Saying Good Bye To Dan - Fly In

Actually Dan isn’t going anywhere, just as a Bonanza owner he hasn’t renewed his membership to BAC, but he has gotten himself a hangar and has invited everyone to visit it on Sunday, July 27th between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. He will have some food, but if we get enough interest, we can visit Dan and go to the Airport Cafe for food. There is plenty of parking in front of the Cafe and both indoor and outdoor seating. (Some of the best pancakes anywhere).

Oh, guess I should say, Brookhaven...

Mike Dunlevie is correct. Changing ownership status from the Musketeer lineage to something "else" does not preclude participation in the BEECH Aero Club. All you have to do is be INTERESTED in the Beech line to be an active member.

Included in the list of non-Musketeer owners is a group of some of our best BAC friends who no-longer own airplanes. Mentally go through the list of our more active members and you will see that the thread to hold them together is friendship.

Besides, what would I do if I didn't have Dan Dicker to push around anymore? In fact, my plan is to be at his hangar shindig and pass the hat to see if we can scrounge up fifty-bucks to keep him in BAC.
 
Didn’t you see his note to you and me to post on here since he is no longer a member and doesn’t have posting privileges.

Dan certainly doesn’t need financial help.
 
you guys kill me.

come to the hangar party! July 27th. Northeast hangars #22 - 11-2PM KHWV. North side of the field near the fuel farm. Sandwiches, sodas (and beer for non-pilots)

Plenty of grass tie down near the hangar and plenty of food, you won't need the cafe, unless you MUST have pancakes like a certain boat captain of Sundowners from Braintree, Massachusettes.
 
Banter? Is that what you call it down-under?
Here in New England and just off our coast on Long Island we call it bull----!

Dan and I met at a BAC fly-in at Kobelt, New York. Then other times at fly-ins East Hampton and Montauk and Brookhaven. He's a pancake expert and has a belly shaped like mine. He buys and sells commodity promises for a living. (At least that's what I think he does). He's smart and when he offers his opinion you should listen. He's right about stuff.

I'm going to wait to commit to his open house until I see the menu. I'm not going to fly 108 miles just for "Dicker Dip".

Wait....wait. First, I had a sure promise of attendence from @corcoran, INCLUDING an offer to raise money to offset my dues here at BAC. Very sweet, Tom. And now, what? I gotta prove the menu will be to this fine fellow's approval? OK, then.

My plan is Dominick's - my favorite fat man deli - Italian subs, party style cut into pieces. I figured I'd order three in different varieties. So, Tom -- you choose your favorite from the menu and I'll make sure to save you at least two feet from it. How's that work for ya? :)

My hangar is on the North side of the airport -- I've attached a diagram, circled in red is my hangar, the doors will be open with a BOOO-TI-FUL v-tail in it. Circled in blue is a ton of open grass where you can park. Just pull your beauty next to one of the many unflyable wrecks on the field...

Plenty of food! good times! better than Oshkosh! (well, maybe not). Hope to see you there. hwv_airport_diagram.jpg

It was good to Say Hello Again to Dan and introduce him to Richard and his Sierra. N271WT. The weather was not perfect for a Fly In today, but foot traffic was good for Dan.

CHANGE of TIME and LOCATION on TUESDAY

The hazy weather, that included ZIP visibility, due in part to Canadian wildfires, precluded many flying attendees from safely getting to Brookhaven on the 27th. That included Tom Corcoran (Boston) and Ken Cook (middle Connecticut).

So, the fly-in continues for breakfast Tuesday morning (NOT at Southbridge Airport, Massachusetts (3B0) meeting at 9:45 as previously posted).
Instead at Dan's hangar at Brookhaven Airport, Shirley, Long Island, New York at 11:00am.

This is an official BAC event so all are invited.

Info via my phone 781 843-4321.
