Invitation to Slobovia Outernational Pumpkin Drop, tomorrow
RVers,
Reminder of this event tomorrow, for those of you in the South:
Come on down to Slobovia Outernational (MS71), 10 miles north of Jackson MS, to eat some BBQ & participate in our 2nd annual Pumpkin Drop tomorrow, Nov 8, 2008. Give me a call at 601-879-9596 if you need directions.
There's a flyer in the calendar section with details.
Y'all come!

External ordnance. Isn't that why Van gave us hard points on the wings?

Wonderful name for an airport! Had the pleasure of landing there once in my trusty T-6. Wish you all the best....

Thanks, Pete. I wish you were a little closer & could attend. There's one T-6 based here now (not Ben C. any more) & it looks like there will be several in attendance.

You guys had a great event out there today, that was my first one - I think getting all of those kids involved was great!

I'm glad you had a good time.
We probably flew over 150 kids, a lot of whom had never been around airplanes before.
We'd love to see more RV's (including yours) next year.

So what speeds can you fly with pumpkins attached to the aformentioned hardpoints?? And what size, I'm sure the larger the pumpkin the more you'll have to reduce airspeeds??
How fun would it be to see a four ship roll in and dive bomb with pumpkins?

Actually, the hard point drop mechanism is still just a gleam in my eye :-) ; a project for my 'spare' time some time in the next decade.
The drops were flown by several standard and Super Cubs, a C170, a C180, a couple of Huskies, an Aeronca (I think), a Taylorcraft, a Helio Courier (trike!), and after everyone else gave up, a big turbine helicopter normally used for spraying pine trees. (No one came any closer from the chopper than the planes.)
I hope a lot of you can attend next year; experimentals were seriously underrepresented this year.
