Date Help
 

No, I'm not leaving Jenny - The other kind of date. Is there a problem with the dates listed on the schedule? Jenny and I want to get the room reservations but want to confirm the dates first. Our current plan has us arriving on April 21 and departing April 25. Are these the correct dates?

Oops... Never mind. Looks like I should have looked at page 2. We will plan on being there as noted above... Looking forward to seeing everyone!

That was close...
 

Somehow I thought from previous visits that the "fly-in" was in June or July. I guess I almost missed it, and may anyway. I was hoping to come in my non-Skymaster plane but it would be a stretch to have my ticket by then....but close. I will search for information on cost to attend etc. but have missed it in my quick perusal so far, only saw reference to the existence of same.

The fly-in is currently announced on both the home page of the site (www.337skymaster.com) and the Calendar page. Or you can go directly to the fly-in information page at:

After having spent several enjoyable days socializing with other Skymaster owner/operators in Nashville last year I was very much looking forward to attending a similar meeting again this year.

After having spent the last ten weeks enduring winter's snow and cold with no relief in sight for at least another four weeks I was very much looking forward to attending Sun 'n Fun again this year.

Given the proximity of the scheduled dates, it appears I'm going to have to make a difficult choice. An old song refrain comes to mind "did you every have to finally decide, to pick up on one and let the other one ride" or something like that. For now I believe I will have to sit back and see how the Oklahoma program developes and how many pilots/airplanes plan to attend before commiting to one or the other. Hopefully more program details can be posted soon. I also need to consider the wishes of my life's co-pilot. Any information on entertainment or activities available to non-pilot spouses, in the vicinity of the meeting site, would be appreciated.

Best wishes to all and thanks to all the folks making the effort to organize a 2004 meeting, whether I make it or not.

P.S. - KPWA is in the heart of Tornado Alley and April 22-24 is at the height of the season. Just wondering if any storm contingency plans are being considered. I don't think I can afford to find out what happens to .030" sheet aluminum when hit by an atmospheric vortex dropping out of a super-cell thunderstorm! However remote the possibility, the thought of assembling some 5% of the remaining fleet in the same place at the same time only to have the entire row consumed by an F5 is enough to make one shudder.

April Meeting
 

Hi Steve, A full AGENDA is completed and will be posted very soon. Some exciting presentations will be done with a number of tours. On the last day ,Saturday, a fly-off to ADA (ADH) for a tour of GAMI and more. This should be one of the best flyins thus far. Several sponsors etc.

Wednesday night dinner reception will be at the OLIVE GARDEN next door to our hotel. Friday lunch at the PROP SHOP, Friday dinner at Clarence E. Page building Sponsored by Don Nieser and a pass the hat lunch at General Aviation Management Inc.(GAMI). All for only $50.00

While at GAMI we will be given a mini seminar on engine management, the type you normal pay hunderds of dollar for, plus GAMI will extend the same discount on their products to our group they give at Sun & Fun.

Hope you can make it.

Cheers

Also, it should be mentioned that the GAMI thing is normally $995, per person attending, but for us it is FREE
I didn't see this note on the announcement, but it is an important one.

The agenda is posted and the $995 thing is in the agenda. However, to be clear, the $995 seminar is two days long, we are scheduled for two hours, so obviously it will be compressed and abbreviated.

Still, I think, a great value, and I think it will fun and interesting for everyone who attends.
