Another "Show of Hands" for this nearby event that is in our backyard, from the South East Bonanza Group:
From their John Douglas: I’m getting close to finalizing the
agenda and decisions for the proposed Chattanooga fly-in in September.
The proposed dates are Thursday the 19th thru Sunday the 22nd.
Tom has provided me great advice on top attractions to include in our agenda
and has reached out to a few of his contacts to assist with some pricing.
Much appreciated Tom!
I just posted a Save-The-Date entry on the SEBS
website as I cleared some last hurdles over the weekend. Once I finalize
the agenda and budget, I’ll send to the board for approval before moving ahead
with opening registration. I’m hoping that is next week when back from
Beech Bash in the Bluegrass

This is currently just a "Show of Hands" of how would be interested in a weekend trip to Mackinac Island (upper peninsula of Michigan).. Initially just a Saturday lunch/tour. If anyone is also interested, we could perhaps spend the night. "Signing up" merely means you're interested - no commitments. This is more efficient than sending me an emaill. C'mon! :) |

This is an 'Event in the Making' My wife and I and another couple are planning on going there based on GLOWING recommendations. Interested in joining us? Fishing is apparently GREAT this time of year, as the competition (other fishermen) is minimal. Ok, that's because it's cold on the water, BUT a great time to 'scout out the area' at FORTY PERCENT OFF!! Drop me a line! Or just 'sign up' (there's no 'commitment') and that will automatically give me all your contact info! We ORIGINALLY were going Thur-Sunday, but now Sat-Tues...
You need to make reservations for EVERYTHING - INCLUDING the restaurant because the are largely shut down.

Door Cty Fall Tour

Event type: Mini Airport ID: KSUE Location: NE Wisconsin How long: thru Sunday Start time: Fri/Sat Time zone: CST Event place URL: https://www.doorcounty.com/ Event resort URL: http://www.alpineresort.com/

You don't want to miss this!!! It is TIME TO START FLYING AGAIN! - Or certainly will be by September - but rooms/tours are filling up NOW!!!
Basically ' a 3 day weekend during the fall season of Door County'.... We'll have a welcome/burger cookout, but rooms etc will be on your own.
This is a "MINI' Event, so the MBS/Henry is primarily COORDINATING rooms/food, but not taking money/reservations for rooms directly. So, unlike say "Rough River" this is a full town and not an enclosed resort - we have the entire County to explore, if we want! Check out the web links in the "Click Here for Additional Information'" PDF link below for a big list of accommodations/ events (eg Trolley tours, horseback riding)
Depending on how big of a commitment we get, we are willing to make the deposit for something like a "Trolley bus Wine Tour", where we are LIKELY to be a large group that wants to stay together (2 month advance reservation or they sell out!) but will be less committed to being directly involved in things like horseback riding that don't really need 'group reservations'.
The Registration fee includes rental of 1-2 (mini-)vans for transportation, as well as the wine/cheese reception
Someone could take the van and go shopping if they don't want to do the wine tour..
We have a LOT of Flexibility!
Click on the "Click Here for Additional Information' to get the PDF I've put together for ideas
Use the ACTIVITIES section a) to register/pay, but mostly b) to 'show of hands' for who MIGHT be interested in Trolley tour, horseback riding, Park tours, etc. Rather than me sifting through emails, this gives me a nice report of 'who is interested in what'. The prices listed are estimates that you would pay directly to the Trolley/Stable, not MBS and are there for reference..
TENTATIVE itinerary
Friday FBO Reception at KSUE Only 1 mi down the road from Potawatomi State park. I'll bring a few Trek bikes if anyone wants to get in some bike riding
Dinner / Cookout /Wine-Cheese Sunset Burgers / Brats /Chicken / Ribs Per PDF, we have a waterfront house and will host this there.
Sat Morning: Breakfast is on your own But I'm thinking of offering a 'family style' breakfast at our house - it's an option.....
Nature Tour: We'll have 1-2 (Mini) Vans, and some bikes, so we have some DIY leaf watching options! Wine Tour : Goes from about 10-3pm
Trolley Tour (Trolley company has OTHER tours (lighthouse, etc), but the 'Wine Tour' seems to be the perennial favorite, so that's the 'default' The Wine Tour is 5 hrs long (10am to 3pm), and about $75 pp. You can see the full list of tours as a hyperlink on the PDF here on the MBS site. About TWO Months before the event, we'll do a poll and see who wants what, as I presume a major part of most of us is 'to be with the rest of the group...'
Lunch is officially 'on your own' but we may do sandwiches/ Cookout at the House (For those NOT on the 10am - 3pm Wine Trolley Tour).. MIGHT be able to sneak in some Bike rides. Trails nearby almost everything 😊 I have a 4 bike rack on the back of the Minivan, and 4 trail bikes in the basement...
Dinner: “Fish Boil Event” (gotta see a ‘boil over’, even if you’re having the chicken 😊 )
Sunday 8’sh Breakfast The ‘famous’ Al Johnson’s IF They aren’t booked as often they are with 40+ minute waits, which is better "by 8, before church gets out..."' People are up for the 30 minute Drive to Sister Bay
Or, local family favorite “Scaturo’s” in Sturgeon Bay Near airport and Potawatomi St. Park, if we didn’t get bike riding in Yesterday..
Afternoon : Departure…..

