The Copperstate Fly-in starts in nine days - Thursday, Oct 25th thru
   Sunday, Oct 28th. I plan to be there on Friday and maybe Sat, depending
   on who is going to be there. I will be driving from Tempe. Anyone want
   to meet for lunch or go to Al Gietzens' Forum on his 20 B?

   I've never been to this fly in. Is it worth an eleven hour drive
   from Texas?
   I would like to look at AL's 20B. When is his forum?

   Bob,

   My answer is it's an awful long drive for one or two good one hour
   forums.  Of course I'm 73 and siting that long would kill me.  Too
   bad you can't find someone that's flying in to share a ride.
   Hopefully there will be some rotary powered planes to dissect.  Al's
   forum is scheduled for Friday at 1pm and Saturday at 4 pm.

   Weather plays a BIG role in attendance at the Copperstate.  It seems
   that the West Coast pilots don't like to come if it's too hot, too
   cold, or just a little overcast along the ocean.  I know, I'm a 3rd
   generation Californian exiled  to Arizona.

   The web page for the Copperstate is:

   If you enter "Events & Displays" in the box on right, then click on
   Forums.  In the 2nd paragraph, click on the Highlighted "Forums
   Schedule PDF" and you will have the Forum schedule for the four days.
