Thorp Air Command - T18.net

Well, here goes, the west coast fly-in will be held at KVIS!!! It will be on the weekend of the 10th those wishing to be here on Fri can rsvp so we can help get accomidations squared away. We have a very nice facilty with 2 Motels just a nice 3-5min walk from the strip as they are just across the street. The Comfort Inn and the Holidy Inn will do very well for accomidations. Saturday Ira,Dean and myself will provide BBQ for the lot of us and this will be a good time for a forum but nothing formal. This is an informal gathering to the rest of the world if the rest of the world should ask,and we cant help it if we all gathered at the same time simply by accident. More info to follow,post all questions and will be happy to answer. God Bless all Dan 575DG

Thanks Danny,
You can count on me being there from Friday thru Sunday.

Dan: You said the weekend of the 10th ? Which month ? I will try and get John Kerr to fly up also.

RB

Will be the weekend of the 10th of Sept, I will take off work on Friday to be at the airport to Greet and shuttle around. This will be fun, Our EAA chapter looks upon our little Thorp group at the field as though we are a bunch of Renegades(we are but we dont tell em that) so this could get very fun very quick. Mr Hunter and also Paul from Tacoma will make for a interesting few days. If we round it off with the onery Frase from over the mountain we will all have a ball. All are welcome, lets have a good time..Dan

That sounds great ! I'll plan on being there on Fri. and Sat for sure. Sun would be stretching as that be 3 days with Fraser and all of his Jockulearity. Pretty sure I can talk John Kerr to fly up also. I like my T-bone med. and the baked potato dry...thank you very much !

RB

T-BONE, done know about the bone, but we will have beef thats for sure, I will make sure the potato salad is a bit dry for you, the beans will be hot with Chili, probably have my good looking wife build a big pile of salsa and have some chips, the cold drinks will be iced.Would hope yu all would bring your wives, they will have a good time also......Dan

By the way, we have some tough econmic times right now, so if you guys and gals will just get here, I am going to try to take care of the meal, No Charge, just get yourselves here safe. For those that burn auto juice, Ira and I have fuel containers and can getyou down the street for some auto gas to put in your tank as the av stuff is a bit pricy now. Will be checking on motel rates and will post, just tryin to make it as easy as possible for all those that would like to come.....Dan

Sept & Oct seem to have piles of demands as to reunions, etc. I hope to make it, but am not sure of everything right now.

Amen to that. I have 2 other conflicting commitments on that weekend, so I won't be able to make it. [:(]

Saturday we will have our Forum, do some flying for those who want to, Photo session, I would like to have some of the recently completed pilots give a talk on their building experiances. We have a Real good meal planned for Sat afternoon and its Free. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Dan
