En-Route
Ok California types -
Castle AFB is in Merced - about 1hr 45 in the Comanche from near KONT [ prob 2.5 in a 172/182/Pa28] and prob an hour outside the Bay Area for similar.
Open Cockpit Day [go look at the vast and wide number of military fighter and bomber airplanes in their collection ] is set for May 26 - the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
I propose a POA fly-in. With enough participants we might be able to score a fuel discount and who knows, with an ask the pilot forum at 3pm maybe we can get in free.
We have a firm date. We have a firm time. Its BYOB boys. No restaurant at the airport, and no snack bar at the museum. I will contact the FBO and see if they would be amenable to setting up a grill - and then its pot luck lunch and then over the museum.
maybe arrival 11-1130 and lunch 1130-1 - everyone brings a salad, drinks and meat - I'll bring utensils, papers plates, cups and buns.
Express interest here but I'm thinking that we need in or out firm by May 20.
We have never been able to put this together because everyone is always hemmming and hawwwing - this has firm date and time from a third party who will not change the date or time!
