Mooney Ambassadors at Columbia, CA Father's Day Fly-In

[mooneygirl]

June 16, 17 and 18th....

Please join us for a fun, family-friendly two or three day event in the Sierra Nevadas.  The Columbia CA [022] fly-in is just a hoot. There is airplane-only camping where we set up Moo Camp.  We have been known to make smores, eat strawberries and burn Cheetos.  Friday is a set-up volunteer day if you are so inclined.  Friday night is the Burger Fry.  Saturday is the Mooney Ambassador display day. We will have a canopy with children's activities and the world-famous Moo Pool. There is a pancake breakfast both days in the campground. Saturday night is tri-tip dinner.  We will need help in the "booth" talking with attendees about flying, and Mooney airplanes.  As well we usually get kids and grown ups in the airplane.  The weather is usually super nice. Can be 80-100 degrees.  The town, which is a historic national park, is dressed up like the 1840s with panning for gold, wagon trains, and horse shoe smithing. 

If you are planning on coming please shoot me an email to MooneyAmbassadors@charter.net

Come and celebration GA and Father's Day with a bunch of your Mooney friends.

Hey Robert, yes the event organizers sign you in. You will receive a pretty cool swag bag, and the display certificate.

Well the weather looks to be hot in Columbia, but the event and the company will be very cool. Come join the fun at Columbia CA {O22} for their annual Father's Day Fly-In. Take a dip in the Moo Pool and talk to folks about GA and Mooney at our booth.  I will get there on Friday.   Look for the Moo camp in the aircraft only campground. Fun times for all.

One of these decades I'll actually make it there. We've got the plane down for her annual at the moment and we're fixing a little fuel leak. That airport is a favorite destination of ours but I've never tented it. Some day...

bummer I can't make it this year.

Kids and airplanes, what's not to love?

I just love General Aviation airports. Have had a hoot at Columbia [O22] and I have only been here 8 hours. Got to drive the golf cart, had a great dinner, watched a movie in the campground [Always] and now tucked in my tent and ready for display tomorrow. PS: the Moo Pool is full and it is expected to be 100 degrees!

Wow what a fun couple of days.  This is such a cool airport and event.  51st annual fly-in. Lots of community support. People remember my Mooney and of course the Moo pool and the strawberries!  Got a bunch of kids in the airplane.  SO many kids in the pool.  A balmy 93 degrees.  So many folks stopping by to admire the Mooney.  Another full day tomorrow! Life is good.
