Update on a few items regarding the FLY-IN
Columbia Air has finally got back to me regarding fuel and fees for planes coming into Groton. They are waiving the landing fee and facility fees for us, as well as offering a $0.20 cent per gallon fuel discount for SOAPA attendees. Unfortunately the overnight parking fee is levied by the State of CT and therefore no way around that, but it is only $10 per night for each tie-down.
Other than that, the only change to our itinerary thus far is that the lunch after the Lady Liberty Fly-Out will not be at Danbury, we can decide on some other location with lots of choice in the area. We could do Martha's Vineyard or Block Island (good choices for a scenic lunch) or some other choices like that, or some other options that are faster and easier with a restaurant right on the field.
Thanks. In terms of numbers still a bit of a moving target but some folks are driving, others flying, so we shall see.
Bill (and Ken)
