More collection
How about the original Grumman Wigeon that was used in the TV show Fantasy Island? A Ryan PT-22, Waco cabin'd, and the only Breezee on floats in these here states.

Soapa 2009
All in all it was a great show, in fact many of us went to shows. Branson is famous for them so that was the little extra treat for picking this spot. On Saturday there was a big airshow and Thursday night on the water with a big paddle boat. The landings area was really a treat too. Shops, food, drink and a fountain show from the same guy that did the Las Vegas strip fountains.
Next year is coming before you know it so don't wait to make plans too late, stay tuned for information coming up on this message board about SOAPA 2010.

One of the benefits of attending the SOAPA meeting is becoming a next year committee member. Some of those may not consider this a benefit but it really doesn't require that much involvement. At the meeting in Branson we sent around a form to have each participant suggest a meeting location for 2010. Right now those locations are on the list and will be posted to the board for voting and comments.
Of course you can always suggest location on this message board and we always appriciate feedback on the locations that are being balloted soon.

May I suggest: 1) Page, Arizona (KPGA)...with a house-boat party on Lake Powell.
2) Ashville, North Carolina...fresh mountain air in a Victorian town. 3) Charleston, South Carolina...fun town. 4) The Cessna plant in Kansas...a Skymaster home coming. 5) Memphis...home of the Blues, with casinos close by in Mississippi. 6) Savannah, GA...southern hospitality. 7) Roswell, NM...for the UFO festival. 8) Indianapolis, IN...fun for days on end. 9) Louisville, KY...too much to do and never enough time. 10) Moab, UT...Colorado river, Arches park, Canyonlands Park, and 4x4 Mecca |

I will second Wichita. Skymasters were made there, Yingling is a service center ( tour ), FlightSafety is there (tour), maybe we can persuade them to make a Skymaster course like all the other stuff they teach there!, there is a really nice hotel on the field (ICT), no cars needed, we can tour the Cessna plant, either the one at ICT, or fly to Independance. I have family in Kansas........need any more reasons!! : )
