That sound like a great time. Maybe next Time. Long run from TX. Would like to do a several day trip next year.

Hi Brad,

Wish we could join you but RV4chick already made commitments for this weekend?
Can we take a raincheck for next time?

The CT crowd was just at PGA and has a great time. My wife looked at this photo of the FlightDesign invasion and termed it "Army of Cuteness"

Is not, should it be????

Lake Powell is an incredible place------

Maybe it should be,
We have a kinda annual fly-in with our 182-Flagstaff group.
I was thinking this weekend would be great but probably too short a notice. Maybe too close to LOE and Copperstate?
I don't know

DOH!

Brad,

This sounds like a whole lot of fun, but when I asked the accountant the other night, she said not bloody likely. We have a big trip planned Thanksgiving week to CO (potentially expensive if there is enough snow to ski) so we've got to keep a lid on it right now.

Sure would like to houseboat on Powell one of these days, though. Been living in AZ for almost twenty years now, and as yet have only been able to fly over Lake Powell. I'll bet viewing the stars would be magnificent while laying in a sleeping bag on the top deck of a house boat.

We'd definitely be interested again sometime when the timing is better.

Thanks a bunch for the offer.

My first flying job was at Lake Powell Air Service flying tourons and river runners

At one of these future events, I would love to lead a caravan over the tour route including Indian ruins, Movie sites, Rainbow bridge, and lunch at Monument Valley.

A majority of the Japo/Euro tourists we flew told us that the Lake Powell/Monument Valley air tour was more spectacular than the Grand Canyon.

Count me in

Myron,

I'm in on the caravan idea. I flew through Monument valley last spring, and it was the most inspiring flight I've ever made!

I'll buy lunch.
