Just wondering how many planes to expect.

I think you were rather hard on yourself re the wording of Option #2. I'd bet plenty would like to be there(moi, aussi) but can't for options other than sounding cold-hearted in the Poll.
We're expecting rain again today and tomorrow, so my Skyhawk is still in Concord. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

If this plays out. I'll be there w/ Nick.SkyHog said:Well, I might be coming afterall, looks like Richard's gonna meet me here and we'll go up together.
w00t!
N2212R said:or those that would need to rent a plane and spend 4 figures in rental costs, and such, I am not giving a hard time to.
Keep it going, Anthony. You and Ed are cracking me up. Bugs on the trailing edge...that was a gem.Anthony said:Ed,
I'd come if my schedule permitted, although I'd have to land at the nearest B-52 base.
Richard said:snip
I'm hopeful the sod will not be soggy upon our arrival. I'm getting excited about the trip. Cheers.
SkyHog said:Why take the wheel pants off? I'm leaving mine on, is that a bad idea?
I am flying with my pants on as well. The wheels will also have theirs on toogprellwitz said:I'm just realizing that I haven't explicitly told the FBO to take the fairings off the plane ! I need to do that ASAP if I hope to be allowed to take it in to the grass strip. If they can't honor my request, any chance for a ride from a nearby "sealed" field?
SkyHog said:Quality, not quantity, Ed.
N2212R said:Except the nearest TV station is showing up to do a story and interviews, and it's going to look really sad with only 7 planes there.

N2212R said:Oh, if you do, you have to get me one too!!!!
Not necessarily a bad idea, but my club doesn't allow landing on grass strips without special dispensation. I wasn't able to find an instructor willing to even fly with me to evaluate it for the Gaston's trip, so they just took the pants off to minimize chances of damage. (They say it had nothing to do with my flying, and I choose to believe them! ) I'm presuming they'll want the same for 6Y9. That presumes, of course, that they consider the trip long enough to justify the expense. Hence my request for a pickup at a local airport, just in case! I really want to avoid that, to keep the aircraft count up!SkyHog said:Why take the wheel pants off? I'm leaving mine on, is that a bad idea?
Usually small for me...unless of course it's some really weird small for women/kids/everyone... I'll definitely give you some $$$ for it.SkyHog said:I'm there. Sizes guys? I'll make them at the mall before I go.
Gary Miesch said:OK Ed,
I'm a 90% probability for attending 6Y9's Grand Opening. The last 10% is up to Mother Nature.
Please post a runway condition pirep on Friday the 4th. There's been a lotta rain up there, lately. Cleaning mud from my wheelwells is my least favorite job.
What time does the celebration begin on Saturday?
