Paul & the rest of you rotorheads out there,

We are having an EAA flyin/cookout here at Slobovia Outernational
Airport, just north of Jackson MS on Saturday, July 12. We

have a 4800 X

80 foot grass runway, with ~3000' lighted, so almost any

plane should be

able to land here.

You are all invited to the flyin. Since Herb was unable to host his
RotorMotor gathering this spring,  I would like to propose

that we have

a 'substitute RotorMotor' weekend in conjunction with the

flyin. We have

a couple of beds, lots of floor space for sleeping bags, &

acres & acres

of grass for tents.

Tracy has indicated that he will try to attend, so we should have at
least one flying example for those who haven't seen a

rotary fly yet.

 Herb Sanders has donated a 12A to the cause of education,

so we can do

a 'group teardown' to see just how easy the rotary is to

work on.  Lunch

Saturday will be BBQ pork, burgers, hotdogs, etc & the rest

of the time

we can hit one of the nearby restaurants, order pizza, etc.

What's the collective opinion about this proposal?

Good idea Charlie. I always thought your place was an ideal
site. Folks, this
will be a very pleasant time. Good camping too.
Here are a few pics.

Charlie,
Great Idea!  I'll be there. I don't know if I'll be flying or driving though.  All you guys from regions other than 'the South' need to be forwarned that the weather is HOT in July in this part of the country.  Charlie, please reserve me a spot on the floor in the air conditioning!
