Nashville Meeting

Bob, answers to your question:


1, I will moderate the meeting.

2, Since no one stepped up to the plate, I am doing the
planning and organizing. Would you like to help in that
area?

3, Outline is being developed. Spoke with Riley Super-
Skyrocket people who is considering sending a person
re tech. participation. Plan to get someone from Cont.
engines as well.

4, Since we are all big boys and girls, I believe to be worth
while, the meeting should revolve around the tech aspects
of the Skymaster. Socialize in the evening one night and
the second night whatever each person whats to do they do.

I am checking out some good hotels for the meeting. Until I establish who will attend the meeting to assist on the tech. side of things, I will leave the agenda open for a few more weeks. I requested Gmas but I have received no response. I am also checking on other tech. people to go to the meeting.

Bob is right and I'm willing to help out. Can moderate or lead some sessions. I already offered my help in organizing the meet. Also suggest hands-on sessions at the ramp and perhaps demonstration flying. We can get a Skymaster-savvy A&P from the area or perhaps my guy will come out with me.

In any event, I think it can be both instructive and lots of fun.

Ernie

Nashville

We'll be there. I'll be there for sure, and probably Kathryn, as well. We do have access to the net, here in our apartment on the upper east side. Jerry, you're right, Bagels with cream cheese and locks (sp?) for breakfast, what a treat.
It has been hectic, so I haven't had a chance to post.
Hip surgery went well for Kathryn.
Humorous Story. Flight plan in or out of Teterboro is a joke, because they change it as soon as you call up clearance. We came in here Friday night, went to Jamestown on Sunday for a seminar, came back in here late Sunday night. Huge tail winds, 190+ kts over the ground, at 5K. Coming up to TEB, we dropped from 5K to 3K, and had to do turn south, because we were overtaking a Citation, that was on final for TEB!!. Had to extend seriously south. Even with gear down, we were cooking along, until we turned north and got lower. Wednesday, moved to plane to Bridgeport (BDR), tie down is free, train station is 15 min away, $9 ride into the city. TEB tie down is $25/d. Anyway, they vectored me out to the west, then to white plains, then CMK, then BDR. what should have been a 25 min flight took 1.25Hrs!!
Surgery was fantastically successful, and Kathryn is "home" here in NYC.

Leave it to Dive Bomber to overtake a Citation!

Glad to hear the surgery went well for Kathryn.

So, what's the date?

Jerry:

Kudos to you for taking the bull by the horns. I've been covered up lately and not been participating much on the Board. Anyway . . .

I can't get Allie Cat excited about Nashville, but would like to come if I can get a kitchen pass. So . . . I need to know what specific dates we're looking at so I can start lobbying at home.

Any concrete ideas or suggestions?

May is not great for me, but it looks like April has been the month of choice so far anyway. Anything decided yet on dates?

Cheers.

Keven

Nashville Meeting

Okay folks, the dates and times are set. The agenda is being developed and as it matures I will post it. With the potential guess speakers on an array of topics being lined up, this meeting is going to shape up to be a great learning experience. Beside the class room tech sessions, hands on at the airport will take place. As of this morning, with those planes that have committed to go to Nashville plus the two potential attendees as shown below, we equal the past T.C. meeting. If I recall, there were only 13 Skymasters at T.C but more than 40 people. Bob please correct me if that is in error.

Here's a list of the pilots that plan to attend


Dale Campbell..........................Pa.
Ernie Martin..............................Fl
Guy Paris..................................NH
Jerry De Santis.........................Mi
John Noone..............................NJ
Don Hickman............................In
Jenny Stack........................Unknown
Herb Harney.............................Mi
Larry Bowdish..........................Mi
Eustacio Fabrega.....................Panama
Rick Gavin................................Md

The following are potentials

Bob Cook..........................Canada & T.C.
Keven


If any of you have a particular experience of a problem with your skymaster and expert advice to share with the others on how it was solved,....Please let me know and I will slot time on the agenda.

If any information noted above is wrong re names and location please let me know so I can correct it. Also, Please send me an e-mail confirming your " N number ".

I have spoken with the people at Mercury Air Center on Nashville Int'l (BNA), and they will park all of us together near hangar -2. This spot has good access to our planes for the Saturday session.

Cheers
Jerry N34EC

Thanks Les
