Fourth Annual MPA Picnic
and
Board of Directors Meeting
October 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Everyone is Welcome at the Fourth Annual All MPA Picnic at Rebel's Bluff Airstrip
Bar-B-Que Lunch with all the trimmins' is provided for a $7.00 contribution. Bring dessert if you must, but be sure you come and enjoy the best attended MPA event of the year.
Rebel's Bluff is a picturesque grass airstrip located 2 miles NNE of Mount Vernon International Airport (2MO), and two and one-half miles west of the city of Mount Vernon, Missouri. AvGas 100LL is available at the Bluff.
Lat/longs are N37 06.1 and W93 52.2. Runway 14 has "right traffic" (away from the Bluff), and RW 32 uses "left traffic". The airstrip is 2,200 feet long by 75 feet wide, and is very smooth. Use 122.9 for UNICOM, and avoid ski-diving operations centered about 2 .5 miles southwest.
If you cannot land on grass, you can prearrange by telephone (417-425-3595), transportation from 2MO which has 3050' of very good asphalt. No tiedown or fuel is available at Mount Vernon Airport.
Please drive-in if you cannot fly-in. Go to Exit 46 on Interstate 44. Turn north (right going west, or left going east) at the top of the exit. Proceed 1.4 miles (through both stop lights), and turn right on Missouri Highway 39. The sign says "to Miller." Go ONLY 1/4 mile, and turn left on Highway "V" (Victor). Go west on "V" for 2.4 miles and look for signs and Rebel's Bluff Airstrip on your left.
Saving the best for last Mount Vernon's Famous "APPLEBUTTER MAKIN' DAYS" Craft Fair Celebration starts on Friday, Oct. 9, and runs until Sunday, Oct. 11.
This event is hosted by Springfield Chapter MPA.
RSVP at 417-425-3595.

For those of you who made it to my birthday party fly-in, the airstrip Rebel's Bluff is owned by Les Featherston, the gentleman who flew into our farm in the pretty green and white Champ.
Tom can't make it, but I'm planning on going...don't know who is flying in with me yet. Kim and Phil may fly down in the Bird Dog. Jeanne is planning to fly down from K.C. Anyone else going?
