Love's Landing Fly-In
 
This looks like a good one.

Saturday November 3rd BBQ at a grass field.

Very good Fly-in
 
Ollie & Lorene have hosted it many years and the best food I have ever seen and plenty of it. Usually more than 100 planes. Grass runway has always been smooth, but has a blind rise on the south end. Just be watchfull, not a problem. Barbara & I will be there.

Someone tell Ollie "hi" for me. The last gathering I was at there was to celebrate my Dad's life.:( My Dad's the one on Ollie's "wall of honor" with the Yak 52 TW.

Woodman and Myra will be there. Wouldn't miss Ollie's Bar-B-Que.

As I remember, be aware when landing on the south heading, it's like a table top. You need to bleed the speed off or you re-launch.
This year I get to land as a TW airplane. :)

See you there.

Been there, done that. Much to the amusement of the "Buzzard's Row" I'm sure!
Pretty sure it's landing northbound though.

Still RV-less
 
The best grass roots (love me a good pun) fly-in in Florida as far as I'm concerned. Ollie and Lorene are awesome hosts and kind people. Having said that, I'm not sure I want to drone on up there in a beat up rented Cessna 152. If any local RVers or anyone passing through the area (I'm at KPCM - 7 miles West of KLAL) need an extra 155 lbs in their right/back seat for weight and balance purposes, I can help with that! :D I'll cover lunch and chip in for fuel.....and be grateful for the seat time, of course. Let me know if you're interested, please.

Good to hear I will not be eating alone. Sorry Ryan, not really on my way. I haven't finished the RV-9 yet so I will be in the Citabria.
Weather should be perfect. See ya there.

I have a PAX but George may have an extra seat.

PM'd you with his home number.