Afternoon : Departure…..
You don't want to miss this!!!
Basically ' a 3 day weekend during the fall season of Door County'....We'll have a welcome/burger cookout, but rooms etc will be on your own. Remember that this is a "MINI' Event, so the MBS/Henry is taking minimal responsibility for finances/food I am MORE THAN HAPPY to help with hotels, etc, but there is no 'central MBS coordination' * Nice downtown Egg Harbor Motel: https://www.thelandingresort.com/ * Quaint, down the road 'looks like a Midwest version of 'Dirty Dancing' resort: http://www.alpineresort.com/
Depending on how big of a commitment we get, we are willing to make the deposit for something like a "Trolley bus Wine Tour", but will be less committed to things like horseback riding that we are more than happy to provide transportation to, but will back off on deposit/finances for. Ditto for nearby and excellent Golf course!
I have a house and a minivan up in Egg Harbor. We can set up a "Welcome Center" in the FBO Friday afternoon/evening.
Someone could take the van and go shopping if they don't want to do the wine tour, kind of thing. I'm open for ideas!
This is the PDF I've put together for ideas and a suggested itinerary.
Details: $15pp 'Registration' to cover cheese, etc. Use the ACTIVITIES section a) to register/pay your $15, but mostly b) to 'show of hands' for who MIGHT be interested in Trolley tour, horseback riding, Park tours, etc. Rather than me sifting through emails, this gives me a nice report of 'who is interested in what'. The prices listed are estimates that you would pay directly to the Trolley/Stable, not MBS and are there for reference..

This is an 'adjunct' to Sandy's "Come visit us in Shelbyville - just S of Nashville" post (below) Let's see if we can make a weekend out of it! This is a 'MINI event" which means that the MBS is not doing any formal registration/money-taking. We are just coordinating. Interested? Nashville is a BLAST! Sandy has organized 'official' trips to Nashville for the SE Bonanza Group in the past that were a BIG HIT, but let's start out small and do this as a 'mini' event, and take it from there. One note: If you have never been to Nashville/Ryman/GrandOlOpry, you GOTTA get this on your bucket list! Interested: Here's what you do: 1) Just click on SIGN ME UP 2) Then we'll coordinate with you the hotels/events/ that we can meet up for! That simple!

Historic Chattanooga !!!

