Iowa City Fly In Breakfast This Sunday, 8/28
Our annual SERTOMA Fly-In Breakfast will be held at the Iowa City
Airport (KIOW) this coming Sunday, 8/28. Breakfast will begin at 7 AM, and usually serves till 1 PM or so. Mary and I will be at our booth, handing out helium balloons to the kids, brochures and coupons to the adults, and holding a couple of drawings for free suites. It's always a fun day, and this year you'll get to see a giant Chinook helicopter fly, as well as a Douglas C-47, and a myriad of other planes. If you're looking for a good excuse to fly this Sunday, and want to benefit a good cause (SERTOMA stands for "SERvice TO MAnkind"), drop in for some pancakes and hangar flying! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

They're sending down their "NewsCopter 9" to be on static display -- so we're betting that they'll cover the fly-in! The SERTOMA organizers have been doing this for 27 years in a row; they've got the game down pretty good! :-) BTW -- A correction: The C-47 is actually going to be a DC-3 painted in Ozark Airlines livery. Ozark serviced Iowa City with airline service from 1959 through 1972, so it will be a real blast of nostalgia for the people of Iowa City. Cooler yet, they will be giving rides for $50 bucks on Sunday -- and dual instruction on Saturday for $225. We're putting up the crew for the weekend, so I'm gonna have to hit 'em up for that... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

This is a no brainer trade the rooms for equal value flight time. Hell Jay

Where's the Chinook and DC-3 coming from? Just wondering as we here in
Central IL have a Chinook unit in Peoria and a DC-3 based here at BMI. Since there arent many DC-3's around painted in the Ozark Airlines scheme(1 that I know of), I'm guessing you'll be seeing the same one I share the traffic pattern with here at BMI. Here's a link to the group that runs the DC-3 I'm referring to. http://www.prairieaviationmuseum.org Same one? |

Got the plane booked and since we didn't break anything last weekend, we'll try to make the trip. Cool! Any idea on an ETA? I'll try to plan it so I can eat breakfast with you guys. (One of these days we really should try eating something healthy. It seems every time we get together, we're eating "coronary occlusion on a platter"... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

One thing I have noticed about these fly-in breakfasts is that on the flight home after filling up on pancakes and sausage, my stomach doesn't like the light turbulence as much. I try to make a fly-in breakfast almost every weekend throughout the summer. I'm considering Iowa City this Sunday -- no promises yet. Where else can I get a 'free' breakfast for the cost of ~25 gallons of fuel??? :-O -Greg B. |

Sounds like you're flying often. Is your hangar getting any closer to your home, or is it still a three county hike over to your bird? :-( Montblack |

I'm figuring a 2.5 hour flight to IOW from JYG. -Greg B. |
