Yes, 1st big one at my house was in '08 so this will be the 6th. If you want to be picky it's the 7th cause '07 was an impromptu gathering at my place after meeting up at the airshow.
Considering my house again this year if the head count isn't too large. Plenty of room out back to setup tents and such and only a few minutes from several hotel/motels. Also if weather
and such becomes an issue I've got nice Central Air/ Heat, Hi-speed internet and clean facilities to SSS (S***, Shower and Shave). I've got a 6 foot fire ring out back for campfires and
a propane grill for cooking. If anyone has a camper or whatever we can plug you into the house or the barn out back. Bring Chairs!! I've got 8 or 10 for the deck but will need more I'm sure.

For those of you who have never flown in a warbird, or done aerobatics!  I am attempting to fill a minimum of 10 slots so we can get a group rate on PT-17 rental for 1/2 hour rides.  I'm transitioning to taildraggers in this airplane here.  A 1/2 hour flight is $95.00.  I believe we have 5 slots booked already... provided wife-ak doesn't kill a couple of their hopes *cough* Jay *cough*  a great experience for all you warbird fanatics!  Plus an awesome chance for some great photos.  We will put on our own airshow.  The instructor I've requested is very experienced CFI, wit aerobatic credentials.  Questions can be directed to me via BBS, pm, or phone call/text @ 937-503-2420.

PT-17 flights have been confirmed, and tentatively scheduled for 6/22/13 to begin at  0900 local at 4OI (Waynesville Airport).  We will be attempting to raffle a 1/2 hour flight for free as well.  Provided we can get 10 confirmations for rides the price will go down to $90.00 per 1/2 hour ride.  Please express your intent to participate in this activity.

Awesome nef!  The airfield we will be flying out of has a designated Rc area, so I'll be bringing a couple of Rc planes and remotes.  We can dual up, and kill some time flying RC while we wait our turns for rides.  Looking like I'll be bringing the big trainer, and an albatros DVa, might bring an ultra micro mosquito depending on the wind.

my Dad learned how to fly in one of those things on 1942 before he went to the Pacific.....all his life he never stopped talking about how much fun he had flying them :airplane:
Title: Re: Official 2013 Dayton Gathering
Post by: Fonzy on June 04, 2013, 10:24:20 AM
This particular airplane we will be flying was built in '42, and was used at Patterson field to train pilots.  It was then in the air force museums inventory, until traded for a Cessna L4 to red stewart.  And yes... it is the most fun I've ever had in  an airplane.  Open cockpit with a radial choking smoke is the only way to fly!

Actually this is the 7th Offical Dayton Gathering, first one was in 07 that was the first one I set up a hotel block at the hotel and we all went to air show and museum. Then Shawk opened his backyard up for us all to have a gathering after the air show there. I still have the pic somewhere. 07 was NOT an impromptu gathering, it was all set up by me. So if you want to be technical, yes, this is the 7th gathering.

No.  She is getting married instead.  Leave it to her to have her priorities all funked up.  Sheesh.

She would have to bring Stuka and Tank at least and it's been proven that they like to pee on people.  That's yucky!

Sok, I was gonna poop in her pillow again  :D. The Air force Museum may be willing to let us take some group photos with some of the inventory in the WW2 hangar, and I just picked up a 1/72 P-51D to be given on sat the 22nd during the party.  Will keep you all posted on news from the General's office as I get it.

So it has been decided that we will NOT be going to the camp ground again this year.  SHawk has again graciously offered his pristine property.............. oh puke, dudes............we are gonna party and crash at Scott's house. 

Since we are looking at a very small confirmed crowd we can pitch tents in the lot of the mullet man.  Saturday is still a go for flights and Sunday I know for sure we are going to the museum.


Menu is currently being worked on but is looking better than oatmeal and Spam.  Please PM SHawk or I for address and contact info.


All are welcome, post if interested.

