amillet Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 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. Alan Millet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Alexandrovich Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 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.

Val Alexandrovich Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 My club posted "local only" restriction due to smoke today, so we are not going to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milotron Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Not for me either. I do appreciate the invite though. Evidently I am defending my wallet from my family at Ikea today... iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel 10 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 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.

amillet Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 We had a great time. Flew two 2 ship formations. Weather was perfect. Smoke cleared out, air smooth, good food and good company. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
