Fly-In
 

Somebody mentioned White Waltham as a good venue for a fly-in on a different thread.

Anybody up for it? My permit application is in and the wings didn't fall off in the Vne dive so I'm ready. Anybody else fancy it? Anybody got a good date to do it?

WW's good for me - nice venue. Annual just completed, tanks filled and bank emptied. (Have overdraft- will travel).
What about weekend 10/11 March?

PS How are the new struts bearing up LnS?

WW W/E 10/11 OK.

Stik

I'm up for it.

I'm up for it as it's homebase!! (Not Sainsbury's!)

Let me know if I can help with catering/separate room etc./landing fees?

Regards, it's a good choice!!

PS I can be there on the 10th

WE 10/11 should be good for me with the usual weather caveats.

The struts are fine thanks. They didn't let go in the Vne dive so they must be OK :)

So that is next weekend then. What day are we doing it?

Coo - I hate hard questions. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif
What about - er - Saturday or -er - Sunday?
(Not necessarily in that order.....) http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif

Sorry chaps - I'll be in Jo'burg seeing my bestest friend. Full details available in African Aviation (Pitts Crash).

Stik

WW is my home airfield. Excellent venue.
How do we recognise a PPRuNe arrival?

Airclues

I'll wear my discrete Pprune badge -that'll test yer eyesight!!!
Call up Pprune fly-in on taxi in and I'll arrange parking north of the pumps or on the west line for all.

Good idea, time I froze my nadgers off in the flexwing again - I'll see if the weather and Mrs Genghis will let me out to play.

Capt Airclues - the best way to spot a PPRuNe arrival is to count the bounces. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif
(Percy himself would never consider less than three......)

rightstuffer

If my memory serves me correctly, they were never able to use the aircraft again after one of Percy's landings. :)

Airclues

I agree that in honour of the great ppercy, all prrune pparticipants in the pproposed pparty should pperform landings that "they can walk away from".

pps I bounced so much when checking out in a Cub at Waltham on Saturday that I have pprobably done enough 90 day landings to carry forward for the duration of my licence.

I shall try to come to the fly in in a ppup

I can only make it on Sunday. How about 12:30 ish (precision planning here). The forecast for Saturday is apparently pooh anyway.

I'll be in a yellow Cub G-BEUI. If spotted in the bar I'm the one with a bald patch, Vintage Piper Club badge and a Marlboro.

LNS!

You fly a Cub!! I think I love you (in the agapeic way of course!)

Unfortunately, wont have me PPL by then, but enjoy it one and all!

Sunday it is then....midday.
I'll be in Grumman Cheetah G-MOGI; and I'll be the one ordering /eating / re-ordering bacon butties..... http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif

Sounds like I'll be in the queue behing you rs!

RC, agapeic? What the Hell is that? :)

See you all on Sunday.

LNS,

Means paternal type love, is greek, used mainly in terms of male-male bondind-strictly not homosexual!

Rusty

Can't make Sunday, which is why I suggested Sat at the beginning of the thread! However, hope to be there for lunch on SATURDAY, if anybody is coming, let me know!!

Regards

PS RC, you swallowed Roget's Thesaurus?

No Can do Sunday (West Ham v Spurs) but if the weather is good I will be there mid dayish on Sat.

Thanks for clarifying that RC!

Pity we can't all make it on the same day. I'm sure that the glorious summer we ARE GOING TO HAVE will allow a meet at a later date.

Who will be there on Sunday apart from me?

I can try for Saturday but Sunday is out for me... but with my luck in attending these fly-in thingies don't count on it!

Having just surveyed the forecast carefully, I'm not convinced that either day is much of a goer. However, if I'm wrong, hopefully see you chaps there.

The forecast for Sunday seems to be better than Saturday. I'll give it a shot if it's good enough. I'm aiming to be there around 12:30. If you're going for it then email me for my mobile number and we can play spot the ringing sound as a guide to meeting up :)

If this mist clears we will be trying, I then aim to do Booker, Elstree, stapleford and back to Redhill.

Hopefully we will be there about 13.00

I'm still on - hope to be there late morning on Sunday.

The winds were supposed to be 220/10, they were more 250/30 so even getting the Fuji out of the hangar seemed pointless. There was scud about 600' so at about 13:30 the pub seemed the best place to be.

I hope those going tomorrow have better luck.

Looks like it's just me and Rightstuffer tomorrow if the wx is better than today.

Rs, e-mail me with your mobile number. I t would be a shame if 2 Ppruners were there and didn't meet up!

Ah well, at least the Cub got the clean and polish I've been meaning to do for ages.....

Couldn't make last w/e and it would appear that few of you could, too!

Anyone want to try again this w/e if the wx is good.

WW was the venue but would be happy to go anywhere within about 30 miles of WW.

Stik

who is itching to go out and play

Yeah... I'd be up for Saturday... also itching to do some.

B

Stuffed for Saturday. Up for Sunday though. Any takers for an attempt to invade WW again around lunchtime - early afternoon?

Me! WW, Sunday lunchtime. BTOBS

If I can get the aircraft and wx is OK I will be there.

Wx not great for tomorrow but maybe workable. I'm going to try if I can.

Ah well, crap again

Makes a change!! Spring nearly here LNS!!
