KBBW is not a bad airport for something like this because it’s Hicksville USA and no airspace worries. Heck, a lot of times pilots don’t even have their radios turned on!

I only have 2 T-hangers left but we might be able to get 6 Q’s squeezed in with minimal head scratching.

 

We could do Beatrice again (KBIE), but I don’t have many connections at that airport anymore and might be harder to coordinate.

 

I kind of like where Keith is going with the conversation but have been to the Mattoon fly in my younger years and it’s great too. Unfortunately for me, that time of year is extremely busy getting crops in the ground.

So my not-so-gentle nudging seems to have been received by Bruce. I would gladly host, but hey, even our valleys are above 4000’  😊  Would love to see other places too. Maybe Lynn French is vulnerable to nudging? 

 

Cheers,

Honey Lamb and I expressed an interest in hosting "Spring Fling" (she thinks you guys are "Special") so we could do that.  But would you guys n gals like to see other places perhaps?  Sleep on it and let me know.  Anyone else would like to host it would be most welcome.  But no not in the mountains if they are above 4000'.

Keith,

How about Mattoon?

That seemed like a good spot.

I know you had to travel a bit to get there and back, so maybe that is not appealing.?

Hello everyone, 

I've been talking to Jerry about the possibility of hosting in Terre Haute, IN.  Jerry has flown to HUF and is familiar with the facility there.  I also know Sam and Terry have been there too. 

There are a few logistics to work through but wondering from y'all what the interest would be in a Midwest venue. 

Take a look at KHUF and let me know your thoughts. 

If generally positive I'll look into it and get back. 

Thanks, Keith

I was recently reminded that there is not a Spring Fling planned for this Spring.  Kevin has been gracious enough to pick up the ball for FOD and therefore won’t be hosting Spring Fling this year.

 

It would be a terrible thing not to have a Spring Fling; it's a long-time tradition that I believe began with Kevin Boddiker 10 years or so ago.  Nancy and I, in the past,  have investigated the possibility of having either SF or FOD in or near Asheville, NC.  Each time we find that the local environment (Western NC, Northern SC and Eastern TN) does not fit the bill.  The bigger airports are towered and some have commercial airlines ( Asheville – 7, plus landing fees for non-locals) which greatly limits spontaneous fights. 

 

The smaller non-towered airports that would be appropriate are in the boondocks; several miles from motels, restaurants and transportation.  Plus they don’t have hangars for our Q’s or anyplace to gather.

 

All of this is to say, WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE STEP FORWARD TO HOST THE SPRINGFLING???

From what Kevin tells me, there isn’t much to do as far as preparation – give him a call.

I would really like to see you folks this spring.  Jerry Marstall
