Title: 2014 Dayton Gathering Thread
Post by: 1MADDOG1 on May 16, 2014, 10:07:32 AM
Skuzzy can you please Sticky this for me? Thanks!

Once again it's time for a party in Dayton! :x This year, the 2014 Dayton Gathering is scheduled for July 18th, 19th & 20th. It had been planned for the weekend of the Dayton Air Show on June 27th, 28th & 29th however, there were many conflicts in various individuals schedules. As in previous years, we will be setting up at the campground located at 1995 Ross Rd. Tipp City, OH 45371 It's called Great Miami Adventures. This is NOT a KOA Campground or Public Facility. This is Private Land. It sits right on the Great Miami River (Yes, he has Canoe's, Rafts ect. available). He has plenty of room for several RV's and  4-5 50Amp services for those. Tents can go just about anywhere you want to set up. Indoor Shower and Bathroom for those who just can't use a PortaPotty  Excuse me?!?! Multiple Fire Rings along the River, please avoid the fires if you eat my chili :D. We'll have a Giant 150 Foot Water SlipNSlide setup for entertainment :ahand, Swings into the River (he got a big hole dug out under it) & fishing if you like (Bring your Pole). I recommend Life Jackets if your playing in the water. (Some will be available) Plenty of Tables and Chairs under Pole Tents (Bring your own Chairs if you want comfy) Of Course, there are plenty of Hotel/Motels close by for those not into Camping. Camping will be 10 dollars a head per night (Price may vary as this was the previous price a couple of years ago). Saturday Party goers only will be asked to contribute to the Campground ($10 a head is typical)(Many bring Food, Beer, prizes, ect.) Entertainment for Saturday night this year is up in the air. It may consist of me setting up movies or doing a sort of D.J. thing again. This is basically an all weekend party with Wright-Patterson Air Museum close by. Last year most of us got together and took a ride on a Steerman Bi-plane. There are some gun ranges close by as well if you plan on popping off a few rounds as I plan to do. Main Party is Saturday Night.

Hope all the past attendees will be coming back, you all really make it a true party (You know who you are)
Please respond with at least a simple Yes or No and total members in party so I can get a head count.
All I can think of for now, cheers.

I've been checking the BBS a lot but never caught wind of a Dayton Thread until last night.
Megan and I will try and attend, been working 6 days a week and currently have court over my head with a great possibility of my license being suspended (looong story).
Job willing and praying that I will keep my driving privies, we will shoot for driving down early Saturday morning and staying the night.

P.S. Maybe it's just me but the website to the campgrounds isn't able to be brought up, problem loading page error several times...   :confused:

Well, i will be in attendance for the gathering, however I am Obligated to F.A.S.T. for an RC fly in on Saturday the 19th.  Is there a preferance to do the stearman rides saturday or sunday?   This also leaves us with another activity if anyone is interested?  There will be food and lots of flying at the rc field.  Giant scale to ultra micro, warbirds and the like.  There is also a tailgate swapmeet so good deals on rc stuff is a real possability. I can schedule for saturday if that is what the group prefers, as I have the Stearman at my disposal all of the time.  Please let me know A.S.A.P.  if josh is coming ill bring an acoustic guitar, and im sure we can play together for an hour or so (if anyone else has a guitar or bass bring it with you)  Saturday night.  Ill also see if i csn land a local band if the size of the group warrants it.  SHawk, any thoughts?   I know Stang will be there this year.  I will bring some misc. Food and drinks, snaks and some adult beverages

Waiting on a call back from 40I mgt now.  Also checking on bailing, must supply your own .45 tho.    Gonna see if they can attach green icons to the airplanes this year too.  Rosie, Mama-Fonzerelli, and myself were trying to vulch last year.   And no, the Rc fly-in/ cookout is in Phillipsburg Ohio.  Maybey 20 min or so from SHawk's place.  No alcohol permitted at the fly-in, so you must use a cup!  Free food and lots of cool rc planes, and a swap meet.   Will keep you all posted as info arrives about the Stearman and skydiving.  Anyone else feel inclined to skydive?   :airplane: :cheers:

I am very interested in when the Stearman rides will happen… Even if it’s too late to book a ride, I may make the 100mile trip just to shake a few hands and watch the Stearman.

