Hi Jack,
It's real easy to start a fly-in; only takes the will. Just let me know when you would like to have it, where, and I will work along side you to get it together...that's what they pay me that volunteer pay to do.
The ingredients are: an airport with ramp space or grass area for parking our birds together. (I see you fly out of Danbury, that's a great field.)
Next we can/should enlist an FBO or the airport manager for permission and assistance.
Then we set a date and ballyhoo it here on BAC and MuskteerMail...that's my job.
We can decide to have a cookout or some other arrangement. As the NERD (No jokes please, that's N.East Reg'l Director) I have a modest budget...YOU do not have to put your coin down for this. Often members who come insist on tossing some shekels into a cookie jar anyway.
The final ingredient is the desire to have a good time with fellow Baby Beech afficionados.
Let me know. My home tel# is 413-783-2446

BTW: we have one coming up Aug 2 at Republic Field. Keep checking the calendar on the home page or look in the "Fly-In" discussion forum.
