LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A FLY-IN!
Hi All,
I've been asked by Jim Butcher to see if we could put together an Arizona
fly-in.
After asking around, it looked best to shoot for something in January but as
you can see from Bud's email below, it looks like we have a date albeit short
notice. I'm currently scheduled to be away that weekend but am going to see
if I can rearrange things. Hopefully some of you will be able to make it -
weather
in Arizona this time of year - hell, just about any time of year - is fantastic,
so it should be a great time to meet and talk everything Europa.
Please reply to Dan Bish if you think you'll be able to make it, which day(s)
and
whether you're bringing your Europa. Dan will tally attendance and send the
results back. We think we have most of the West coast gang on this email (and
a few others possibly) but if you can think of anyone else who might be
interested,
please forward this email to them.
Dates - Saturday 12/4, Sunday 12/5
Time - Open, will try to arrange a meal we can all attend so will need a head
count
Best,
Dan

Guys and Gals interested,
Im going to assist Jack McKenzie prepping and test flying his Europa Trigear.
Jack is at Ryan Field (KRYN) (Just outside of Tucson AZ). I fly in on 1 Dec and
leave on the 6th.
Jack and I have been visiting and consulting on his plane for a few years and
with
Jack only able to work a year, he has completed his Europa and now has an
Airworthiness Certificate.
Weather looks great and anyone wanting to fly/drive in to visit the weekend of
the 4th and 5th we will make time for a get together. Im sure we will be there
most of the day Thursday through Sunday either flying or fixing (after all,
it is an airplane, and some tweaking may be necessary). Thursday we will
inspect,
and test run with a tentative initial flight on Thursday/Friday if all goes
well. We will be looking for anyone wishing to visit over the weekend. It
would be nice to gather for a Saturday or Sunday Lunch bunch meeting. The
restaurant
is Richie's Caf and lunch and dinner menus are nicely priced (for an airport
its really great). Here is hoping all goes well and we can see one another
in person, and Im sure Jacks plane will fly as good as his workmanship.
Wish us luck.
Bud Yerly
Please contact Dan Bish directly if you plan to attend. It's been years since
there was a west coast Europa fly-in, here's hoping this may be the first of
many.
