Default Some From Arizona

Ron Smith RV-6a, Marv and Maxine Horn RV-6a, Tom and Katie Velvick RV-4 are flying down Friday morning from Phoenix, AZ. Dave and Ann RV-6a, Glenn Jackson RV-4, possibly Richard RV-6a, Tim Coldenhoff RV-9a and Bill Jacques RV-9a are flying in Saturday morning from Phoenix. I think most of us are staying at the La Quinta Inn (former Baymont Suites). Tom has rented a full size car and is going to be doing shuttle duties for some of the others.

Default Uh.....

Uh....could somebody inform me what is going on in LOE fly in? From the webpage of the LOE, I gather that it is a RV gahering. Are there forums, exhibits or airshow? Any program I can find on the web? Is there camping on the field? I am considering coming to LOE with my RV9eh.

Default My Plane but not Me

Well, I've been the last 3 years thanks to Dave Biddle. It figures that my plane is done and I can't make it.

The good news is N717EE will be there in the capable hands of Robbie Attaway. His plane is down for a minor prop problem so I offered him mine.

Bummer. I am giving him $20 bucks to buy me a raffle ticket. Maybe there will be a prize or two left after Tom and Katie Velvick run out of chances

Have fun everyone. Hopefully next year.

It's pretty much a social event. I've driven or flown a Spam can down for the last 4 years. There's usually a vendor or two there, but that's certainly not the focus of the event. It's mostly a place to look at airplanes and meet other builders. I've driven or flown a Spam can down for the last 4 years and although I've never really forced myself to meet anyone. It's still one of my favorite weekends of the year. I go home recharged and full of motivation to work on my own project.

I suppose you could camp on the field, but I've never seen anyone do it.

There's quite a few other things to do while in the area too. There's Hueco Tanks (pronounced Waco Tanks) State park, which has lots of amazing rock formations and Native American pictographs. It used to be one of the premier rock climbing areas in the country, but has been regulated to the point where it's not worth the drive (for climbing) anymore. You can make a quick trip to Mexico, or stay closer and eat lots of great food. The best Tamales anywhere in the southwest are in Canutillo, just a couple of miles from the airport. The place is called Tamales Lupita--don't let the appearance put you off. I usually eat several there and leave with several dozen for the freezer. If you take the old road from Santa Teresa toward Las Cruces, you'll pass a great New Mexican food place called Chope's. The food is spiced to local tastes, so if you're not used to very spicy foods be prepared to pay for your indulgence the next moring. Further along the same road you'll drive through one of the largest pecan growing areas in the world. A stop at Stahman Farms for some pecans and ice cream is well advised.

Hope to see you there,
Guy

If I had to describe the event using two words it would be 'Family Reunion'. Strictly social...and the highlight of my year RV-wise. Hope you can come!