Well, the museum has declined our request, due to the fact its airshow wknd  and they are short handed because of the impending furloughs.      I'll start pestering the general for next years availability in the first week of July.  Can't wait to see everyone.

Do we get goggles or any eyewear? I really want to be able to see, so I was considering wearing my contacts. I am notorious for losing my glasses when fun levels reach a certain point.

I won't be coming, like Chef said, I am getting married. August 24th, so I have a ton of things going on with planning that and preparing for it. My animal rescue is also getting ready to take over a shelter in Wexford County Michigan, we are turning it into a no kill shelter :) so all the Board of Commissioner meetings and City Council Meetings along with planning my wedding and running my rescue keep me too busy for anything. I do miss the game though and my friends. Who knows, u may see me again lurking in the shadows in my tiffy o doom!! muahahahahahaaa!! :)

More then likely I will be attending and depending on my situation with work I may have a hotel on wheels.

Ohh xl on tee shirt.

LD,
Should be no problem.  If you want to sleep in the truck, the trailer can be dropped at SHawks shop, then drive over.  Or, drop the whole thing at the shop and bunk in an open tent.  We will be bringing a small extra one. 


Will, PM me your phone #.

I am hungry, now...

You sir are always welcome.

Fonzy, we may have 11 for flights.  SWkiljoy is IN!




Several comps will be set up for flying, any extra tarps or canopies that can be brought would be appreciated if the weather queen decides to piss on us, but it is looking good at this point.

Anyone showing up who wants to bring some food or plates, forks, etc, please call me as I don't need 10 people showing up with napkins. 

So far we have pulled pork and beef stew on the menu.  No chili.   :cry :aok  Need breakfast items.  I will bring mix for pancakes and waffles. 

If someone can bring a mobile charcoal grill let me know or I will buy one.  1 gas grill is just not enough.

It's crunch time, 2 days till we travel.  Lets get er done!

<S> all

.   Rides start at 0900 at 4OI  Wappo has first ride, but all others after that are open to who ever.

I got a great idea, since we are going to have multiple setups then we need to have a dueling tree for the 2nd ride. Whaddya say old chaps? A little friendly competition for the order of stearman flights?

Damn,  I think this just may be the best gathering yet!  Small group of peeps, but the shizz we are going to be doing is gonna rock!  We are reserved for 5-7 hours on the Stearman, so we have a little wiggle room for last minute riders that want to get in on it.  It's supposed to be a beautiful day Saturday.  I will be leaving Scott's around 7:50 am to go to Red Stewart Airfield to help Mike roll the airplane out, and finalize things with the airfield manager.  Going to see if they can email all the nessicary paperwork so we can get it filled out the night before.

Post by: Masherbrum on June 23, 2013, 11:32:49 PM
What a weekend to remember.   

First off.   Again many thanks to Scott and Robin for opening their home to us.

Tim, thank you for organizing the Stearman rides at Red Stewart Field.   I will never forget the 30 minutes of greatness, in my first small plane ride.   It was worth it and Mike was a phenomenal pilot.  it was great to spend some time with a former squaddie/friend.

Nate, it was awesome finally meeting you after at least 7 years of jokes online.

Brian, it always a fun time with you around, as well as your family.   Your food preparation is second to none and those brats....................lol, tip top!

Will and Rosie.   LOL, oh the fun that was had and the one liners going back and forth were priceless.   It was most excellent seeing you two again!   Will, I am glad you went for the Stearman ride and Rosie getting to go up as well, that was truly magnificent to be a part of.

OGIE.   It is always fun to chat with you and reflect other things than AH. 
 
Mike, it was excellent to see you again and an absolute priviledge to use Nef's and Bj's accounts to rattle peoples cages a bit.   it was most gracious to provide the use of four rigs to play on.

Lyric, my Australian friend.   It is always a pleasure chatting with you and the bait you were using Saturday night was top notch!   You exceeded the catch limit.   

Until next year my friends!