It's a competition with Nashville for this weekend!
Presuming most people are '6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other..' when it comes to ' a fun place that we've never been to before...' and each within 30 minute flight of the other, let's see if more folks w/b interested in Chattanooga this weekend, or Nashville - we'll go to whichever one becomes the most popular. Ok, here's the Chattanooga pitch!
Historic Chattanooga is the home of beautiful - some would say 'undiscovered' riverfront beauty and the source of numerous civil war sites, being on the North/South dividing line. Southern hospitality and cuisine, but with OUT the hustle and crowds of Nashville (whose promo I also wrote! :))
Laid back, beautiful, educational - what more could you ask for, for a weekend with the hubby/wife and maybe even kids? Apparently, there IS such a thing as the "Chattanooga Choo Choo!" ( https://www.choochoo.com/ ) <-- HOTEL Room and/or Restaurant!!!

Door County Fall Tour (TBD)
|
Event type: Mini Airport ID: KSUE Location: NE Wisconsin How long: through Su Start time: Whenever people Time zone: CST Event place URL: https://www.doorcounty.com/ Event resort URL: http://www.alpineresort.com/
|
DATE TBD I NEED PEOPLE TO CONTACT ME TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO GET TOGETHER FOR THIS! THIS IS TYPICALLY A 3-4 PLANE EVENT, SO IT'S SMALL AND INTIMATE. BUT YOU HAVE TO CONTACT ME, AS THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN BY ITSELF :(
Basically ' a 3 day weekend during the fall season of Door County'....Remember that this is a "MINI' Event, so the MBS/Henry is taking minimal responsibility for finances/reservations. This gives you more flexibility for tours/trips that you may (or may not!) want to take. . We'll have a welcome/burger cookout, but rooms etc will be on your own. Depending on how big of a commitment we get, we are willing to make the deposit for something like a "Trolley bus Wine Tour", but will be less committed to things like horseback riding that we are more than happy to provide transportation to, but will back off on deposit/finances for. Ditto for nearby and excellent Golf course! I will set up something with The Landing Resort in 'downtown' Egg Harbor for accommodations, but there will probably not be any 'volume' discount, reserved block, etc.. I have a house and a minivan up in Egg Harbor. We can set up a "Welcome Center" in the FBO Friday afternoon/evening.
Someone could take the van and go shopping if they don't want to do the wine tour, kind of thing. I'm open for ideas!
This is the PDF I've put together for ideas and a suggested itinerary. Thoughts???? -Henry |

55th annual Reno Air Races! Air racing is billed as "the World's fastest motor sport" and Reno is one of the few remaining venues to experience.

We will have a Hospitality Suite at the hotel for evening gatherings, & we plan to have a prime rib dinner on Saturday evening. We will also make arrangements for parking your planes at a local airport & hopefully have both parking & fuel discounts. We will make arrangements for discount pricing for: transportation to/from the hotel & the race grounds, Race & Pit tickets, souvenir bag of goodies, & lunch. If there is enough interest, we will negotiate discount pricing for the Chairman's Hospitality Tent at the Race grounds We will also have some side trips arranged for the spouses, who do not want to "tire kick" every day.
Please contact Sandra asap to let her know of your interest in participating in this awesome event so we will know how many rooms to reserve!! Email her at dreambuildertwo@me.com |

100% Matching Donations by an anonymous donor!!!! If you ever said "I oughta help those in need....", here's your chance to not only do that, but ALSO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DOUBLE YOUR DONATION!!!!
Every day the phone rings at Angel Flight Central and someone in the Midwest, desperate and scared, shares their story. In all of these calls, Point A and Point B are seemingly insurmountable distances apart with no means for travel.
The quiet, yet significant, need for charitable aviation is enormous when you consider that any of us could become quickly overwhelmed with expenses and stress in the event of a family crisis that involves a need to travel. A general aviation pilot is often our passenger’s last hope due to their geographic location and medical condition as much as their strained financial situation.
By leveraging our resources to arrange transportation through volunteer pilots as well as other aviation resources, we are coordinating an average of five successfully completed missions every day for children and adults in need of accessing life-saving distant medical treatment. Disaster response and compassion missions are also included in our scope of services.
Through AFC’s linking relationships with collaborating organizations, approximately 24,000 charitable non-emergency missions take flight annually!
Your financial support is what allows Angel Flight Central to continue its matching service between unique aviation resources and urgent community needs. Join us in “giving hope wings” by enjoying a great day of golf at Prairie Landing! All tournament proceeds will be matched by an anonymous donor in 2017!

