And for those not interested in Flying stuff:
Friday: Tour of Historic Downtown McMinnville
Saturday: Winery Tour

Additional notes: instead of Tom doing work on CT’s in the open. We will schedule him (if he comes again) and put him in a hanger where the work is done out of the way.

Demo rides will be scheduled.

Schedule Rust removal flights: have professional flight instructors available for you to brush up on your skills. Short field landings and takeoffs, slow flight, stalls, - whatever skills you need a little practice with.

If we decide on McMinnville I will put package prices together including Lodging/Meals/car rental, etc. probably allowing some savings.

What else?

The schedule looks good, I have the following suggestions:

1. I think there needs to be more time set aside for the CT Seminar - Tips and Tricks, it is the most important item for us as owners and should last at least a whole afternoon.

2. I also think we need to come up with more and different things for the gals to do during the day.

Alan,

Do you or better yet your wife have any ideas? Would they enjoy a shopping trip - there is a nice mall about a half hour away. Oregon's largest tourist attractions is about a half hour away as well - a casino!

I'll work on the CT seminar. Maybe we could have two - each with a couple of topics.

I can do a flap re-programming class.

We, (mainly my better half) will do some research and get back to you.

The Casino is not a good idea, could get real expensive, especially if we aren't there

How about:

Thursday: Guided walking tour of Historic Downtown McMinnville 1:00 pm / 3:00 pm

Friday: Trip to the Oregon Coast 9:00 am / 5:00 pm (seafood lunch / Hatfield Museum)

Saturday: Wine Country Tour 10:00 am / 4:30 pm (lunch in a vineyard)

I'd recommend a reception / get together at the Rooftop Bar on top of the Hotel Oregon in downtown MMV. Definitely a cool place, provided it doesn't rain.

A trip to the ocean sounds great, we will have to get input from all the gals when the Fly-In date get's closer.

Great Idea Roger !

Alan,

We did fly ther coast and you tried to land on that Prince cruise ship 10 miles out over the ocean. LOL

One thing we might consider is to not have a breakfast fly-out one day, (let everyone sleep in and have breakfast with the wife or friends) and fly to the coast for lunch.

That way we can take our wifes with us. We could have one of the seminars, (garmin or dynon) in the AM and meet at 11:00 for the lunch fly out to the coast. We could have an alternate location lined up in case of fog.

Perhaps on Saturday ?