CHEERS! goaly.

Great old plane, they give you the old style leather flight cap with intercom as well...(better fits the experience)
My Dad learned how to fly in one of those things at Pensacola in 1942....he never stopped talking about how much fun it was. (Apparently, if you pester the guy, he'll let you have the stick for a while as well)

It is not too late to book a tearman ride until they shut it down and put it in the hangar!  If iterested come on up.  937-838-7824 is my number.  Call or text with any questions reguardimg the skydiving or flights.  You must fly in an open cockpit warbird atleast once; why not with the rest of us virtual pilots :)

Is it open flying?  I might bring a plane or 2 out too....  What type of field? (Paved, Grass?) is it Turbine friendly?  (I can bring jets or no jets, doesn't matter to me)...

Very turbine friendly.  AMA has you flying with us.  617 feet of grass, we keep it short and it handles small electric planes with  no problem.  We have giant scale IMAA events.   I will be flying my Ultimate, and DeNight Special, and most likely my super cub.

Outdoor Range sounds fun. 90 yard Mosin Nagant shoot out?  $12 all day isn't bad. I would have to do some serious tetris car packing to bring the 91/30.  :D

I will be bringing some little pistolas and some ammo. :devil

OK, I'm bringing a little bit of adult beverages, lights, some chem lights in memory of Betty :rofl, some chips and diet soda. Also, I will be cooking chili for Friday Night.

We will need more soda's, plastic-ware, ice, coolers, salt & pepper, napkins, paper plates & bowls. I would get it all but, no massive road trip this year with jackpot winnings along the way.

Please ensure that all campers and those just showing up for Saturday, check in with me as I'm the liaison for the campground this year.

I will be leaving late Wednesday night to get there on Thursday afternoon. I could use any help from locals to set up due to getting a RFA procedure done on my lower back on Wednesday morning. I may be very limited on my movements.

Thanks Y'all!

Sorry Jud for your loss. Thanks Karaya for the sups....lol. hooch, PM sent with phone number. Since we are at the campground, I'll only be bringing 1 PC for misc. music, movies (mp4's) and such. Will not be bringing the big screen but will have a 32" monitor. Waiting on word if we will have an outside D.J. & Karaoke for Saturday night. If no D.J., you guys will have to deal with me for the entertainment or we can just keep feeding hooch and Aussie with adult beverages and make some great videos....lol

Quote from news sources:


June 20-21, 2015 will be the tentative dates of the next air show. That may change to meet the flying season schedule of the Thunderbirds, which show organizers aim to bring to Dayton after they skipped an appearance last year, Grevious said.

HEY! A big hats off to MADDOG for cowboyin' up and playing through the pain! :salute

It was great to see all the old faces again, AND meet the new ones (at least the ones I hadn't met before)!

Next year we will hold an introductory class on meteorology for SHawk. "Yeah, this rain is just about over," as the rain beat a hole in the ground all night on Friday night.

We will also try to help Karaya with his lack of self-esteem. "In a little over 30 seconds I shot down more planes than I had bullets in the plane. But I'm only an average pilot."

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night! :rolleyes: AND . . . If he passes out before dinner on Saturday night, he's going in the river! (And I'll personally drive to Pittsburgh and pick up Rosie, if he won't come.)

We need to find a ride for Boxboy!

Forcibly get Dragon stupid drunk if he won't do it on his own. And duct tape him to a tree if he makes MADDOG turn off "Midway" so he can watch "The Color Purple"!

Of course, I'm joking. But, as always, it was a great time with great food and friends we only see once a year -- one of my happiest times of the year!

Whoever is gonna take charge for next year, let me know if there is any local legwork needed. Be glad to help out.
