I know it's not Friday but this is aviation related. If anyone wants to come on by, we will have a great time. I'm sending this now instead of Friday so if any of the KR gang would want to come, you might have a couple days heads up. Everyone is welcome.
OK, like you didn't know it before but we are ON for this Saturday!! Just a heads up, the army depot airspace has been relaxed but do yourself a favor, and me. If you are coming from the north, stay west of the City or Richmond, from the south stay west of the City of Berea, from the east just overfly Richmond or Berea and keep interstate I-75 to the east of you. Remember i39. Heard a request from down TN way about air traffic. For those who did not attend last year, we had well in excess of 100 airplanes, I stopped counting RVs at 87 by noon. The air was full of "inbound flight of 3, behind the flight of 7, behind the flight of 2 entering downwind, which is behind the.............................gaggle of RV turning base not counting those on final", anyway you get the drift. It is an uncontrolled airspace without any formal NOTAMs so treat is as such and keep your head turning. If we are landing on 36, try and make the turnoff, you will have something like 1500' plus to keep from back taxiing. If you can't, hustle on back. People will be on the taxiway to direct you to the ramp or taxiway for parking. Parking on the taxiway grass is "pick your own spot" but try and tuck it up as close as you can, as we just about filled up the taxiway last year. Ramp parking is first come first serve except for the formation flyers of TeamRV and OVRVators. Once again you are asked to tuck it up but be safe, you are responsible for your own aircraft. Bring along chocks, forget tiedowns on the ramp but OK for taxiway parking. I have commitments from about 60 RVs so far and I didn't ask for RSVPs. That's about what I had last year and we had close to 100 total RVs attend. I did see some weather that will be to the southeast of us but the forecast for Sat. at i39 is clear on Friday, clear on Sat. with temp of 48, 10% chance of precip, 52 on Sunday with 0% precip. Looks like we have a great window. Food. Here is the good part...........sorry wives (Elaine made me say that). Hooters called yesterday to confirm 1000 wings and two Hooters girls (still trying to sch. the two girls). My answer was, $#@% #$&7 @%#$* YES, you plug in anything you want:-) The food will be free, all I ask is you tip the girls (not literally) and donate to the hat. If I come up short on funds, no big deal but it does cost some money to put this on and I am building a new log home (gotta get the funds any legal way possible man!!). Bring it on gang, I'M READY!!!!!!
