As a matter of fact Jay you might want to personally write each and
every type society and offer to host their next national convention.
The Navioneers spend a week every July somewhere in the US. You have to
assure a good place to race, easy access to the airport (done!), decent
places to eat (not a problem) a fly-away destination (Ammana Colonies)
and places for the spouses to go if they want. Easy access to rent a
cars or the lack of need for rent a cars a plus. What you really need
is a dinner on field and/or clean out that big room for catered affairs!
When you send out your info make sure you describe number and types of
rooms. Some folks may have to share with their friends to get everyone in.

You'd probably have a better chance to get this off the ground with owners

article had Navion owners but others may include owners of Grumman
Tiger/Cheetah/Travelers, warbird-types (L-19s come to mind), Commanders,
Ercoupes, and Bellanca Vikings. In other words, close communities of
relatively uncommon or rare types. Call some of the clubs or associations of
these birds and run the idea by them. Who knows, they may even have one of
these "parties" as a regular occurrence and are looking for a change of
venue.

Actually, you should call these clubs anyway and work out any type of
get-together. You know, offer a reduced rate and stuff as an incentive.

Just read an article in the current issue of Private Pilot about a

"annual

inspection parties." Take a look at it.

Cool idea!

I wonder how many people would actually be able to take a week off work to
get their hands dirty, though?

I do an "owner assisted" annual every year (and really enjoy it) -- but

I'm

only able to steal a day or two -- and not the entire day, usually -- to

do

it. And I've got about as flexible a schedule as you can imagine.
