Hope to see you all here at Oceano!

[MooneyMitch]

Hope you can fly to Oceano [L52] for the day.  You can of course, drive in too.  We'll be gathering lots of toys for the kids in our area, and helping to promote more activities at our "little slice of paradise"  California beach airport.

Rain or shine, come over, bring a toy for the kids and enjoy a great BBQ, some Christmas music and help support more activities at L52.  Thank you.

[mooneygirl]

I am hoping a 20% chance of rain means an 80% chance of no-rain.  We have canopys, tents, heaters. It is for the kids after all.  Come on Sun, keep shining!

[mooneygirl]

We are staying positive for the 80% that it will be a great day to fly to L52, have some great BBQ, hear some timely Christmas music from the Santa Maria Winds quintet, look at some Model A's from the Cuesta Crankers, and gather a bunch of new toys for underpriviledged children.........not to mention having another activity at our litte slice of paradise Oceano Airport!! 

If you don't fly, please come and join us too.

See you there.

Was looking forward to finally conquering L52, but Karen has a sinus infection, laryngitis and possible bronchitis.  She's missed two days of work so far, so it looks like we'll be sitting this one out.  Best of luck to everyone and we hope it's a great success.

[mooneygirl]

Hey Fernando, we completely understand. We had a great day down at the airport today getting things in ship shape.  The weather today was great. We hope tomorrow will hang in there.  At least for the kid's sake! 

Get better Karen!!

We might be going to Cable in January for the airshow and an Ambassador gig. Not sure.

[HopePilot]

Cable sounds great!  I was going to make a joke about one's wife catching laryngitis, but I have decided to refrain for reasons related to self-preservation.

[mooneygirl]

So we had an absolute blast.  45 airplanes on the ramp. Kids getting rides for free! We had over 100 people come and support the Marine Corps Toys for Tots.  We loaded seven big boxes full of toys for our kids.  It was just a blast. Mother Nature cooperated and we had a super day.

Look for a video soon. Thank you all for your support. It was nice to see many Mooneys on the ramp too!

We had a wonderful time.  About 45 airplanes and over 100 people.  We received ten boxes of toys and cash donations.  The fuel discount donation was sizeable and that helps the Toys for Tots even more.

Next up for Oceano:  May 14, 2011 Oceano Airport Celebration Day.

 

If you watch the whole thing, you will see Mitch and I departing L52 in the mighty Ovation!
