Planning to attend.

Hoping to fly down, but N6008D is going into fifth week in the shop to install GFC500. I’m not getting my hopes up…

Chris

 

[Bob Trader]

Bob Trader and N5226M is planning on fying up. I'm bringing a friend with me.

 

[AVIATOR_]

Pat, Chris, and Bob looking forward to seeing you all. Chris, if N6008D is not ready to fly. Drive on down if you can. Don't miss out on a free lunch and some camaraderie.

 

[cdbock]

That’s the plan! And based on the update from the shop this morning, I’ll be driving!

 

[AVIATOR_]

Bring pictures with you of your panel. Like to see what it is going to look like.

Brenda and I are hoping to fly in if the weather permits...if not, it's only a 2.5 hour drive

 

[AVIATOR_]

Steve and Brenda, looking forward to meeting you.

 

[AVIATOR_]

Keeping an eye on the weather. I will make a decision in the morning if we need to reschedule for Sunday.

 

[chiefc2003]

Morning all, we'll be driving over, there are thunderstorms forecast for Ohio.
We'll be leaving here NLT 0830 so please call/text my cell if you reschedule. Thanks, Steve
Cell: (937) 430-3009

 

[AVIATOR_]

Good morning, Steve. I will text you in a moment. I will be rescheduling for tomorrow.

Weather is not cooperating for our fly-in today. Rescheduling for tomorrow Sunday 5/17/26 at 11:00am EDT.

Starting to rain here in central Indiana. Thunderstorms are on their way. Tomorrow so far is looking better. Looking forward to seeing those that can make it.

 

[cdbock]

Got it. I can’t make tomorrow but looking forward to upcoming meet-ups. Chris

 

[AVIATOR_]

Sorry you can't make it tomorrow, Chris. Hopefully your avionics upgrade will be done and you will be able to fly N6008D to the next fly-in.

 

[Patrick]

Got it. I can’t make tomorrow but looking forward to upcoming meet-ups. Chris

Still not positive I’ll be there but it’s looking good.

Chris, even though you can’t, it’s not inappropriate to post pictures of your panel upgrade here. Precedent has been set.

 

[cdbock]

Unfortunately I couldn’t swing the whole panel so just getting my STEC40 replaced with a GFC500. Last year was GI275 EIS so I could gain confidence that an engine overhaul wasn’t imminent. There’s a plan and sequence forward, just need to space out the outlay. And, yes, hope to fly in and see y’all soon.
