manu damaschin Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 What would the european mooniacs have to say about a meeting this summer...somewhere in the middle of Europe (EMPOA meeting is in the far nord in june )? I am thinking of south of Germany, Austria... Not formal...just some talks about our aircrafts over a beer... I would really need to change some experiences regarding maintenance, avionics, flying tips etc... Manu Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 What a great idea June is already fully booked for me, and I imagine getting a suitable date is going to be the most difficult thing, so here is a doodle to see if it's worth making a start. Southern Germany/Austria is easy for me and I could do there and back in the day, but I realise this isn't an option for everyone, so we could be looking at somewhere with hotel/camping depending on the interest (makes it easier for the beer too!)

Awful_Charlie Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 Just another thought - LFGB isn't exactly 'Southern Germany or Austria', but it's pretty close to the first! June 28 and 29 is one of my home base club's "Open Day", with a meal (charcroute) for lunch and beers on the Saturday evening. It's up to about 90 so far, and can handle more, some advance notice would be useful for the catering, but for sure we will be able to accommodate a few more on the day - more on http://www.aviatik68.fr/choucroute/index.php My other club also has an open day on 21/22 June, but I'm on-call that weekend, so unlikely to be able to make it - more from http://www.ac3f.org/ Quote
EDNR-Cruiser Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 I'm based in Regensburg, so Southern Germany and Austria are not a problem at all and usually doable on short notice. Quote
carusoam Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 You will enjoy the results. There is so much to convey that it is difficult to put it in one post. Best regards, -a- Quote
manu damaschin Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 Let' propose all of us some dates...! For me any time during this summer is fine... Quote
manu damaschin Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 Are there more mooneys in europe...? Quote
EDNR-Cruiser Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 There are a lot of Mooneys in Europe, most of them in Germany, Switzerland and France - if I recall the old stats correctly. Most European Mooney owners seem to be organized in the EMPOA - the European Mooney Pilots and Owners Association. Unfortunately these folks seem more interested in food than Mooneys or flying these days... Quote
Awqward Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I will be flying from Aberdeen, Ecosse to Cannes in August sometime (we have a place at Ste Maxime).... I would really enjoy an excuse to detour to somewhere in Southern Germany! Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Bump! Select dates you can do with this link Or if you want to come to LFGB in June, then drop me a mail/pm, or register on the site above 1 Quote
manu damaschin Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Posted June 6, 2014 ...super idea with the poll Ben!! Can't wait for the meeting! Manu Quote
manu damaschin Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Posted June 6, 2014 Should we send an invitation to EMPOA as well? You guys probably know more about them...? Quote
ncdmtb Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 I am a member of EMPOA. Mainly because of the discount they have on Mooney insurance via a group buy. I am saving significantly compared to the old insurance. I can place a post in their forum once we have a date locked down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Well, the doodle has only got 5 entries in it, but the weekend 26/27th July looks the most popular so far. Suggest we pencil in that for a date, unless we get a bunch more participants soon, and start looking for a destination. I don't mind camping (inc under the wing) or b&b up to mid tier hotels (I'd have a job justifying a posh hotel to the FD) Anyone fancy making a destination suggestion? Ben Quote
manu damaschin Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 The weekend is ok...althought I would suggest to wait by the end of this week, in case that will be more mooniacs (not only five)...Then we will set the location. Anywhere is fine for me! Quote
Awqward Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 I would like to commit to a date but unfortunately my father-in-law is extremely ill just now and may not make it....so I can't really make any plans....in fact I was planning to go down to LFMD this weekend but going to EGBO instead... Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 Just to give this a bump - the weekend 26/27 July still looks favourite,so we'd better start making a plan about a destination as it's only two weeks away - anyone want to volunteer one, or volunteer to find one? Quote
ncdmtb Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 I am flying to Gydnia, Poland for the Red Bull Air Race. Any others want to come? Make it a Mooney get together? Airport EPOK Quote
Awful_Charlie Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 A bit further away that I had expected, but it's do-able. I found the airport website http://www.airport.gdynia.pl/en but it is rather discouraging about visiting for the weekend - http://www.airport.gdynia.pl/aktualnosci/information-about-red-bull-air-race-event - have you found out anything different?

carusoam Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Photographs when you guys get a chance? Best regards, -a- Quote

manu damaschin Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Posted July 22, 2014 Would it be an idea to postpone it for a date when more of us could join? Quote
ncdmtb Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 Hmmhhh...I will give them a call tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
ncdmtb Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 They don't answer the phone...but it looks like Gdansk is the nearest alternative. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
ncdmtb Posted July 25, 2014 Report Posted July 25, 2014 The weather is not favorable. I will not go. Any other ideas for a "flyin" sometime soon? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
