Third Thursday BBQ at KMCW - July 20, 2023

[mdunlevie]

Mason City has been doing Third Thursday for well over ten years and the fly in just before OSH is something to see.  I understand this year both That's All Brother and Doc will stop over at Third Thursday this year.  I'm going in on my way to OSH, spending the night there to enjoy this event and a beverage.  There is camping on the field or nearby hotels.

About Third Thursday BBQ at KMCW:

A fly-in/drive-in gathering of pilots and friends. Bring something to throw on the grill, something to drink, and a dish to pass. If you are flying in and that is a problem, fear not, we always have plenty of food!  We light the grills around 6 pm. Cars park on the south side of the Rozendaal Hangar, Planes on the north side in the grass. No speeches, no meetings, just fellowship and good food with other flyers...  Everyone is welcome!!

The fiberglass mast from the windsurfer makes a great flagpole!

How do I know?

I plan to arrive tomorrow (Wednesday) mid-afternoon, flying in from Missoula, MT.  I will have a rental car until I depart early Friday morning, so if any attendees need a ride in Mason City or Clear Lake, just let me know and give me a call /text  (210-834-1991).  Staying at the hotel 1.8 miles away from KMCW (Best Western Holiday Lodge) as a test for future trips.  They provide an airport shuttle.

Hope to see you all there,

Nelson Amen (trumpet nelson)
