Anyone flying to KSSI this weekend ?

[spcalan1]

Looks like I picked a heck of a weekend to finally fly to KSSI.
37 page NOTAM for arrivals and departures.

I might change my xc destination and try KSSI later...

Thoughts ?

Unless you really want to be in KSSI this weekend, changing your plans may be the better part of valor.

Why can't I find them? Where should I look?

Great airport,however going to be very busy,I would change destinations.

Nobody goes to AOPA Fly-ins anymore; they're too crowded.

What a bunch of curmudgeons! Read the NOTAM, keep your head on a swivel, fly-in and have fun!

I'll be there hopefully. Though I prefer Jekyll.

Yep. I am changing to KVDI instead.
I need to get 10hrs of PIC xc before end of the month.
I will finally make Transport Mission Pilot with the CAP.

Anyone want to join me at KVDI for lunch Saturday morning ?

AOPA home page has it posted.

I wanted to go, but I am working this weekend instead.

Maybe next time....

Just flew in for work to pickup some people. Traffic has picked up already. Fly safe folks.

Let me come clean; in 40+ years of flying I've never completely understood how NOTAMS are organized or distributed.

So in this case there is a NOTAM for an AOPA fly-in. If I were planning to go to the fly-in, I'd have no problem finding the NOTAM using a link from the AOPA site. Just like Oshkosh. But what if I'm just flying into KSSI? My latest planning process include briefing the flight on FF and where I believe all the pertinent NOTAMs are downloaded. But this NOTAM wasn't there (yesterday).

Why can't I find them? Where should I look?

Where would I expect to find out about a flyin I'm not attending.

When we got our briefing this morning, no notam. It didn't pop up until after we got here

 

[spcalan1]

Same here.
I just did a easy search online to see what there is to do in KSSI.. and the AOPA fly-in just popped up. What are the chances of a pre-planned flight - weeks in advance would be the same weekend as a AOPA fly-in ? Kinda bummer.

But Vidalia this time of year should be nice - haha.
Last month it was Jimmy Carter Regional for peanuts
This month = Vidalia Airport.. for onions !
Maybe one day I wil make it to Florida for some oranges.
