Fuel tank was filled yesterday, I think he said the price was now $3.90/gal. I love it! Proactive planning! I nominate @Culver LFA Southeast Regional President. You'll probably win unopposed, by a landslide if lunch is good . . . . . 1 1 Quote
kris_adams Posted April 16, 2019 Report Posted April 16, 2019 Can't believe this is going on the 1 weekend I have to be out of town for a family commitment... Quote
bob865 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 My folks live in Pine Mountain. I fly in regularly to visit, but can't make it for lunch due to work responsibilites. I told my mom about the lunch and she is talking about stopping by the airport to see all the Mooneys. If you see a lady in a red Rav 4 wandering about looking at the planes, say "Hi, Debra!" or "Hi, Mimi!" That will make her day. 1 Quote
Hank Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 Here's hoping tonight's weather system is nice to everyone. See ya'll Saturday! Quote

rbridges Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 I'm hoping to be there. Spoke with Mooneymite, and he said he'd try to make it, too. My daughter is rental house hunting in Atlanta this weekend, and we're supposed to help her at some point. Quote

Saturday looks great, but tonight will be ugly as junk moves out of Mississippi. We already have tornado warnings . . . And the sun is still shining. Quote
Richard Knapp Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Posted April 18, 2019 We are certainly planning on being there! Quote
kpaul Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 Hoping to make it. Have to get home tomorrow first. Had to weather the work planes out of Mississippi because of the tornado threat today. I'm sitting in Dayton, OH right now. Quote

I’ve been talking to him too, if he doesn’t show I think we should just fly over to Mallards landing instead 2 Quote

WilliamR Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 My schedule suddenly freed up. So, if you can fit one more Sat., I would love to come. Plus, I need to tanker some cheap fuel. I also promise to be on my best behavior. William Quote
Culver LFA Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 Unfortunately due to the rain last night I’m not able to fly, my grass runway will be wet until Monday/Tuesday. Here’s a photo of the local Chevrolet dealer located a couple miles from my hangar. 1 Quote

Hank Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 I have standing water in my yard right now, but nothing like that! Quote
bob865 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 My folks stopped by the airport. No flooding there......for now. 1 Quote
kpaul Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 Is this still a go? I will have to check the weather again in the morning. Looks like lots of wind, right now there is a 45 minute difference in my flight plan between going east and back west. I was bucking 118 knots of headwind on the way home today, thankfully not in the Mooney. Quote

Culver LFA Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 I was silently hoping someone would suggest another day? There is a lot of interest and another date not competing with a holiday would be good. Or, keep everything as is and let’s do another one next week! Quote
