All,
I am still playing phone tag with the manager of D2 Aero. So, I have contacted their competitor, Desert Skies. They have the cheapest gas on the field and will provide us an additional 20 cents off per gallon. At today's price that would be $3.60/gallon for 100LL and we will get free tie down space. Call on 123.3 to announce your arrival and a "follow me cart" will direct you to the parking. Desert Skies also has a "crew car" available. There is a new restaurant opening adjacent to Desert Skies called Waldo's BBQ. If everyone likes BBQ (who doesn't?) we could have our lunch at the airport and waddle back out to the airplanes and be home for dinner.
There is a museum in Lake Havasu that sorta chronicles the growth of the area. If there is interest, we could go there for a hour or so to kill some time before lunch. One of our members has an interesting airplane on display there.
On a side note, D2 Aero is supporting the 99s pancake breakfast Sunday morning in their hanger. So, anyone who gets there early enough, can have breakfast and lunch.
If you can get away, please consider making the trip to KHII on Sunday, 15 November, 2009.
