kpaul Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 A big thanks to @mike_elliott, Ron Dubin, Lee Drumheller, @Seth and all the others that made this weekend another one for the books. Great presentations, comradery and flying all to Better the Breed and support the Bill Gilliland Foundation. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 (1) Great weekend of shared aviation and life experiences. (2) Thanks to The headline names that Kevin @kpaul listed above and all the support people they are married to and/or brought along! Msnames that are hard to find... @rocketman and @Ldrumheller (3) Extra thanks to all the people that came up to me to introduce themselves (everybody introduced themselves to each other) I felt extra special. (4) Thanks to the NJMPs for making me feel like I have all my stuff together. That was my longest flight leg ever, 820nm. (5) I had a top ten list that covers everybody... formators, vendors, timezone crossers, young guns, experienced guns, speakers, lunch table sharers, dinner table sharers, people I met because Craig started MS, people I have only met through PMs, People I met because they were traveling through NJ, Long time friends, short time friends, Mooney parents, Mooney kids, and I even met another chem-eng.! .... (10) I look forward to seeing you all again, soon. I raise my new Mooney mug to honor Mr. Gilliland who was on MS only too briefly. You will be remembered for bettering the breed. Healthy Exhaust systems are very important. Long live, and Go Mooney People! Sincerely, -a- 1 Quote

mike_elliott Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Posted October 2, 2017 You flatter me too much Mike. I have a new name for you as well, but I bet you know what that is. (I'll stay silent I promise). I've been called a lot of names, especially in the last 72 hrs, Andrew I'm sure I have earned most of them.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Raptor05121 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Posted October 2, 2017 What an amazing weekend. It was so awesome to finally put names to faces and screennames although I did not manage to make it around to meet all of you. My notebook is full of notes and brain full of memories. It was well worth the money spent. Thanks to ALL who made this possible! 1 Quote

Next year, we will have a user field instead of N number for registration. Here you can put your call sign, mooney space name, endearing term, N number or whatever you want and it will be on your badges. while around 60 percent of our attendee's are on Mooneyspace, a number are not, including sponsors, SME's (Max, Bruce Landsberg, Mari, etc) and it didn't make sense to co brand the Mooney Summit as a Mooneyspace event, just as it didn't make sense to co brand the Mooney Summit as the Mooney Flyer event. This user election field should placate this request going forward. Mike aka mike_elliott aka cementhead aka sweetiepie Quote
Danb Posted October 2, 2017 Report Posted October 2, 2017 Hey mike can you shoot me your address for the Silent auction purchase Also great job by you and the complete crew. Dan 1 Quote
gsxrpilot Posted October 2, 2017 Report Posted October 2, 2017 This was my first Summit and my only regret is that it is only my first. The organizers did a wonderful job and I thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions. It was also great to meet in person, so many of you on this forum. Specifically @kpaul, @carusoam, @Alan Fox, @Raptor05121, @Oldguy, @Bayern Speed, @Amelia and so many others... It was also good to catch up with old friends @201er, @Bob_Belville, Ashley and Maria, and many more. I'm looking forward to next year already. 4 Quote
