They have a website for the airport: www.turkeymountainairport.com Just talked with the lady that runs the airport and the fly-in is on. I'm based at MKC.

Was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the Fly-In at Turkey Mountain Airport (MO00) Saturday 10/27? Flown in there once, but haven't made it down to one of their fly-ins yet. Weather permitting I'll be heading down from KC next Saturday.

Would also add... The forums did not disappoint (as usual). A myriad of topics to listen to or learn from. Some of the ones we hit were: Alan Kapmeir, Dick Rutan, Bob Hoover, Ron Stafford, Chip Yates, Composite Techniques, Propellors for your Homebuilt, SR-71 - Richard Graham (talked you...

Some of the biggest news weren't really showcased that well. Lot of breakthroughs in Electric Flight (check out Chip Yates in his Electric Long EZ setting a new speed record for electric flight), Cessna unveiling their diesel 182 and many updates with the fuel situation. Not the sexiest of...

What a great time joining the Cessnas 2 Oshkosh group for Airventure 2012!! Couldn't ask for a better group of pilots to spend the week with at Oshkosh. Thanks for all of your hard work Gil, Craig and Rodney. Look forward to doing it again.

Excited to be joining Cessna's 2 Osh Kosh for the first time this summer. Made my first flight into Airventure 2 years ago and can't wait to fly into Osh Kosh in formation!

The one I'm looking at has a Continental 0-200 in it with only 200 hours on it. It's the tricycle gear configuration. The owner is going to send me the measurements of the cabin length and then I'll probably have him take a picture of someone at least 6'2" sitting in it before I make the trip to...

I'm looking at buying a Tri-Q200 and I had a question if anyone has flown one. My main concern is that I'm 6'3". I'm wondering if I'll fit? Anyone that tall gotten in one?

Sorry Diana, my plane is down for maintenance til Tuesday. Not going to be able to make it down. Hope you guys have a great time. And Happy Birthday!

Unfortunately I think all of those people were squatters. You would probably be better off asking for permission. If you could park your plane close and they didn't charge too much it would definitely be worth it. How great would that be to have pre-determined parking?! Would take a lot more...

You might also try putting the trailer over behind that Super 8 over by Friar Tucks. There is a gate in the fence right there at that Super 8, and if you can park your plane close to that North side access road that goes around the North 40 by that gate you'd only be 50 yards or so away from...

I wasn't stressing over it at all, really. I was just stating what happened and offering my opinion. As for saving time... Flying nonstop to KC from Oshkosh vs. stopping in Dubuque and filling up probably saved about half an hour. I needed to get back by 6 pm, we were departing at 6 am. 4...

That's the way it's supposed to work. Glad things got back to normal for the mass departures on the weekend.

Hey Matthew, No, I'm not in that club anymore. I'm flying a 172 out of downtown airport now. You been getting up much lately?

Not on Thursday during the airshow.
