Count us in.
Meet in GRR at 10:30

For anyone interested, we will be in Houghton Lake for brats' between 11 - 11:30 AM. Come on up!

How about
JULY, 17
Saginaw
Harry Browne International Airport (HYX) 8 a.m. - Noon

We could meet at FNT. Kevin, Herb, everyone else??!!

:D :D :D
I'am In and so is Frank

Meet at FNT around 8:00 ??? Flint Air service Or we can meet at PTK

KFNT, Flint Air service, 8 AM, see you all there.

OOPs, won't be there.
Oil leak on my new rear engine was a bad seal. Replaced that. Replacement leaked, shaft has a burr. TCM was very helpfull, my mechanic had digital pictures of the shaft and the burr. No question from them. Now, more parts, and remove/replace the engine.

Blue Angels and others
 

Blue Angels and others will be in Muskegon (MKG) Sat and Sun.
Saturday looks like the best day
Anyone interested? I flew in last year, had to be in by 11:45 AM local and had some issues. After arriving for sequence landing at 11:15 AM they made me and 10 other arrivals hold for 45 minutes until they took pictures of an F18 with its hook down simulating catching the cable. They finally let us land at around noon and we ended up getting a ride to center show (on the runway side) and just stepped over the fence for a free show. Awesome show it was. Sean Tucker with the Orcle flyer is worth the whole day let alone the Angels.

Anyway, I'm not sure I want to fight the crowds but if anyone else is interested in meeting I could twist my arm.

We'll need to check the notams to see what time we need to be in the airport before they shut down for the show.

Herb I would love to but no plane this weekend.
Kevin

I'd love to go as well, since I didn't go to IOWA (got my plane back Tuesday), but I don't want to sit the day waiting for the airport to open. Notams say closed 1600 to 2045 UTC. Long time to sit.

Newman's, 4N0 is this weekend. It would be great if we could do a flight of 3 or 4.
Or, just pop in, we'd love to have you.

I hope to be there. Always a great fly-in. Weather could be a factor but yet to be known. Lots of planes, great food, friendly people, fly bys, surprises (one year a Grummen Albatross landed), helicopter rides, skymasters and fun.

6D6 Greenville, Saturday 7:30 - 11:30 AM Pancakes and fly in.

Anyone in the area interested?

yes, if weather is okay

Herb and I at Newmans

Any interest in going to Fowlerville (65D)?? Sept 11, 7AM to 11AM

Maple Grove is a great fly in (65G). I was there 2 years ago and there were at least 100 planes present. Great turn out and lots of activities. Gerry and I flew in, had pancakes (they were great), walked around and looked at displays, the kids participated in various activities like sumu wrestling. Easy to find and a very nice wide grass strip.

Here's the plan, it will probably be great weather so there will be plenty of traffic. Meet in Howell (OZW) Livingston Co. at 0830. Brief for the flight to Maple Grove. Make 2 fly bys and land for pancakes. Enjoy the fly in and split at your leasure.

See ya there :)

Hmmm, OZW is 75' wide. Seems wide enough for formation take-off

Won't make it. I have to go to KHDC instead. then over to KPDK.

Bummer, are doing some RELIEF flights?

How about Dowagiac on the 25th. I'm gone all week again, (business) but will be back Friday night.

Dowagiac (C91) is on the 24th, Saturday, from 7am to 2pm unless they changed it. Predictions are calling for some T storms this weekend. I am available Saturday if you are interested or
Sunday the 25th is Owosso (5D3) is starts at 7am to 10:30 this could help the eastern Michigan Skymaster drivers to attend.
Also on Sunday is Lowell Municipal Airport (24C) 8 - 11 a.m. Lot's to choose from in this great season of flying the great lakes.

BTW, Maple Grove 2 weeks ago, WOW there must have been 150 airplanes there. I think there was another Skymaster around 9:30 that was taking off. Anybody else visit Maple Grove? My son won $50.00 of fuel and it was at least 14 gallons! Lots of fun and on approach I was 1/2 mile final and some guy in a 172 cut right in front of me. Where he came from I still don't know. But missing a 337 with all the lights on and transmitting on unicom has to hard to miss. Keeps you on your toes. The whole family went and it was good.

Well let me know what everyone wants to do. Last chance for formation flying.

Looking like Saturday may not work into my schedule. Sunday is still a definite possibility.

Sat won't work for me.
Sun is a possible

How about y83, Sandusky, Saturday, Oct 1. It should be reachable for the Eastern MI Skymasters.

Sorry, I'll be in Idaho.

And I will be in a tree stand in Northern Mi.

How about the following weekend. Oct 8 - 9, you guys around then?? We can make our own destination.

following weekend
 

Okay guys, count N34EC in.

Jerry

Okay, that's two for SOMETIME / SOMEWHERE on October 8 or October 9.

Do you realize . . .
 

That y'all are on page 8 of this thread? For God sakes, start a new thread like, MI Fly In (2005).

:)

Wendie 99

Hey,
when it gets to 2006, we'll do that.

I can do the 9th
New thread? This has been one of the best and most visited.
Can't break a good thing!

Where we going? Shall we suggest some spots?

Mack Island ($20)
Jackson (ol standby)
Ludington (food)

LDM is good, food, I was going to suggest RCR (food), but LDM is very nice, on the shore. Let's do it. Sunday the 9th. Meet at GRR, everyone goes up together. Herb and I will be flight of 2, then Kevin and Gerry can take off and join up. How does that sound. Maybe some others will show up. Maybe some Indiana skymasters, or Illinois skymasters. Who knows, maybe even some Ohio skymasters.

I used to practice NDB approaches at LDM. You can walk across the street.

Why not Herb, Larry and Gerry flight of three? And then Kevin can join up. We could hope for good photo weather, invite some photographers to ride along, meet at ........... say Holland or Grand Haven and fly the lake shore to LDM. Make some awesome 337 pics against the water. Ummmm not a bad idea?
HLM is fun but I don't suggest any formation take offs. They got one of them there NDB's too. Pratice those old style approaches.

HLM and 3GM are kind of short and narrow for Kevin. Gerry has a new engine. BIV would be okay for them, as would MKG. Just some more thoughts. Skymasters on the lakeshore would be cool. I would love to have a photo of you taking off in formation, we don't have one of those.

Oh, wait, do I hear PHOTO OP!!!

EVEN MORE AIR TO AIR!!!

I'll drum up a photographer, you keep your head up, we'll get some more great photos. Kevin?? Gerry?? Anyone else??

will fly
 

Larry, Herb and Kevin, I will get the plane back tomorrow afternoon so I will fly on Sunday. I will be on Freq 123.40 if we hook up in the air. What time are you all meeting and where?

Jerry
N34EC :D :D :D

We can all meet at GRR?

I am thinking different now because of Mark (goat150). He is in Ohio and it may be better if we go south to better his trip up here.

One idea is to meet in Jackson and fly south from there to ......... someplace or just meet together in Jackson for lunch.

The only day I have open is Sunday. I may not be able to get away until 11:30 or so. I could be in Jackson around Noon.

Herb I think that is a great Idea I am ok with it
