Yes the meeting on Thursday is at the hotel. Thursday evening we will be on the Lake Queen paddle boat for a nice cruise on the lake. It will be really busy Thursday when you arrive, there is a US Pilots Association meeting taking place on Thursday afternoon at the airport PLK.
Hopefully you can find a parking spot with the rest of the Skymasters. If you need a car I would call Avis now and reserve something (they have Harley's too), talk to Jeff at 417-334-4945. I would suggest that you try to arrive as early as possible on Thursday. Can't wait to meet you, it will be a great gathering and weekend.

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.

Well, as luck would have it, our 337 is out of service. We have to get a new rear engine. It was at almost 1700hrs and the block was found to be cracked. As such, I have had to cancel my plans to attend SOAPA next month. I was really looking forward to flying down, now I guess I will be attempting to help with a new engine installation instead. I will get to one of these meetings, one day. Oh, if you call Best Western fairly quick, you can get my King bed that I just cancelled, they said I had the last one.

Fly in Commercial

Sorry to hear that you won't make it. Did you check on flights into Springfield? It's only a 45 minute drive down to Branson. Might be cheaper than the fuel for the Skymaster, I hate it when that happens but you don't have to fly your own plane just come join in the festivities.
