Jeff-
I think there were about 50 from the Louisville Chapter and 8 Europa people
.=C2- The Louisville people went out of their way to make us feel welcome
.=C2- Very nice group of people.=C2- I think they had (maybe) 10 aircra
ft in.=C2- One of the guys was balancing props in the afternoon and it wa
s enjoyable to see done.=C2- In addition to a very nice dinner, they had
a large number of door prizes, two of which are sitting on my desk.=C2- I
think the rates they get are dependent on the number of people, so I think
having us there worked out for them too.=C2-
It would be nice to have it pure Europa, but due to the small numbers, this
is a pretty nice solution if they want to do it that way again.

Troy & Fred,
I understand your concern. I too would be worried about vacancy =C2-
problems. I guess we need to call to see whats available. I think =C2-
having the other chapter there could also be a positive because like =C2-
last year they put on a nice presentation from lohley aircraft =C2-
coatings so I heard. Having a larger group can attract something like =C2
-
that. The best one we've had was the first year when all we did was =C2-
fly and drink beer & wine? Not at the same time by the way;o)
I will call on the dates to see what the situation looks like and =C2-
report back ASAP. Also since I missed last year due to weather it =C2-
would be nice to hear from those that we're there. How many planes and =C2
-
people showed up from the Lousiville chapter and how did they respond =C2
-
to our fly-in being the same week. I think I would rather be there =C2-
with other pilots & builders of planes than be there with a bunch of =C2-
boaters or golfers. Please no flaming from the boaters & golfers as I =C2
-
enjoy both.
Regards,
Jeff R. =C2-N128LJ Gold Rush
