    Do it again next year? I love going to Fredericksburg, just organized fly-in there for Columbia Club and we had (8) 300, 350, and 400's with about 19 people. Fun weekend as also shared hotel with the Cobra club.

    I have a conflict our usual last weekend of March with Australian GP. Y'all can do it without me and I could fly down on Saturday or we can do one of the early April weekends.

    Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) 08 - 10 Apr
    China (Shanghai) 15 - 17 Apr

    Thoughts? Who's in? I would think we could get at least half dozen planes in or more, it won't be a fly-in if only Russ and I bring planes. :)

    If Russ will allow me to fly one of his three planes, I can go...


    Seriously Russ.. What the camel have 85hp, 115? I can handle that.

    Just a little concerned about the landing..

    I think you should BUY the T-28 as it is the easiest of the three to fly. :)

    I will do that as a day trip before too long. Let Gene do a little more work, I want to see more of the finished project than Gene getting swamped by thousands of gallons of water. :)

    The silo is a bit of a mess right now but it should look a lot better by the time of the fly in. I was flying out to the west coast last week and Gene was on the flight and we talked a bit on how to get more FC members out and the fly in was one idea.

    I'm just a couple minutes from Little Rock municipal airport (pattern is over my house) so if my schedule permits it's really convenient to have people come over. The silo is only about 20 miles but it's about a 45 minute drive up there.

    Of course you guys are invited!

    I can't make any promises, but the silo should be open for (safe) tours by the end of this year. If there wasn't a curve in my drive way you guys could land there. :)
