Pacific NW BBQ Saturday 8/18

[amillet]

Several NW Mooney pilots are going to meet at KCLM (Port Angeles) on Saturday 8/18 for some formation practice.  Brenda and I will be hosting an informal BBQ lunch afterwards and are inviting all other Northwest Mooney pilots @Igor_U @Bob - S50 @Val Alexandrovich @milotron to join us.  Fly into W28 (Sequim) about 1:00 P.M. and we will give you a ride to our home for lunch. (Time approximate - when we finish our formation flying). Let me know if you plan to attend so we can plan for food and supplies.

I wish I could, but one of my partners has the airplane reserved for Friday and Saturday.  He's doing a Challenge Flight charity event on Saturday.  I haven't done any formation flying since my Air Force days and would love to do some again and see how much difference there is when flying behind a prop instead of sitting in front of a jet.

I will, however, be stopping at W28 on Monday when I have a 1300 blood bank pickup for Angel Flight West.

tomorrow:  Saturday August 18th.  Short notice, I know.

Hi Alan, thank you for the invite!

My wife and I would love to fly in and we have a plane booked for tomorrow, but we will have to wait till tomorrow morning to see how bad the smoke is.

Visibility was OK today.

It’s only a 2 hour drive in the car?

My club posted "local only" restriction due to smoke today, so we are not going to make it.

[milotron]

Not for me either. I do appreciate the invite though.

 Evidently I am defending my wallet from my family at Ikea today...

I hope this went well today!  Sadly M20J is still in the shop getting a new engine.  Hopefully it will be complete soon.  I look forward to joining the next one.  I have done a few formation clinics with Cessnas2Oshkosh in the past and really enjoyed it.  Looking forward to doing it in the Mooney.

We had a great time. Flew two 2 ship formations.  Weather was perfect. Smoke cleared out, air smooth, good food and good company.

Who are they?

Best regards,
