[Mooneymite]

Anyone else think T82, Gillespie County is a great location with the Hangar Hotel, and all?

May 20th it is, at Dallas Executive (KRBD). Why don't we plan to start showing up at 10:30 or 11:00, and eat about 12. The following Saturday if the weather goes to hell. For the ones who haven't been to RBD in the last few years, the new tower is now on the west side of the field, and the new restaurant is in the terminal building, about midfield on the east side. Unfortunately, the City took over the self serve fuel island, and have not yet got it up and going. I will contact the two fuel suppliers about which of them can fuel out in the transient parking area, and see if they will they cut us a break on the fuel price.

Why don't the ones who anticipate coming, post, so I can kind of give the restaurant a heads-up about how many to plan on.

Count me in.

Hangar Hotel, Gillespie County

On my calendar.  I'll submit the application for a hall pass tonight.  Submissions must be made in triplicate and generally require 4-6 weeks for processing, but maybe I'll get lucky and I can get a rush on this one...

[MBDiagMan]

That's great Don!  Sandy and I plan on being there weather permitting.

It is very gracious of you to step up and get something started.  Sandy and I started talking about seeing if we can get someone we know who has a warbirds collection at the Mount Pleasant airport to open for a tour for a future get together.  Mount Pleasant has a very new and wonderful airport, even though the runway is only 6,000'.  Maybe we can manage to get our Mooneys into such a short runway.

BTW -- Saturday the 13th is the Fly-in at 84R (Smithville, TX). It's not Mooney specific, but a nice little airport with friendly people, a good grill running, and helicopter rides.

Ill be in Boerne but am scheduled to leave the 18th. Ill send my proxy, Joe Dion, who is based at Dal exec now in his beautiful J to keep the disparaging comments minimized

I'll plan on coming as well.

Share lots of photos.

I used to spend Saturdays walking around redbird.  Started flight lessons shortly after that... circa 1995 or so...

Best regards,

Bump!

Trying to keep this thread in sight.  Hopefully everyone is able to show up and even more see the event date and location.  This event will be about ten days after we get back from Europe and we are REALLY looking forward to some flying and meeting fellow Mooniacs.

Too early for me to know yet... Hopefully I will be back from Israel, if so, I will be there.

Attending.  Thanks for setting it up, Don

Sandy and I are in Frankfurt to catch our flight home tomorrow.  I caught a terrible cold, but should have time to work through it before our get together.  We are really looking forward to it.

[MooneyMitch]

Hey!  May 20th for you all?  Very cool!

Shouldn't be a conflict with our May 20th Harris Ranch, CA Mooney Fly-In 

Have fun, wish we could come. 

[MBDiagMan]

Well Mitch, it MIGHT be a conflict.  After all, we fly Mooneys.  Maybe someone will decide they would rather fly a few hours instead of a few minutes and go to texas instead of California or vice versa.

Good point!  Either way, there will be some fun Mooney flying that day!  Y'all have fun now!

Same to you west coast guys. If the weather will just cooperate, it looks like we will have a really good turnout.

Thanks. I had started a list (although not as detailed as yours).

I had thought about furnishing name tags, so we could all identify the players with their MS persona, but that is pretty formal. This is supposed to be low-key fun.

[Ressum]

If I am not forced to work at the other Dallas KDAL airport, my wife and I will make the short hop or drive over from Mesquite KHQZ

[Yetti]

it's on the calendar for Mrs. Yetti and I

[M20FTraveler]

Weather permitting, I'll be there.

[DonMuncy]

Looking forward to seeing all of you.

[lukejb]

Don thanks for coordinating this.  I am going to try to attend.  Would be good to meet some more mooneyspacers face to face.
