Thorp Air Command - T18.net

No problem. Just didn't want to miss a discount if there was one.

I was just looking at the dates for both. It would be a trek for me to get from the gulf coast to Sedona - but it seems this might be a once in a lifetime event and worth the effort.
If the weather does not cooperate, it may be a commercial fly to PHX and drive north.
I'd still plan to have 66WT at SNF.
KK played a big part in 45881 and a visit to Ken and Gerry was first stop once we arrived at Oshkosh.
Matt is right- the dates don't overlap- do both if you can.

Thanks for the reminder.

I just talked to "Hilah" and booked my wife and myself for the Sky Ranch Lodge. I've been to a T-18 gathering in Paso Robles and one in Colorado years ago. This could be the first one I actually fly in!

I (Lee) has posted some updated info for the Sedona 2015 Fly-In on the Calendar page of the forum . Good News is you can make it a double header and attend Sedona and then make SNF with plenty of time to log Squall lines and count Tornado Magnets as they go by !

Just booked a room for Fri/Sat nights for the wife and I, now we just have to pray that the weather in Seattle will lets us get outa town. We have a couple of options for a route, we can head south (the low route terrain wise) through the "Republic of Kalifornia" and wave at the Visalia crew as we sail past for about 10 hours of flying time or we can take the "high" route through Utah and 7 hours of flying. We are also entertaining the idea of flying on to Sun-n-Fun just another 12 hours or so across the "flat" lands.

It has been brought to my attention that the toll free number that is posted on the T18 calendar page for the Sky Ranch Lodge is incorrect . It shows 1-800-708-6400 . Should be 1-888-708-6400

MaryKay and I are booked! Be advised, she turns 50 on Thursday. Isn't that cool?
Cubes

You might think 50 is cool , but how does Mary Kay feel about it ? DOH !

Youngsters!

Cubes

I hope so Cubes, I believe Ira booked a room we been wantin to go real bad. I wanted Gloria to atten this one I know she would have a ball, we had a blast attending Frazes gathering last year. You know all about work Cubes so that will also be a Factor, but don't count us out just yet!!! Dan

Sedona 2015 Update...

The 10 rooms I had blocked off at the Sky Ranch Lodge have been taken . If you have one of the 10 rooms and decide to CNX please let me know so I can post the vacant room . If you still need a room call the Lodge and see what's available . They might have more of the Garden Rooms available . If not you can upgrade to the next level room for a bit more . Worst case book a room in town at the Bates Motel . We should have at least 2 cars available for transportation to shuttle non-lodge folks to town . If there is enough interest I can set up a Pink Jeep tour for Saturday . It would be the Coyote Canyon Tour (1.5 hours) . I will try and sked it for a sunset tour and then we can meet at the Mesa Grill for a group dinner . Right now I have 10 AC arriving for Fri. , Sat., Sun . I expect up to 5 more thru out the 3 days . I really need to know how many would like to take the Pink Jeep Tour on Saturday ? You can get tour info at http://www.pinkjeeptours.com and go to the Sedona section

Fred the Sedona Fly In coordinator has assured me we will get 1/2 price tie downs and 30 cents off the price of fuel . I'll see if the Government comes thru when I talk to him about the tie down location . Questions now ?

Lodge 1-888-708-6400 and ask for Thorp T-18 group sales .

RB

It turns out that I won't be able to make it, Rich. My wife is scheduled to have a hip replacement operation around that time, but we don't know the exact day yet. We were waiting, hoping to know when, and that it was sometime after the fly in, but we just can't count on it. I'll call the lodge tomorrow and cancel, so there will be one more room available.
