Taylors are attending

Hopefully it is obvious that as part of the organizing team, Sheila and I will be there as well (Larry I forgot to tell you this formally I think!). I think we are up to 10-12 attending now. Larry and Herb have both declined, with regrets, so I am not sure what the "SOAPA Business Meeting" part of the agenda will look like, but we will make it up or just generally talk Skymasters...

Looking forward to seeing folks and hopefully also meeting some new people interested in these fine aircraft.

I flew last week up to New Hampshire to pick up my son who was visiting for a week with a friend and and his family for some summer fun....my son texted my wife while we were enroute "Tell Dad he won't believe it....this tiny little airport in NH with only two planes on the ramp...both Skymasters." I landed and made it three. [See attached photo]. I left notes on both planes suggesting they join us for the fly in....so maybe we will have some local drop-ins as well.

Thanks
Bill

Fly In

I have made my reservations at the Bed & Breakfast, to stay the night of 6th. I will fly in as early as I can on Thursday morning and stay over night and do the flight down the Hudson with the group of 337s. I have reviewed the NY SFRA and took the test to get ready. See you on Thursday if the Hurrican doesn't screw up our plans. Dale Campbell

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)

Great SOAPA Meeting

To all that missed a great meeting,
I would first like to thank Bill and Ken for arranging a great SOAPA meeting place and activities. I think everyone really enjoyed the friendship and places we visited. Myself and the 2 guys I brought will remember the fun we had for years to come. Paul & Mary gave a great recape of thier trip around South America and Paul entertained us on the piano. A guy with many talents. There were 4 wifes at this meeting, which I thought was great to see wifes enjoying their husbands love of flying. I wish my wife was like that. We left {GON }Mistice Harbor on friday for a trip up the Long Island Sound to the Hudson Coridore. Past the GW Bridge, the Intreapide, we dropped to 900 feet and rounded the lady twice. Over the VZ Bridge and back up the east side of the Hudson, past the new buildings at ground zero.
We took video of the trip & will post as soon as we edit out the jerky parts. We flew back down the Long Island Sound to Block Island for a great lunch. After that I headed for home back over the Sound at 4500 feet in clear air. Those of you that missed this SOAPA meeting missed a great time. We all missed Herb,Larry and Jerry. Dale Campbell

1. Are you asking for SOAPA to organize an event in Europe like we have in the USA?

2. Are you asking how to organize an event like we have in the USA?

Dunsfold

Lets have it at Dunsfold Aerodrome!!! EGTD 07-25 runway 1836 Meters long (6,023 feet).
The dates are 24th and 25th of August, 2013. It coincides with the Wings and Wheels event at Dunsfold. I'm excited!!

I did note that Dunsfold is also the home of Top Gear. Maybe The Stig will fly in.

Dunsdolf were ideal for a rally Skymaster, Buddy asked politely about it or you organize such rallies in Europe, except in the U.S.

If you were to carefully organized rallies such as Dunsdolf it certainly would be an interesting event in August Sam I chose my Skymaster at the rally Especially since the TOP GEAR it could be published Surely Richard Hamound and James May, possess licensed pilots.

Paul

The link above yours is still working for me. Not sure why you are having problems but could be your security settings in the browser you are using. What browser do you use? I am using Firefox so you might try that and see if the original works for you.

No worries either way because the link you just posted works too.

Cheers
