Lake in the Sky Airshow, South Lake Tahoe KTVL: August 26-27, 2011 Join us at Lake Tahoe in 2011 for the 22nd year celebration of America's High Altitude Air Show. The Mooney Ambassadors are the only type club that has specifically been invited by the event administration for the past several years. We had 22 airplanes in 2009, 14 in 2010, how many are coming in 2011?  Friday night dinner is a salute to Veterans who have served or are serving our country. Saturday is the big day, and we expect upwards of 11,000 visitors.

Double Eagle II Airport, KAEG outside Albuquerque New Mexico  Saturday August 27th  an open house with some displays, plane rides, things like that. maybe we could get some Mooneys to fly in as well? Point Person: Chris Gibson.

Wings Over Edenton, NC KEDE will happen again this year (weather permitting), on Saturday, September 24, 9-4ish, with wonderful old airplanes, old cars, old pilots, food, aerial demos. Plan to join us, and show off your Mooney! Better yet, plan to spend the weekend, and explore our lovely little historic waterfront town. Admission, parking, on-field camping, are all free. Hope to see some Mooneys here- mine's lonely. Point Person: Mimi Reiheld

Events We Encourage:
In speaking with Trey, MAPA is continuing the "Mooney of the Month" in 2011 and will seek contributions from the membership.  Photos should be color, JPG, high res. and portrait is preferred for a cover shot (see the Jan ’11 LOG for more about photos) and the article should include as much info. about the airplane, years of ownership, interesting flights etc.  It sounds fun so put your story/photo together and submit to: mapa@sbcglobal.net.

2011 MAPA Safety Foundation PPP $795.00, schedule your class today.
(Be proficient in your airplane) September 9-11 Pilot Proficiency Program, Atlantic City, NJ Oct. 7-9 Pilot Proficiency Program, Ownesboro, KY Tele: 210-525-8008 or email: mapa@sbcglobal.net


MAPA Convention:  2011 MAPA CONVENTION UPDATE FROM TREY:
Well folks it’s finally scheduled. This year we have decided to depart from our usual “once every three years” schedule of visiting Kerrville and return to the hometown of Mooney a year early. We do this so that if there is something new to report (no nothing important yet!) we will be nearby.
October 20 – 23, 2011 we will occupy the YO Ranch Resort and Conference Center for the 37th consecutive meeting of the Mooney Aircraft Pilots Association. We are putting together another great list of speakers and are beginning to contact exhibitors so mark October on your calendars now so that you can take part in the oldest and largest gathering of the Mooney family in the world. We will follow the successful format used last year in Colorado Springs – Welcome Reception with Exhibitors on Thursday evening, breakfast with the Exhibitors Friday morning and then begin seminars that afternoon. Once again we will plan only one seminar at a time so that no one has to pick and choose. Friday night after dinner we will all meet for dessert at the traditional Ice Cream Social. Saturday we will have seminars throughout the morning into early afternoon and the banquet    will complete activities Saturday night.
Watch future issues of the LOG and our website for more information. But mark your calendars now – October 20 through 23 at the YO in Kerrville. We will see you there!  Tele: 210-525-8008 or email: mapa@sbcglobal.net
