carusoam Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) 1) Grab bull by horns. 2) Make it happen. 3) Take time to set it up and get in everyone's schedule... 4) Be inclusive, you never know who will come. 5) Patrick and 201er arranged our first fly-in on the east coast about five years ago. 6) Patrick spent time on the phone calling everyone... MS was so young back then. 7) Over communicate. Best regards, -a- Edited May 4, 2017 by carusoam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yes, My wife is like that. She will say "We should have a party" Which means: Can you make an E-Vite with everyone we know and send it out, And get all the tables and chairs set up etc.... Or maybe I have it backwards and I say we should have a party and she has to make it all happen. I'm so forgetful lately... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMJones Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 In the FWIW department, I'm heading from Georgia to Idaho for the summer on or around June 30th. Â I wouldn't mind an overnight somewhere halfway. Â If someone in Kansas, Nebraska, or Wyoming wants to host, I'll stop. Or North Dakota. Â That works.

Several years ago, about 20 planes met in Gatlinburg, TN. I we travel down from furthest WV for the meet up at the museum. A TX meet is being planned. Do either of these count as "central"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream to fly Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'll put it together. I advertised a flyin at my local airport for July 1. But I will work one out... I'm all about networking and meeting new people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream to fly Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Grove just called and my new wheel is going to be shipped for Monday. So I will be airborne soon. I've got this stupid smile from ear to ear about flying this mooney. Its just fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneymite Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017  "Central" means different things depending on your criteria..... Personally, I think Panama City (around the first of October) is pretty "central" since that's where a lot of Mooniacs will be.  7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvesg Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Best bet is Oshkosh Wisconsin during AirVenture. We had a get together that included over 30 Mooneyspacers if I recall right. Yves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSMooniac Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I sorta organized something years ago for BBQ and cheap fuel at Paola, KS (K81) south of KC. It is a good lunch stop/gathering place, but not much else nearby.Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Scranton Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Denver is nice and central--how but Front Range Airport (KFTG)? Huge ramp, good restaurant...what more can you ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpaul Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Speaking of MooneySpace and Oshkosh...what ever happened to the MS T-shirts and hats idea? Would make it easier to identify other MS'ers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Myers Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 KAPA in Denver might be a good bet. KFTG is a good airport also but it's a bit in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant is OK but nothing I would put in the scrapbook, Perfect Landing at KAPA might be better– there's often F-16s and other interesting airplanes on the ramp with all of the transients, I saw an SF50 and EA500 there last weekend. I'm new here so just my two cents. Anyone going to OshKosh? Sorry if there's already a thread, couldn't find it if so. Never been and would love to rideshare if anyone is headed that way from Denver.

jasona900 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 For anyone in the Nebraska/Iowa/Kansas area, might I suggest a meet up during one of the monthly breakfasts in York/KYJR (first Saturday) or Crete/KCEK (third Saturday) of every month? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get any amount of free time I might get the energy to try again, The hard part was ordering and shipping them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try if I ever get this bird air borne again. I'm so close!!!! Friday I should be able to pick it up and take to the sky. Looking forward to meeting pilots from all over weather permitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
