The new airport that is not open yet is BBG. This is the location of the airshow on May 8 - 10. This new airport will not open until Monday, May 11 after the airshow. This is the first privately funded commercial airport in the United States.

Plan now to attend the SOAPA meeting in Branson, MO. on May 6, 7 & 8, 2009

Did anyone check with the airshow airport folsk and see if they would just let us all land there instead? Seems it would add a bit of flavor to their show to have a bunch of Skymasters fly in for the show...they might even extend show courtesy type items to our pilots. Just a thought.

Already checked with the airport but not with powers to be. I suppose one could run the idea higher up the flagpole. I think they have their airshow schedule in place. I really don't think a bunch of GA pilots in Skymasters is a real show stopper for them. Would be if I was running things but for this show probably not. But never say never, if someone wants to make a stab at it, go for it! Maybe Skymasters are more unique than some of us think.

I have been looking at the calendar and I think I can make it to the meeting in Branson. As soon as you know any details let me know.
