I won’t be attending.  My way of protesting Trump’s trade policy against Canada.  I’ll spend my vacation money at home.

Good idea Clarence. In my case I engaged myself in taking care of this event before the policy got applied. I gave my word so will do this to completion.

Yves,

Not trying to make this political, nor do I have anything against anyone on MS.  It’s just my way of saying it’s no way to treat your neighbour and allies.

In the spirit of solidarity with our brothers in the great white north, we'll be spending part of our summer holiday in Canada.

The US Canadian border used to be the longest open border on the planet. Shame on us American's for bringing that era to an end.

Luckily the boarder is still open to all of us, I don’t fear either country invading the other.

What part of the country will you be visiting?

Yes, but do that from a distance.  

[Guest]

Just bring some bait.

 

[steingar]

I've maintained the third class medical (instead of going with the Basic Med) because I want to do some flying in Canada.  And I agree, this is no way to treat your neighbor.

Quick question - are there any camping spots held in the North 40 for non caravan planes?

You can't hold camping spots.  They park the planes as they arrive.  It is first come first serve and you park by who lands before and after you.  That is the reason for the Caravan, so the group can camp together.

Bummer -  I don't quite make the requirements for caravan - I see they have an option for "group camping"  https://www.eaa.org/apps/airventure/north40/north40.aspx

maybe there are other folks here that may want to sign up?

Interesting,  It looks like that started last year.  That location was even further removed than the location the Caravan ended up in last year.  It is nice they are trying to allow small groups camp together.

You could plan on flying in just prior or just after the caravan arrival.  It would probably only put you a row or two away.

That doesn't make sense to me.  Missing the camaraderie of friends and fun for a political reason? Life is too short for that.  I expect to be there +1.

[mike_elliott]

Most likely will be there on the front end of the week.

You’re welcome to enjoy my share of the beer and pizza.  I don’t want to make this political and have the thread shut down.

I am planning on attending and will be bringing 4 friends.  If you are wondering, to afford to operate the TLS I had to add an extra row of seats.

[steingar]

I would happily fly with the Caravan if I could get in on the formation training.  But I can't really, so I can't fly with you guys.  A real pity.

[skydvrboy]

I'll be there with my dad and son in tow.  I'll also drink a beer in memory of M20Doc's absence and the days when you needed nothing more than a drivers license to cross the border.

[LANCECASPER]

I am planning on being there.
