driven to fly-ins before... So instead of throwing a specific fly-in on the calandar - let's start it off on where would you guys like to fly this year ??? I think the most attended event I've seen is the trip we had to Nantucket - it was a popular destination - and some folks flew a long way to get here... I think Alan holds that record - - - - NO - correction - ED FLEW ALL THE WAY UP HERE !!! Personally - as a fan of Wings - that was an added atttraction for that location... Maybe we should try one in Martha's Vinyard or Block Island this year ?
So just to throw out my plans for this year...
It's a start - feel free to throw your choices into the ring with a little justification - and - let's see what we can put together... Glenn had a great idea - if you are going somewhere - even on short notice - and - wouldn't mind some company - even on short notice - just throw it out here on the forum as an informal "pop-up" fly-in... Might give someone else the excuse to get in the plane...
Regards,
Scott

So just to throw out my plans for this year...
- Block Island RI - KBID - Block Island - nice island hop for the North Eastr's...
- Rockland ME - KRKD - Knox County Regional - right down the road from one of the most pictueresque towns in New England...
- Tonawanda PA - N27 - Bradford County - short hop for a nice brakfast of lunch - pretty country - and - a nice looking restaurant within walking distance...
- Wallkill NY - N45 - Kobelt - hoping the Rotary Club puts on Wheels and Wings again this year... While the weather wasn't so good for flying - the wheels side had a pretty big showing with some great food as well...
- Mid-Atantic - I'd like to schedule one close to the border of the mid-atlantic region - as those guys have been really active as well... Figure we would have a great turn out and get to see some new/old faces...
- Glens Falls NY - KGFL - Bennett Memorial - Seems as if this location had a NE fly-in in the past with a pretty good turn out (before my time) from the pix in the library... I've been there - nfood is supposed to be good - didn't eat myself - in another nice area...
- Montgomery NY - KMGJ - Orange County - While no longer my home base - and - only a short hop - the new grill is supposed to be good... I haven't eaten there myself yet - but - it's a nice centrally located airport...
It's a start - feel free to throw your choices into the ring with a little justification - and - let's see what we can put together... Glenn had a great idea - if you are going somewhere - even on short notice - and - wouldn't mind some company - even on short notice - just throw it out here on the forum as an informal "pop-up" fly-in...
