Special Fly-in This Saturday @ LEE

[fantom]

There was a great turnout at our last event, 31 people showed up at Punta Gorda in 12 Mooneys, 1 Bonanza, and few cars.  We had a wonderful time and the restaurant did a good job of serving us.

Our next event will be this Saturday, January 9, at the Leesburg airport (LEE).  EAA CHAPTER 534 will cook and serve us lunch at their hanger, hamburgers and hot dogs for a small donation.  Their hanger is just west of the FBO and parking ramp, the tower can direct you there.  After lunch there will be several people with cars to drive you to Ruth & Dave's house to see amazing Ruth’s Garden Railroad operating.  There's 1,000 feet of track in four loops, and probably  6 or 8 trains will be running, weather and “Murphy” permitting.  (That’s Murphy as in Murphy’s Law).

The EAA would like to know as soon as possible who is coming so they can plan how much food to buy so please let David know as soon as possible (daveanruth@aol.com).

Future events all are on the second Saturday of every month and start at 11:30

Future Schedule

David would really appreciate it if you can e-mail him NLT Thursday night to let him know if you are going to attend. He then alerts the restaurant on Friday with a head count. This month, with the EAA, it's even more important to let him know quickly.  Even after notification no one is obligated to come something happens.

 

Don't miss this special event. Even the fantom plans to be there!
