201er Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Brian at Quakertown is being nice enough to host us (even after having us before, so he knows what he's in for!) for a lunch fly-in bbq this coming Saturday May 27. Setting up around 11 and full swing by noon. Going on for the afternoon. Weather is a little bit questionable but should more likely than not be ok. RSVP appreciated as always so we can gauge the interest and how much food to get. Feel free to bring friends, family, even invite some non-Mooney guys. Just let us know how many people to expect and bring your favorite sides, drinks, or whatnot. Sort of a pot-luck or bring cash kind of arrangement. Sue might bring her 99 friends out with her. Alan Fox is going to play soccer mom and bring out the whole South Jersey gang in his Cessna 210. My wife and I are probably bringing some parrots out with us. It is a fun family friendly event that has sort of become a tradition. -Mike 1
N6758N Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Wish I could make it Mike, I will be in NC this weekend.
Marauder Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Mike -- I'll be there if it isn't raining. No fun doing a barbecue in the rain.
Danb Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Mike I'm planning on giving it a try, are little dogs allowed. Dan
Marauder Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Mike I'm planning on giving it a try, are little dogs allowed. Dan They are, but bigger dogs taste better. There is a BIG German Shepherd that is always there. Seems friendly, should ask Brian. I've seen your dog, might make for a tasty snack. 1
Skeyedancer Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) The big German Shepard is Brian Nelson's dog, Buddy. There may also be a black Lab named Wrangler, another Nelson family member. Both are extremely friendly and experienced airport dogs. Edited May 25, 2017 by Skeyedancer
steingar Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 I wish I could come. Brian is good people. But its a long way and questionable wx at best, so I'll just have to send along my good wishes.
mccdeuce Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 I'd like to join. We'll see how the weather holds for me down south.
Alan Fox Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Looks like I might have a commitment in Morristown..

201er Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Posted May 27, 2017 Just a quick weather update. We are expecting some isolated light rain showers but we are still a go. We recommend coming early at 11am cause the weather will progress down hill as the day goes on. At its worst, it is still forecast as VFR with light rain. Try to bring food and not cash cause of the last minute preparation and lack of helpful ladies to keep us organized.
201er Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Posted May 27, 2017 Weather forecast improved. Going to be 4500 broken and 70 degrees. The rain has been cancelled for the most part.
Jim Peace Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 Woke up with sore throat and other aches and pains. Going to Doctor instead. Have fun

Marauder Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Hope your enjoying, I woke up feeling crappy, decided at last minute not to fly. Did you get hit with the weather that was coming through the area? I was watching it on my way back to New Garden and it never made it to my airport. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

carusoam Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Interesting question young master @201er... Or rephrased in a slightly warmer friendlier tone.... How would one test a CO detector in flight with a headset on? I have a different brand CO detector. It gives a warning or two while I'm still on the ground in the run-up area. The engine isn't very loud at the time. Best regards, -a- Edited May 30, 2017 by carusoam
