Fly-In Ocracoke, NC (10/21)

[GMascelli]

Fly-In W95 - Ocracoke, NC

W95 - Ocracoke Island Airport - Ocracoke, NC

Mid-Atlantic Region welcomes all BAC members!!

As we struggle to hold on to the last good temps of summer, what better way to enjoy some sun then visiting the Outter Banks.

The Fly-in is scheduled for October 21st at NOON. There will be a free shuttle to our lunch location, Howards Pub. Good eats and good service. The pub will shuttle people back to the airport.

If you want to explore the island I have confirmed with Ocracoke Golf Carts that they will be open from 10-3 and can pick anyone up at Howards to shuttle to their office for a rental. A four passenger cart is $35 for two hours and $45 for three hours.

The local specialty and gift shops will be open for business.

The Ocracoke Preservation Society (OPS) museum, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Ocracoke Island's rich historical and cultural heritage will also be open for anyone to explore.

Gary-

It was tough for me just to get past the raw bar menu and look at the rest of what they had to offer. Awesome! http://www.howardspub.com/Pages/Menu.aspx?DeptID=52777

No raw bar for us....I can barely handle watching people eat raw oysters.

I just wanted to remind everyone that the weather is looking great to fly the mid-Atlantic this weekend. Come join us at Howards Pub in Ocracoke, North Carolina.

Ocracoke is a great place for a day trip! I wish I could join you but this Saturday is already filled up.

I plan to be there. Hopefully I won't have any fog in the morning that delays me so I can make it at noon. See ya there.

Mike,

A beautiful day to fly in the mid- Atlantic region!

Very Nice 👍

Excellent day at Ocracoke! Even though my ADS/B out was still acting up. With a day like this, I can turn off my Mode C (and then just listen to RDU ask some jet how high I am. )

 

[GMascelli]

Don,

Nice to meet you today. Sorry we couldn't do the town tour, mary is feeling better, she slept all the way home. I hope you get the ADS-B squared away. You have a beautiful musketeer!

 

[koenigm]

great to meet everyone today. I'm glad Mary is feeling better. Also worked out good that we didn't make it to the town tour as I got home at 5:30 with my fuel stop on the way home. Fuel was $4.05 a gallon where I stopped. Gary, thanks for organizing the event today. Had a great time.

Cool. Anyone have a inflight video?

I'll have my videos and flight journal blog updated and posted sometime Sunday morning. Mary and I made a stop at Accomack for fuel just for an extra safety factor, and to stretch our legs. We got home to our zoo around 5pm, just in time for feeding.

Mike,

Very nice to meet up, glad you made the flight. We enjoyed a smooth ride home on flight following, with a tailwind. Paving wasn't completed so 08Romeo is still on the ramp. I hope we get back in the hangar Monday, I need to schedule a wash and wax!

 

[poitras]

Now _there's_ the flattering picture I was hoping for! Glad Mary is feeling better, I just hope it wasn't the burger I recommended that caused the trouble. Thanks for organizing the get-together. I did my normal walk into town afterwards and got some ice cream. My new Stratus ESG was mostly showing a descent when I was climbing, but at one point showed me almost at flight levels.

 

[GMascelli]

This one came out pretty good...

My flight videos and journal entry are posted.

It was great to meet everyone yesterday at W95 Ocracoke, and thanks for lunch Gary. Got back to GSP around

Thanks again,

Gary,
Nice video's, what camera are you using?
Also, on your return flight it sounded like Cherry Point kept calling you 78R ?

Dave,

Thanks!

I use the Garmin VIRB XE. Only complaint is poor battery run time. I disabled the Bluetooth and the wifi, that seemed to extend some life.

I'm used to approach screwing up my tail number, it happens often. I just keep correcting and they eventually get it, or ask for the full call again.
