Default Gathering of Mustangs

Man - we should really get the "Mustang" RV-8's together for a picture - and a BBQ sandwich. How about October 18 at Rhodes' in Taylorsville, GA?
All you Mustang pilots out there - come on. I've got a reserved parking spot for you.

Default "Mustang" RV8s

I bet we could assemble a pretty sweet air-to-air photo flight that day too. Great idea!

Default Congrats

Congrats, Bill

Where is Taylorsville? I'm in Cornelia, Habersham Co., GA. KAJR. Northeast GA. I'll be back from LOE Fly In at Santa Teresa, New Mexico by the 18th. My RV is pretty much pre-invasion Mustang livery.

Would love to meet you guys.

We have the Runway Fish House about a quarter mile from KAJR. All you can eat---Fri-Sat Nite 5-8, and Sun 11-2. We have a lot of people fly in for that.

If your Flight Test Area includes KAJR, stop by. I'm usually around the airport from mid morning to late afternoon. Give me a call at 770-519-4999 and I'lll be sure to be here.

Mannan,
Taylorsville is about 8-10 miles west of KVPC in Cartersville, The Rhodes bunch always have a great shindig in the fall. Usually a lot of RV's if the weather cooperates. Cary Rhodes (the host) flies a RV 7, his brother Dennis has a RV 9 in my paint shop as we speak. They along with two sons are all part of this list. I'll personally invite you and sure if they monitor this thread will do the same. I don't think Cary would turn away anyone, let alone a RV! . PM me or one of the Rhodes for info and directions, we could meet up at VPC for the short flight over. Don't think I could stretch Cornelia from Cartersville in a 35 mile radius but phase 1 shouldn't take too long.
