201er Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) #CheapBastards, #MooneyPilots, #Cheepos Sunday, June 25 at New Garden, PA N57 they are holding a Balloon festival. Arrive by 11:30AM Bad News first: you gotta come for a full 4 hours and spend it with us. The runway will be closed between noon and 3. Good News: free free free! Free admission (normally $15) cause I worked out a special MOONEY rate for you guys. Free food cause I worked out a special MOONEY rate for you guys (courtesy Marauder). https://ccballoonfest.com/festival-info/23-welcome-to-the-chester-county-balloon-festival.html They are closing the runway at noon so plan on arriving by 11:30AM. Make sure you recheck notams, communicate on CTAF, and follow by the book pattern entries with a 45 and all that swaz. Let us know if you're coming cause Marauder's usual Costco serving of burgers may not be enough. PS Alan has been advised not to bring his Mooney because all eyes will be on his landing. PPS Peter Garmin, come get recurrent at New Garden again. Edited June 23, 2017 by 201er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 And I need an accurate headcount. Mrs. Marauder will be awfully upset if I need to raid the neighbors freezersSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6758N Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I will probably stop by in the car... now that I live 7 minutes from N57 and 30 minutes from KOQN where the Mooney is kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 For those of you flying in, be aware that up to 10,000 people may see your landing. They will be behind barricades but I will make sure a number of them have scoring flash cards to help in the scoring process. I will make sure the parking attendants will be looking for Mooneys and to let me know you are there. My hangar has a view of the final approach and I will be monitoring unicomSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 And oh, as for Stinky Pant's comment about free admission to the show; it's FREE to anyone that flies in. And as for the free hot dog and hamburgers, that courtesy of me and Mrs. Marauder. No one will ever miss Bertha. Back to work. Grind, grind, grind...If any of you are coming, in addition to the hot dog and hamburgers, I'll have water, diet coke, diet Pepsi and Gatorade. There are vendors here for desserts and other foods.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The fun part in yesterday's festivities was watching Mike's parrot poop on command. Guess who got the brunt of it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
