Bou; I like to limit my flight legs to 2-2.5 hours, which translates to roughly 120-150 miles (depending on winds). As far as places to hold a PacNW mini fly-in, I don't know what the rules might be for Independence Airpark (a publicly-owned field) but I sure found it to be a nice aviation-friendly place for the fly-in the weekend before the total eclipse in August of 2017. EAA Chapter 292 is based there and they hosted that event. They are prolific builders and always have plenty of projects under construction on the field. The single main asphalt paved runway is 3142x60 ft. There is an eatery on the field (Starduster Cafe), as well as an FBO with fuel. If you want to go looking for trouble, head out from Independence on a true course of 039 degrees and after you've covered 29 NM on that heading you'll be at KUAO and in enemy territory. Aurora is where Van's Aircraft is headquartered ;o) Wear sunglasses... the glare from all that polished aluminum can be blinding ;o)
For me, the flight from MFR to 7S5 would be about 150 nautical if I could rocket up to the flight levels and fly direct like you KR guys can do. However, following Interstate 5 and weaving my way through mountain passes, it's more like about 175 nautical and I would probably stop in Roseburg to make it in two hops. -OZ _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
