March Mooney Breakfast Flight - Chester Co / Carlson (MQS) Coatsville, PA, Saturday, March 12th - 9:00 Arrival

[Seth]

*******LOCATION CHANGE - Now MQS *******

***Weather is set for VFR for our breakfast flight.  See everyone tomorrow a few more RSVPs have come in but I'm not updating the list****

The March Mooney Breakfast Flight will be this weekend, Saturday, March 12th at KMQS - Chester County / Carlson - Coatsville, PA.  Arrival is 9:00 AM.  

We have 7 Mooney's, 2 Bonanza's, and a Tiger confirmed thus far.  I'll update the list as we receive RSVPs.  Feel free to invite guests, other pilots, and any type of aircraft.

We'll watch weather of course, which looks good right now.  Last month, we had 5 aircraft and 9 individuals.  4 aircraft cancelled due to weather and rightfully so.  The flight up was easy (as you can see from Oscar's video http://mooneyspace.com/topic/17887-flying-to-the-kgai-mooney-breakfast-in-hagerstown-pa/#comment-260532) the flight back not so; some just beat out the rain, and others filed IFR to get home.

Fuel at KMQS is a discounted price of $4.75 full service with Signature (Usually $6.09 - the GM gave us a very nice discount).  Make sure you are on the discount list (I negotiated $1.34 off per gallon - say you are with me, Seth Meyers, or the Mooney Flight - even if you are not a Mooney).  Also, by eating at the restaurant the security and handling fee is waived even if you don't buy fuel.   The Flying Machine Cafe is located inside the main terminal.  Sorry for the location change, but the restaurant where we were originally headed didn't open until later this Saturday.

The Monthly Mooney Breakfast Flights began with the eight Mooney Pilots at KGAI and has expanded to the entire Mid-Atlantic region.  Each month a location in the Mid-Atlantic region will be chosen and a date will be set for the breakfast flight.  Breakfast will typically be a 9:00 AM arrival.  I'll work to procure fuel discounts when possible.  Posts to MooneySpace and the NJ Mooney Pilots group will be made as soon as possible.

Please let me know if you plan to attend so I can give the restaurant at KMQS The Flying Machine Cafe a proper headcount.

 

See you Saturday!

Jeepers Seth! I can now walk to the breakfast. BTW -- the UNDISCOUNTED price of 100LL at my airport (N57), 9 NM south, is $3.99/gallon.

$2.95 in the Midwest, it makes me cry what I am going to have to pay on East Coast...

[Seth]

3.89 at DMW.

 

I had it at $3.89 at GED who out of staters have a tax discount if another 23 cents for $3.66 PPG!

But at least we got it down to $4.75 from over $6 at the fly in at MQS.

Still need someone to pick up Adam as noted above.  Now that we are going to MQS, does that work for anyone?

[PaulM]

I will be there with a +1

I finally got my plane from the annual today. Short flight from N87 to BLM. I could probably make it on Saturday and take Adam with me from BLM. It depends how my day will go tomorrow. I would really like to fly in the pattern for few hours to make sure all is good. I can confirm tomorrow by the end of the day if it is not too late.

Thanks Bob-

I'll let Adam know!  I'll PM you for contact info.

Mike,

Congratulations on the big move.  47N always has the lowest price fuel in NJ.  Pizza n' Pasta, just down the hill makes a nice lunch stop.

You should have come out for the December fly-in.  You would have experienced the whole NJ Mooney thing.

Best regards,

It's less at my home field at 4.29! 

Any other incentive now that fuel price is out?

Like autographs from Chris' "women"? Can it be worked out at this late stage for him to "reposition" them for a showing? Seems close enough to truck them in and display them on a trailer but I may be wrong. I don't know the logistics involved for such a complex operation!

It is a very simple process Peter. We herd them up and then we create a stampede. They can't wait to get their arms around you!

I can't decide if I should I be afraid of that or look forward to it?! That redhead looks awful eager!!

Maybe I'll delay my arrival  until after feeding time! 

[StevenL757]

Damn.  Just as I walk into the office to get started...theeeeeere goes my breakfast.

[StevenL757]

Seth...count me in from KISP.  Not sure if my "+1" will join, but in either case, if the ride falls through for Adam, he can hitch with me.

Great!  I'll let Adam know that you are the backup should Bob not come.  PM me your email and phone number.

Another reason:

Alan just let me know he's attending in his still new to him 182 with Garmin Radios for sale in the back and any spare parts anyone needs.  PM me for Alan's phone number and email, or PM him yourself.  As we all know he has a ton of Mooney spare parts.
