Mackinaw is a very cool place to fly into. One of the approaches takes you just over the edge of town, and flying under the Mackinaw Bridge is a hoot, not that I'd do anything like that!

We are, as mentioned going to be in OSH, and, yes Kevin, you can come stay at our hotel if it rains.

However, back to the Rendezvoussss. You know, Bob, here in Kalamazoo, on August 17, we're having a little fly-in, at our grass strip, Newman's Field, 4N0. It's a Saturday lunch thing, with a band and adult beverages in the late afternoon, for those who are not flying that day. Just a thought.

Not to say your strip wouldn't be a hoot, however, my other half wants the Grand Hotel scene....... you know.....

You could almost taxi there if you had floats...

I am surprized there are not more takers for "mecca".

BTW anyone know the best way from TEB to Manhattan ? >going this weekend w the family. last time it was a 70$ taxi ride. We need to find a better way. Guess they were trying to make up for 9/11

Okay, you're right. Grass strip would be fun for an hour then we'd have to caravan to walmart.

Mackinac for dinner, it's cool.

Not necessarily the case. Ever been through a divorce? BTW, do you know why divorces are so expensive? Because they're worth it!!!

I haven't been to Macinaw Island in about 15 years. Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. I didn't even know that they had an airstrip there.

Let's start looking at some dates. I think June may be too far gone, but I'm open for suggestions.

Mackinac Island, MCD is 3500 x 75.

How do you spell happiness, D-I-V-O-R-C-E, and of course getting married to a wonderful person like Kathryn.


Anyone have some dates in mind? Fathers day is weekend after next, then we go to Beaver Island, and Chicago Meigs for the following weekend. After that we are reasonable.

Clearly I need to move to the Eastern U.S., so I can attend the fly-ins...

Kevin:

Hey, don't you have one of them fancy Skymasters that's turbo and pressurized that cruises at 300 kts? Shoot, gettin to the east coast for you's gotta be like gettin to Ohio for me Ya know, a couple of hours in the air and then you're sittin on a bar stool with a cold one in your hand.

Larry et al, try these
6/15 okay,
6/29 goin see Ernies new plane,
7/13, 7/20, 8/17,
8/24, 8/31 are possibilities.
7/01. Will be in Boulder CO probably
Sept in nice as well, but real quiet. Need to book hotels ahead and avoid the race weekend.

Maybe Sandusky or put-in-bay would favour Keven.

Keviiiin > here we think the Ozarks are in the outback until we think of the NW. Where are you again.... oh yes, now I remember <G>

[kevin]

Keven,

The important part of your impression is correct...the part about the bar stool and the cold one. The rest, well...

And to Bob, hey, before I went to the Bahamas, I was unaware there was any life east of the Cascade mountains, let alone a reason to fly in that direction... ;-)

Kevin

Folks:

I'm out for weekends of 6/15, 6/22, and 7/6 due to vacation at Edisto Beach. Other times seem to be good for me. I'd like to come if we/I can make it. I don't really have a preference re: Sandusky / Put-in Bay. If I'm flyin, I can make it the extra mile or two. It'll just give me an excuse to stop in Cinci and Columbus to see some family for a fuel /potty stop.

How about Tasmania, serious, 'cause its close to me

Wayne:

Where in the Great Lakes is Tasmania? Beats the "devil" out of me. Alright, not that funny, but it was an attempt that someone needed to make.

What's the status of trying to plan something? I'd like to get something together for Summer / Fall. Anyone still interested?

I am hoping to get to see some of you folks at Oshkosh, and I will be at Arlington, for those of you who live on the proper side of the Rockies (the side farthest from Washington DC). Oshkosh will blow my travel budget (time AND money, I have to work sometime, sadly), so as much as we love Mackinaw, we'll have to miss that. I also plan to be at AOPA in Palm Springs later this year, if that appeals to anyone.

Tasmania would be REALLY super, but getting the tanks installed, installing the bunk, bathroom and exercise gym in the back of the airplane for my wife, well, it just seems a bit more than we can manage this year. But it is a GOOD idea...
