The airport in Branson that will be used for the fly-in is PLK


http://www.airnav.com/airport/KPLK

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.

Web Links re: Branson Airport and Air Show

The new Branson Airport website (KBBG) is:

www.flybranson.com

and the link for the air show is:

www.bransonairshow.com.

Great information on both sites.

KPLK is actually closer to Branson but I haven't heard what the plan is for it when Branson opens up. I imagine it is far enough away from KBBG that it would be enticing for smaller GA aircraft to continue landing there.

Monday, April 6, is the Cut off date for all rooms in Branson for the 2009 SOAPA fly-in meeting. They still have plenty of rooms available right now but as of Monday all rooms will be released. Please, if you plan to attend make your room reservation right now to secure a room and then if something comes up you can always cancel the room. This is the only way to be sure you will have a room for the SOAPA meeting. As the time comes closer for all the events in Branson the weekend of May 8 (SOAPA starts May 6) rooms are going to fill very quickly.

We are only one month away from the meeting so act now and join us for a great time in Branson, MO.

Rooms still available

I just checked with the hotel in Branson and as of today there are still rooms available but they are NOT holding any rooms for SOAPA. If you haven't booked your room yet call now to secure a room.

417-334-6464 or 1-800-828-0404

All the room rates are still the same as listed on the home page link.