Solar Eclipse: NEW Sites -Carbondale is now CLOSED
|
Event type: Micro Airport ID: KMDH Location: Southern Illinois (Carbondale) How long: 1 Start time: Eclipse is at 1 Time zone: CST Event place URL: https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/?gclid=CPen3NzZuNMCFUi2wAodpjYA4Q Event resort URL: http://www.siairport.com/
|
If you have not pre-registered at Carbondale, it is too late to do so now. You will need to find another airport And as a public airport, ATC cannot turn you down. First come, first serve.
To help you plan alternates, here's the path, using ICAO airport identifiers as the 'line' that you can draw on Foreflight/FlyQ/etc to look for nearby alternate airports Below the airports i choose to 'draw a line', with the time of Total Eclipse. The eclipse begins about 1.5 Hrs before totality KGRI Grand Island, NI 1:00 CDT KSTJ St. Joseph, MO 1:10 CDT KMDH Carbondale, IL 1:21 CDT KHVC Hopkinsville, KY 1:27 CDT KSRB Sparta TN 1:30 CDT I am NOT recommending these as airports to go to, just that THESE airports will 'draw a line for you' of the total path, from which you can then choose your airport :) and from a PWK (Chicago Executive) member: Metropolis, IL (M30) airport has nothing planed so there should be plenty of room.
, anywhere less than 20
miles from the centerline of the eclipse should not compromise our experience
meaningfully. The path of totality in our part of the country is 71 miles
wide (and doesn’t vary that much elsewhere). SIU/Murphysboro Airport is
less than 11 miles north the centerline and only 3.6 seconds less of totality
than at Makanda, which is right on the centerline. Of course, right at
the edge of the path, as seen on maps, totality will be a brief flash, not
worth traveling. Chester, though not towered, has a 1-1/2-mile long,
• The partial eclipse will begin at 11:52 a.m. and end at 2:47 p.m. Totality will begin at 1:21 p.m.
From Lorn Honey ============================================================================================ Metropolis, IL (M30) airport has nothing planed so there should be plenty of
room. Anyone wanting to stop by can watch the event from the ramp.
Me. I plane on watching from my lawn chair in the back yard.
Metropolis is just across the river from Paducah, KY. Both areas
are in the total eclipse coverage. Paducah's Barkely airport is very
busy (KPAH) but still may have some room. If anyone is flying into
either of these airports you can call me right after the event if you wish and
I will come out. (270-443-4919). At Metropolis there is no
transportation from the airport to town but usually anyone at the airport will
be glade to give a person a lift. Motels in the are have been booked for
weeks and rooms are going for $700 / night and you have to book for three days.
If anyone gets stranded at either M30 or KPAH you can give me a call and
you can stay at our house if necessary. I will be leaving in the morning
for Chicago to pick up the Grandkids so they can come down and watch the
event. I will be back on Saturday, 8/19/17.
Lorn R. Honey Jr. N168U
From Dave MacAllister (Poplar Grove), from HIS FRIEND, Ed Myers: ===================================== Ed Myers says:
It appears that Carbondale, IL (KMDH) is not accepting any more aircraft for the eclipse. If you do not already have a reservation, do not go to KMDH.
Here is a list of airports I have put together as potential alternates. These are all uncontrolled airports that advertise that fuel is available.
As always, check NOTAMs before flight and consider contacting the airport you decide to fly to before departing to be sure that they can accommodate you.
And, if you get any pictures while you're there, please post them to the Chapter 1414 Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/EAA1414/
Take Care,
Ed Myers
