Texas 2018 Fly in - Saturday, April 14 Dallas Executive

[Yetti]

Putting the meeting at the top of the post

,All right folks. We are going to have a Fly-in at Dallas Executive, (that's Redbird to you old guys) (RBD), on Saturday, April 14. We will plan on having people begin to show up at or about 10:00 AM, with lunch anticipated at about 12:00. We will eat at Delta Charlie's restaurant in the terminal. (pretty decent food at fairly reasonable prices.) They usually push table together for us, and have plenty of room.

The City took over the self serve pump at RBD and have not opened it up for business.  I am beginning to question whether they ever will. I will contact the FBO and see if they will offer a discount for anyone needing fuel. Before, they offered one, but it was not enough to get too excited about. 

Put this on your calendar.

Brenham, Tyler, Stephenville, or I will be glad to host at Dallas (RBD) again.

[StevenL757]

What dates are being considered?  I wouldn't mind dropping in before annual around 21-30 May...if that's a timeline target being considered.

A north Texas flyin would be great since Don is willing to (or attempt to) host again.

You're on. We ought to plan on a month of so out. Folks might let me know what dates to avoid, or prefer. I know we will not be able to pick a date that works for everybody, but we can try our best.

If I can vote from KS I'd ask that 4/21, 4/28, and 5/5 be excluded. 5/5 especially since that is the Flying Monkeys formation clinic up here.

I'm not sure I can go, but avoiding those 3 weekends would be my preference.

Brenham is still not open.  Probably never will be.   Cameron Tx is still an option.   Hilltops lakes opens up March 10th

OUTSTANDING!  We will be there weather permitting.  If the Mooney is not out of annual by then can we show up in our taildragger or will we be barred from the field?

You would just have to park a few hundred yards away!

 

[MBDiagMan]

Oh well, I can always use the exercise.  At least you didn’t claim you would take us down with anti aircraft artillery.

Stop in at Avionics First at RBD while there. Just had them rip out 32 pounds of old radios and replace with Garmin including ADS-B. Now twenty one pounds lighter and a few knots faster from getting rid of three external antennas I didn’t need any more.

Will you be able to come Richie?

[Richie the C]

I plan to. My homeport is KGPM, five minutes away.

[DonMuncy]

Great!

[Yetti]

Leadership, I like it.   Weather permitting.

[MBDiagMan]

Yes, Don is clearly one that will step up to the plate.  He put together a great event venue and agenda last year and it was wonderful meeting him and the others.  Now.... if he can just learn to order up better weather for us.....

Thanks for (again) stepping up Don. It sounds like fun and I’d like to meet more of y’all in person but I’ve had reservations at Sun-n-Fun for a couple months already and will be flying some friends down to Lakeland for that weekend. Perhaps next year!

Come on guys. We are not going to let those west coast guys have a bigger turn out on April 14th than us, are we. 

Incidentally, if you think you are going to be able to make it, let me know (if you have not previously emailed me). Strictly for giving the restaurant a heads up on how many to expect. Not a commitment.

[mike_elliott]

and we cant let the TX guys out do us Floridians...I propose a fly in the same weekend at Lakeland ...oh wait....nevermind

Thanks. I read most all the posts in "general" and "miscellaneous", and sometimes forget that not everyone does.
