I'm flying the T to Missouri to see my brother over the 4th. We plan to fly into Skyhaven, Warrensburg. My Brother lives in Holden.
We plan to be there 2-4 days.

Is there anybody from that area, It would be great to meet up?

This is by far the longest trip I've done and I'm looking forward to it a great deal. I just hope I can get some sleep the night before :))

Hey Jeff thanks for the invite :) EWK, just north of Wichita?

Have you ever been to Miami Co. airport for the BBQ at We BE Smokin? I plan to stop for lunch.

I'm not sure how the 7th will work into our plans yet but I will stop if I can.

OK, the plan is to make it to We B Smokin' Tuesday, around 5 pm. Do you think you could make it?

We also hope to hit that Fly-in on Saturday coming back, but it will be pretty early.

I keep my T-18 at LXT and will be back by the 4th or a day earlier. There is also a T-18 at Warrensburg, Mark Otter. When you get in the area give me a call and I will be there. Fly early cause its hot!
