EAA Chapter 91 will host the RV1 at the Lee's Summit Municipal Airport (KLXT) on May 29 as part of the Tour of the West. See www.rv-1.org for other tour stops/itinerary.
KC Flight/EAA Chapter 91 pilots Bill Gill (RV7) and Keith Schult (RV6A) will fly escort for the RV1 as it makes its way to KLXT via fuel stops in Illinois and Moberly, MO the morning of the 29th.
We'll spend the afternoon talking RVs and shooting photos of local/transient RVs next to "The One."
We also plan a late afternoon/early evening ground "formation" photo of all available RVs on the ramp at KLXT, followed by a BBQ dinner at 6:30pm in our main chapter hangar. The RV1 pilot for this leg of the tour is Bob Mills; we've asked Bob to give a short dinner talk about flying the RV1.
Dinner is catered, so please contact me via PM, email or phone (816) 956-1887 with your entree selection (smoked chicken, pulled pork, or some of each) not later than Thursday, May 24 so we can get the portions right. Cost will be $12 per person and the menu also includes slaw, beans, bread, beverage (iced tea/lemonade or soft drinks) and cookies for dessert.
The One will depart Lee's Summit on the morning of May 30 headed west to Kansas and Colorado, again escorted by Bill Gill.
Great plane on an historic tour before donation to the EAA museum, great company, great food-what better excuse do you need to fly to KC?
See you at KLXT on the 29th!
