Mooney Roundup around Alabama Area

[1964-M20E]

I'm contemplating going.  I have several events this weekend trying to juggle around.

[Oldguy]

I am grounded for a couple of weeks while my seats are off getting redone. Probably going to be mid-August unless that is when the avionics shop puts me in for some work.

[Hank]

I'm up, weather permitting. It'll be a VFR run . . . .

I am reviving this thread. Is anyone committed to go to JKA this weekend? I am a definite maybe. It really depends on whether my unreliable painters show up on Saturday morning.

So, what time are we looking at? Lulu's, or Throwed Rolls, where pilots get advanced to the head of the line?

[1964-M20E]

I say Lu Lu's it is right there.

 

 

 

[Hank]

Noon-ish or before?

Hope weather is much better than today!

[WilliamR]

I'm down for LuLu's.  Me and my +1.  Pick a time and I'm/we are there.

 

 @Pasturepilot Jeremy, you going to OSH?  If not, let me know and we can coordinate.

Sorry, meant to ask @GTPH.  Perry, you or any of your partners interested in going?

Oops, family event on Saturday. Gotta back out here . . .

For the unwary, be advised there are three (3) FBOs at JKA. Be sure to meet at the right one!

[Pasturepilot]

Bride saw the menu, and combined with her love of Gulf Shores, she says we're in. We may fly down the night before. Which FBO is the rally point?

[WilliamR]

My vote is Gulf Air as it's slightly closer to LuLu's for those just flying in that day and willing to walk.  But I'm flexible.

Actually, I believe there are now two FBOs (Gulf Air as mentioned and Salt Air).  Platinum sadly closed.

If you choose to walk from the airport Gulf Air is about 0.6 miles, Salt air is about 0.9 miles.

I've used the crew car from Salt Air before and even made a pass out to the beach for a quick 30 minutes toes in the sand moment after eating.

Weather underground showing 40 to 50% scattered TS for mid day Saturday.  Should be able to dodge the buildups fairly easily.

 

Looks like maybe 3 planes and 6 people give or take a little.

looks like I will be at training for the local sheriff's office Saturday morning.  weather permitting I may fly over there for dinner.

Now there's an idea!

How busy is LuLu's on a summer Saturday?

No clue. We’ll make it a little busier. You gonna join us? 

If I’m reading this correctly it’s @WilliamR and me, each with a plus one? It’s ironic that the Alabama Mooney Roundup is two ships coming down from Atlanta.  

@1964-M20E what time do you figure you could make it over?

Amy and I are leaning toward leaving early, and landing at Dauphin Island for an hour or two before hopping back up to JKA for lunch.

We’d stick around to meet the dinner crowd, but the home strip, although lit, is a little treacherous after dark.

I'm thinking 5 or 6??  Nice thing is usually any TS activity is really dying off at this time.

My wife says WE have to go the fishing camp! I was hoping to though. It would be nice to meet some of you guys.

[Cloudsurfer11-03]

Would love to attend but my plane won't be out of the shop from it's avionics upgrade until mid week.

How did it go?

@WilliamR, myself, and our better halves had a fine lunch at LuLu’s. Maybe next time we can round up a few more to join!

Sorry @WilliamR, just saw this.  We were out of town on vacation and I wasn't checking emails very much.  Hope y'all had fun!

[Cloudsurfer11-03]

Sorry I wasn't able to make it. I'm glad some of you were able to get together. I pick up my plane Thursday morning and plan to attend the next meet up. I'm pretty psyched. See below for before and after pics the shop just sent me. 

FYI, we finally have 100LL again (after a 6 month wait due to tank issues and a management change) at KUBS and freshly renovated FBO so feel free to visit!

I'd give a kidney for your "before" panel. 

Awesome "after" panel!
