DaV8or Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 As long as the weather is good, I'll go to wherever. Quote

Nemesis Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I might be able to make it to KSBP, most especially if it is a Saturday. Dave Quote

xrs135 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I deleted my last post saying I can't make it. Plans changed again... If it's the 10th, I'm good to go! Quote
wishboneash Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I can make it any of the days, but prefer the 2nd or the 10th. Look forward to it! Thanks. Update: headcount is most likely 1, possibly 2. Quote
bonal Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Long range forecast has rain likely on the 2nd an sunny for the 10th at San Luis. Looks like we need to commit to a location and date. Any works for me as long as VFR. Quote
kmyfm20s Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I get the feeling that weather will be a roll of the dice this El Nino season. The feeling I get is the 10th is when more people can make it. I would prefer the 10th but will certainly make it if its the 2nd. Quote
pfactor Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I can make the 2nd or 10th Phil Quote
Bennett Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Can we settle on San Luis Obispo on the 10th at 11:00 AM (weather permitting). KSBP is about an hour away from most Bay Area airports. Nice easy run down the Salinas Valley, over flying Watsonville, Salinas, King City, and Paso Robles. Coming back up the coast on a sunny day is a real treat. I often meet my So. Cal flying friends at KSBP as it is a reasonable distance from Southern California. 2 Quote
FlyDave Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Posted December 17, 2015 OK - we're up to 17 planes. Excellent! I don't see a way to add a poll to this topic so if everyone will vote we'll nail down a time and place. Once everyone chimes and we agree on a place I'll call and make arrangements. My vote is the 10th at 11 AM at San Luis Obispo (KSBP). They have an ILS, plenty of parking and a decent restaurant. Fuel ain't cheap ($4.74) but if we only want to go where fuel is cheap we should go to my airport (o69) where it's $3.85 . Bonal - if it's IFR you're welcome to drive to Petaluma and fly with me. 1 Quote

Conrad Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Hey, I'll join up if it's the 10th! But I can't fly there. Does someone want a copilot from one the bay area fields? Quote
M20S Driver Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I have it on my radar and may join you guys if my travel plan changes.. Quote
xrs135 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 My vote is the 10th! I don't have a preference where it is, but I'm all for a big turn out, so we should choose a place that has the highest probability of it being VFR! Is marine layer an issue that time of year in SBP? Quote

I don't have a preference where it is, but I'm all for a big turn out, so we should choose a place that has the highest probability of it being VFR! Is marine layer an issue that time of year in SBP? In my experience, KSBP is far enough inland that coastal fog (not usually a problem in January) is gone by 11:00. I've made many trips there (both my kids attended Cal Poly at some point in their college educations) and I only recall a time or two when I had to fly the ILS. But I am certainly open to other locations. Frankly, I think rain is more likely than fog at that time of year. As I said in an earlier post, I would be glad to host a get together at San Carlos, and I think I could arrange a meeting room there if I have a little lead time. For what is worth, San Carlos (KSQL) has two GPS approaches. Quote

Immelman Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 KSBP is one of my favorites... good choice. I don't do much of the weekend fly-in scene any more due to airline schedule and working most weekends.. but I do know I'll have the 10th off... HAVE FUN and enjoy! Quote
DaV8or Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I'm good with the 10th, 11am @ KSBP plan. However I have learned to not say that I will definitely be there given my experience with weather, aircraft reliability and a general helping of regular life thrown in. Quote
Ron McBride Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 The 10th. Let's do it, hopefully vfr. Ron Quote
Larry Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 SBP on the 10th. Count me in for 2. Quote
