Mooney Fly-in this Saturday, Walnut Ridge Arkansas

[moodychief]

Is anyone interested in a Mooney get together this Saturday at Walnut Ridge? We can eat at the Parachute Inn as they are open 11a-8p on Saturday. Also, there is a Wings of Honor Museum on the airfield open from 9a-5p according to the website.

The Parachute Inn has a Southwest Airlines 737 fuselage where you can dine. If it looks like we will have a group, the owner requested I call with the approximate number of attendees so she can have enough staff and food. We can order off the menu but if we have 20 or more they will discuss a buffet type spread if we desire.

Let me know as soon as possible (and number of people in your plane) and I will reserve the space for the group. The fuselage is limited to seating 60 but I don't think we have to worry about maxing out the space.

I'm taking PX to Denver this weekend but would be up for any weekend past that...

Man I wish my Mooney was not in the shop.  I plan on this being a regular stop once I get my instrument ticket.  I go up to Pochahontis every year to shoot at ducks.

Walnut Ridge is a regular visit for us. Name the date and time we will be there..Great idea and location. Eating inside the plane is pretty cool, as is the museum. If several can't make it this week then maybe another Saturday. We would be up for it whenever.

TWinter,

It looks like a lot of people already have plans for this weekend. It looks like the weather will be beautiful for flying.

My wife and I are still going and arranging to meet other local pilots (non-Mooney) to meet us there. We are planning on a 11:00 am lunch if you want to meet up. If anyone else's plans change maybe they will show if they know other people are still going.

Sounds good. We will see if we can make it by 11. Looks like the weather will be nice after tonight and Fri.

 

Adios,

Weather looks great for Saturday. Temp of 65 with clear blue sky and zero chance of rain... Lets hope to see a few more MSpace guys show up. As long as all goes well at work today I'm in. I'm hoping to get there by 11. Come on guys and gals.. We are always looking for a reason to fly   Gonna be a great looking day.

I dined in that 737 at Walnut Ridge in 2011 or 2010 on my way to Oklahoma to drop off a buddy and then to Texas for a wedding.  It was my previous F model.

 

Great stop.
