Tenth Anniversary Celebration (BAC TAC)
- Thread starter Clinderman
- Start date
Mike, I just called the Wichita Marriott at 316-651-0333 and inquired if they have a shuttle service to Colonel Jabara airport and they said, yes. Call them at that number and they will pick you up.

I just heard back from the hotel as well. At KICT (main airport, Intercontinental), in the baggage claim area, there is a Wichita Marriott phone that can be used when you arrive and the shuttle will come pick you up. They will also come pick up at KAAO (Jabara). You can call ahead of time and make a reservation for pickup, if you're confident of your arrival time. Otherwise, call the Marriott upon arrival and they'll send the shuttle as soon as it's available.
They will shuttle everyone back to the airports for departures.

All that I have been made aware of is NO OPEN-TOED SHOES. I'll add to this if there is anything else.

Great news! There has been a delay by a vacation of the screen printer, but the T-shirts should arrive here on Thursday. If they do, everyone at BAC TAC will receive a "Life's A Beech" t-shirt. I don't have pictures of them just yet, but on the back is an outline of a single engine Musketeer and a list of all the Musketeer models produced. I think you will enjoy and proudly wear them. See you there!
News update!!!
I negotiated a deal with Enterprise Car Rental for picking up your rental car at Jabara Airport.
Please call the airport FBO Midwest Corporate Aviation (316)-636-9700.
If you call in advance with approximate arrival time, they will drop a car off at Jabara airport and you can pick it up at the FBO desk. You can then drop it off at the airport FBO on return without filling the tank. They will fill it up and bill you the pump price of $3.55 per gallon.
Rates are $45.00 per day or $146.00 for the week for a full size car.
I think this is an excellent deal, and certainly very convenient.
They were very nice and glad to help BAC enjoy the 10th anniversary celebration.
Regards,
Dave

I was unable by phone to get an Enterprise reservation through Enterprise or through the FBO, so I booked a two day rental through the internet for $35.00 taxes included per day. Not as good a deal as a full week and I will have to get out to Enterprise on Saturday to pick it up. Still not a bad deal. Enterprise is less than a mile from KAAO.

Thanks Dave. My hope is to be off the ground by 7:00 p.m. CDT this evening and that should put us into KAAO about 9:00 p.m. We had planned on getting the hotel to shuttle us in, but I may give you a call if you are available. We are keeping a close watch on the weather as there is a chance of TRW's this evening there.

As of about 6 PM local time, Cloyd was stuck in Arkansas with an electrical problem. He is fine but no details on the situation.

Cloyd, glad you made it home safe. Did you have a total electrical failure?
Yes, alternator tripped twice, dead battery, no radios, GPS, juice to start, etc. Next morning everything worked fine after battery was recharged. Dunno.
