If you're planning on consuming cocktails, make sure you bring them with you as it cannot be purchased there. They do have a few people running a special shuttle service if you need it.

Triple Tree
 
I plan tobe there. Is there airplane camping like Oshkosh & SNF, under wing?Do we need to place a placard on dash? Sure hope we have good weather, weather here in the mountains has not been all that great.

Most of it is camping.
In fact, 2 years ago they had me on a taxi way cut through the woods and I pitched the tent under trees. I don't remember having a placard, but maybe a ground freq and a follow me golf cart.

Here is the arrival/departure procedure...

http://www.tripletreeaerodrome.com/p...-fullscale.php

Weather is starting to look real good here after Tue, 1.8 RV hours North. We will have a tailwind coming down, but do expect some AM fog. Which is why we are leaving at 5 PM on Thur if possible.

Friday night steak night?
 
Ok so the site says Friday night steak night. Filet Mignon available for purchase. I'm picturing those little ones I see at Walmart. Is that what we are talking about? If I'm eatting a steak I want a nice ribeye or sirloin. Has anyone been to the steak night, do I need to bring my owe or is the steaks they have available great?

They have been great going on awesome!

I missed steak night last year, but the year before they had a butcher custom cutting whatever you wanted.

carlrai 09-03-2013 05:17 PM

steak!!
 
Last time (2 yrs ago) there was a butcher on site, cutting your choice of NY, Rib Eye, or Filet. You choose the thickness. Don't remember how much it was but it was VERY reasonable.
No - it ain't Wal Mart. This is great steak. Dan chime it....

Will be looking for you to confirm. Just hope it's the same as my last trip.

Steak
 
Just talked to a guy there that said this year it's only filet Mignon because it was too much trouble having a choice :-( just wish they had picked a differant cut.

The steaks were great, but you have to get in line early.
The good cuts go early & I believe he had sold out before the end.
I plan on bringing my own steak this year to avoid the lines and not be left out.

BTW, I recruited another RV from BKV so I won't be leaving alone.
Carl, I believe you were one of the builders of this 9A.

Weather still looks great.

Steak night
 
The Friday night is "Bring Your Own Steak" however ,the three years I have been there, there was someone who sold steaks off a refrig truck. Last year they sold out before I got to the front of the line. I think the increase in attendance and interest over the last several years has made it hard to estimate. I plan to carry a steak this year just in case. That Friday night meal has always been one of the highlights of that Fly In that none of the others have been able to match. This year looks like the weather will be great.
