There is a very unusual hotel in Winnifred Montana. The identifier is 9S7. It is 183 miles on a 348 heading from COD. There are only seven rooms and each one is designed after a different country or city and is extremely unusual and absolutely first class. There is hostil style rooms in addition to the seven suites. It also has a bowling alley in a first class restaurant. Across the street is the museum of the worlds largest collection of Tonka trucks and other artifacts of local Montana. Nothing much else on the town, but you will remember the experience. Grass runway but a giant community hanger for public use. The area was developed by a local boy who became a billionaire and wanted to give back to his town. The hotel website is Winnifredsuites.com

Sounds really cool Tom. Maybe a destination for just before or right after our Adventure

Sounds like something I might put on my calendar.
I haven't been to a SOPA meeting since Branson Missouri and that's been a number of years ago.
If you're coming from the east or south Saratoga Wyoming is a beautiful place to stop, it's out of the way but you'll be parking with a lot of jets at that little Wyoming Airport

SKYMASTER OWNERS

The 2018 Flying Adventure is in the final stages of preparation so that Registration can be opened. The base location is KCOD, Cody, Wyoming just on the east side of the Park. Rooms have been blocked in Cody at the Holiday Inn but are very limited supply. If you are planning to join us this fall please call or email ASAP to secure a room. They will go quickly and it's still prime season out there so properties are already full.

Dates are set: SEPTEMBER 5 - 9, 2018

Fly in to KCOD on Wednesday to meet together at the Holiday Inn. Thursday and Friday are fly days depending on weather. Destinations will be Jackson Hole, WY and West Yellowstone, MT. Dinners together in Cody as a group, rent a car and drive into the park, come early to explore more of this area or stay later to extend the time in the west.

It would be great to get more Skymaster together again. What do you guys think? Is this of interest or is everyone too busy? Should we start SOAPA Fly Ins back up instead of joining this annual group? Lots of options to do some fun gatherings but someone has to do a lot of work to organize the event. This event posted here is already supported by a good team and that's why I have tried to open it up to Skymaster Owners and Pilots. We have had some Skymaster participation in our Flying Adventures in the Bahamas and Nova Scotia but it has been limited. Let me know your thoughts out there? What do you think?
