Hi all,
Wish I could join you all at McMinnville. I will be traveling to Vancouv
er, BC that Sunday on business
will probably overfly the airport while sitting in coach. Anyway, I fle
w to McMinnville a
couple of years ago in my Europa with some fellow RV hombuilders. We ha
d a great time! The museums are top notch.
Spent a full day between the two venues and wished I had more time. Ther
e is also an impressive array
of static displays outside. I didn't have a chance to try out the water
park, although it did look
really cool. Our group flew over to Redmond and we dropped in on Lancai
r. The gave a great tour, consider
most of the staff was at OSH that week.
Enjoy,

Please join us at the West Coast Europa Fly-In, the weekend of June 12
14, inMcMinnville, OR (KMMV). Plan to arrive Friday, where well hang ou
t at the FBO (Cirrus Aviation), admireeveryones Europa, and have a chanc
e to meet and chat. Weve arranged for discounted tickets to both the Ev
ergreen Museum and the indoor water park http://evergreenmuseum.org/ whi
ch features a 747 on the rooftop with waterslides out each of the four e
xits of the aircraft down to the pool. Supposed to be very cool! It pr
obably makes the most sense to do that Saturday, since they estimate 3 h
ours for the aviation museum, 2 hours for the space museum & as much wat
er time as you can handle. The water park also has educational exhibits
and several pools. Standard fees are $25 for the museums ($24 senior r
ate) and $32 for the water park, and these are discounted to $18 & $22 (
$40 for both) if we have at least 15 people. Well have a catered BBQ di
nner Saturday at the airport.Other options for activities in the area in
clude visiting the town of McMinnville,touring Williamette Valley wine c
ountry and visiting the Oregon shoreline. The FBO has reserved a block
of rooms at the nearby Comfort Inn, at a better ratethan we could get in
dividually. We will rent a vehicle so we can shuttle peopleback and for
th, and the Museum also operates a shuttle both to the airportand the ho
tel.Feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested
.Please contact us at butcher43@att.net as soon as possible if you plan
(or evenjust hope) to attend so we have preliminary numbers to share wit
h the FBO, hotel,caterer and museum. We'll flesh out the details, inclu
ding reservation information, as we have them. Looking forward to seeing
you! Jim & Heather ButcherN241BW
