Catfish fry update
 
Mornin' guys/gals,
I didn't realize that good ole Southern fried catfish is so popular....or maybe it's just another excuse to go fly :) I started this new thread for those of you that didn't see the invitation on another thread. So far we have around six airplanes coming. Let me know here if you haven't responded on the other thread.

The deal is a catfish and shrimp lunch, hushpuppies and French fries, tea/coke etc around 12:30 PM next Saturday the 9th. Arrival anytime before lunch to BS, socialize etc, at my hangar in Louisville, Ga (2J3) probably around 10:30-11:00 A.M. Unicom 122.9 and I'll have a handheld comm. I'll also have a Catfish sign by the runway.

Regards,
Pierre

I'll be there!
 
Look for with at least one other RV, maybe a Cessna in tow!

I'll try my best to make it, Pierre. Sounds like a great idea.

Just for the record. Weather permitting, I'll be there and may have my wife in tow :)...

Thanks Pierre for pulling this together, I'm looking forward to drooling over some RV's.... er Catfish, oh is that what you call them :)

I specifcally noticed that :).... I use 3000's all the time, but don't think I'll try a 2400 until I have lots more flight time in one. :)

See ya on the 9th

At a Vans forum one year at SNF, they referred to non-RVers as BOOTS - Builders Of Other Types.

BTW I plan on attending and may bring one of the kids.

Alan... you can get into that 2400' strip no-problem. Just gotta take the station wagon (C-182).

aadamson 06-03-2007 01:16 PM

Yep, that is true.... :) Actually, I can made the first taxiway at LZU no problem on landing, but I have to try to make that happen. Take off isn't the problem, it's landing.... Heck with my new 6cyl version, take off will most likely happen very quick. I've been hearing from the only other one and climb performance is 2.5-3k fpm all the way to 13K (at least he's done that test) at 140-160kts (and that isn't even vy or vx) :).

Now if I'd just get the bloody thing done....

Can't wait to meet you local RV guys... From on of the BOOT'rs :)

Spot landing??
 
How would you guys feel about a spot landing contest upon arrival? I'd have a white flour line about 100 yards from the end of the active and it doesn't matter whether you touch down before or after the stripe....just whoever lands the closest. Winner gets to buy all the food!! :D Seriously, I might just crank up the Air Tractor and give the lucky guy/gal a ride in a turbine.

Regards,
Pierre
