Wings to Walla Walla is back in 2022

[N252MK]

Hoping that COVID will be tamed enough, the mostly Mooney Wings to Walla Walla Fly-In has been scheduled for June 3-5, 2022. Base of ops will be the Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla, WA (reservations line 877-535-2729). Our great friends at The Mooney Flyer are graciously sponsoring wine and food on Friday evening! There will also be a raffle at that event for a Saturday Walla Walla cruising in a Model A Ford. Special tastings at one or two crowd favorite wineries are planned for Saturday and after dinner that night back at the Whitman there will be a white elephant wine exchange.

 

So if you’re a Mooney lover with a wine problem, or a wine lover with a Mooney problem, come and join old and new friends!

We will not miss this amazing Mooney Fly-In. Always awesome.

Is this an annual thing?  We'll probably have headed back east by then, but will keep it in mind for the future.

This fly in occurs maybe every two or three years. Covid of course throws a monkey wrench into things.

March update:

Things are shaping up for what looks like might be a fun and we’ll attended fly in. If you don’t mind sharing space with a Cirrus or two the NW Cirrus rep will have a brand new SR22 on display and the local Cirrus owners group will have some attendees.

Friday is the sponsored wine and eats event from our friends at The Mooney Flyer. There will be a few door prizes. Saturday morning there will be ogling and meeting on the ramp after our sumptuous buffet breakfast at the Whitman (included in hotel fee). There might be a presentation or two if logistics get worked out. Richard Simile and Phil Corman would each present something interesting to Mooney guys and gals and will otherwise be available for heckling.

Saturday will then encompass tasting at either a few wineries we’ve come to know and love or exploring any of the more than 150+ wineries in the area.

Saturday night might also have a sponsored dinner and afterwards back at the hotel will be a hidden wine exchange.

Y’all are invited to stay as long as you like but most of us will scatter away on Sunday.

Hope to see and meet all y’all there.

WINGS TO WALLA WALLA UPDATE

Hello spacers!  I've been remiss in letting you all know how our Wings to Walla Walla fly in has shaped up.  Well, I just returned from our "research" trip and things are pretty much set. It looks like it's going to be a great fly in. So far, 47 folks are registered. Mostly Mooneys, but a few straggling Cirri and Cessna's.

It's June 3-5 in, of course, Walla Walla, WA, KALW. Friday the 3rd is arrival, meet and greet and do some tasting (there is also Brandy tasting, Sprakling wine tasting and Craft Beer tasting AT THE AIRPORT tasting areas.

At 6pm our great friend at The Mooney Flyer are hosting wine and food event at a tasting room in town. If you are still hungry and/or sober enough, you're right downtown where there are multiple restaurants, tasting rooms and a variety of other watering holes.

Saturday morning is airplane gawking  on the ramp followed by special tastings at three in town wineries from 11-2, 2-3 and 3-5.

After dinner with your new found friends, there is a fun wine event on the Sun Patio at the Marcus Whitman hotel.

Only current issue is we sold out our hotel room block. We are working on finding more rooms at reasonable rates, so don't let that discourage you.

As always, everything is NO CHARGE, but you must register so that we can order enough food for the Friday event.

Here is the registration URL:  https://form.jotform.com/213474611723048

If you've been itching for a place to fly, this might be the ONE.

Oops. A few typos.

Friday night, if you're still hungry and/or sober after the Mooney Flyer event, you can traipse around downtown for more punishment.

Also Saturday winery tastings:  11-1. 1-3 and 3-5.

Just typos. I'm sober!

There is an edit button at the top of the post….  It looks like this “…”

That opens a menu that includes the edit…

Sounds like a fun time!

Best regard,

Always wanted to do that.  But the first track day at ORP is that weekend.  Can’t do it all.
