3rd FerrariChat.com Fly-In

Looks fun. Kind of a haul from Atlanta for me. I've done many fly ins. Always a good time.

 

Time flies! No pun intended.

I'd drive in. February 28 weekend marginally better for me than February 21st weekend. May or July OK too.

 

Please avoid May 16-18

 

Feb and Mar are out for me. Early May could work. I got my med back, and I just bought another Bo. It's like a sickness...

I could have sworn there was another one in there somewhere

 

Best of all - it's Ferrari red. lol

 

Since many of us can't make it to Texas, maybe FChatters around the country could host smaller regional fly-ins?

 

My Mooney would 'feel at home' if I showed up.

 

I come down near there - just down the road - fairly frequently... if I'm in the neighborhood when it happens, I'll drive up in a rental.

I fly in to SAN on a United regional and they won't divert to Gillespie. ha

Been to F-burg several times, I've over-eaten at the Rathskeller (I think that's the name.) a couple times.

 

May 9-10?

Just tossing it out there. I'm clear on that wknd. I'm out of town after that for a few weekends.

 

I'm not dead yet!

Gone all WW1 - my second build made the cover of this Feb's 'KITPLANES' mag. May not can get the Camel out there, but can be in San Antonio/Fredricksburg end of Feb!

Sounds really cool.. hope to make it one year in the future as I can see myself doing a few things in the US once qualified here..

 

bump. Just wanted to start the conversation on dates again in hopes of putting it on my calendar.

 

First weekend in March?

 

I might be in, depending upon my travel schedule. I have a few weekend commitments scattered throughout the next few months. If I can make it, I'll throw the whole 'famn damily' in the Baron and leave the Ferrari at home.

 

I am interested. My wife and I have been making a Hangar Hotel trip between Christmas and New Years with several other flying friends for the past couple of years. Always a fun time...

How does ground transportation work with the FChat flyout? Is everyone responsible for their own car through the motor pool?

 

No excuse? I'd love to show up to a FChat fly in. But, my little SII burns an average of 1200pph,(around 185gph). KBFL to T82 is around 1100nm, and that is only if you can go direct. That would be around 5.5 hours round trip. With Jet A at an average of 6 bucks per gal, fuel cost alone would be over 6 grand. That would be a very expensive burger!
