Chris,
None of my business really, but I would not give Bob credit for the bus ride either. However, we are not into promoting hotel stays at BAC, we are into promoting flying. That is just what Bob did, he saved hotel expense and spent it on flying like any good pilot (BAC'er) should do. I personally would give him credit for both trips! He was flying a Beechcraft both times right? We promote flying our Babe Beeches, not hotels, right? Well, so why not credit both trips?
Just my extremely (not so humble
) humble opinion!

Chris,
Although I did not meet up with anyone, and my plans changed dramatically at the last minute, I did fly to San Jose International, parked Atlantic, and did attend the AOPA, convention. Please give my miles to Bob. SBA to SJC to SBA = 412 NM.

Hey guys, I didn't make the rules! Plead these propositions with el Presidente Cloyd Van Hook - meister!
:lol: :lol:
So, I have Marshal Whatley, Rick Spann and Bob Lewis miles. Chris M. did you fly? Need to hear from hifiguy (Richard S.)! Anyone else due some PT miles needs to get their report to me or Dan Jonas by Wednesday.
TYIA-

Okay fine, you did not make the rules. On Friday morning, I flew from RHV, to RHV; I am guessing a good 20 miles. Hey, I did take-off, and I did come back and land. I then went to the Convention Center; you know that because you saw me there. Give my miles to Bob too.
Now deal with that one Mr. VP (soon to be Pres.)!

Chris, we drove... Boooooo!
I was flying around on Wednesday PM and did not hear a single radio call for about 10 minutes:
Me: NORCAL, 2367L, radio check
NORCAL: Loud and clear, me?
Me: Loud and clear. I've never heard it this quiet before
NORCAL: It's the calm before the storm. We are expecting 1400 aircraft this weekend.
Me: I guess we'll drive to AOPA
I heard from everyone that it was no problem getting in at all. Shoot.

Hmm - if we had a trophy for the most miles to a BAC fly-in _without_ flying our aircraft we might have a in.
Candy and I drove to BACFest 2006 at the last minute, having planned to flly but having blinked in the game of chicken with a 300 mile stretch of below minimums ceiling as a newly (~2 weeks) rated instrument pilot. We did fly almost 1500nm to BACFest 2007 but that was the year that Mr. Jonas was a total ringer so why even bother ;-). We also drove to Tullahoma - it's really hard to convince the CFO (Candy) to fly when commercial is 1/2 the price and 3X as fast. And I was definitely planes, trains and automobiles to BACFest 2008 and AOPA Expo 2008 and 2006 (2007 was out having just spent a 3rd world countries GNP in AvGas for BACFests ~2500 nm loop).
However, having now been to 2006, 2007 and 2008 and interesting award for 2009 might be who has made all for BACFests.
BTW - Mike - maybe if you had done a full stop at South County you could have at least had credit for 18nm
.
But at a more serious level - BAC is great and knowing I have instant friends all over the country has been a blast (hmm, any members - Candy and I are in the Greater Baltimore/DC area next weekend). A regular part of my travels has become looking up members whereever I'm going and making contact.
Also AOPA Expo is a great show and AOPA is a great organization. They are a little bigger than BAC. But they do a lot for our interests in flying with GA. The fact that they have held dues to the same ~$40 for decades while having expanded services and scope so far while maintaining good fiscal managment is amazing.
Great to see all of you again. Especially Jeanne and Jeff - hopefully we can manage something to see you again before AOPA Expo 2010 in Long Beach - and with Candy this time. I really do have a wife named Candy, ask most of the other BAC members ;-).

P.S. Mike - I'll see you Wednesday for steaks (Bob, would you fly down for beef !? Although with Mikes cholesterol I might have to teach him how to properly do Salmon on a grill).
