Why does AOPA only have their meetings on the coasts.

'Cause surf's up, dude!

Given the Meigs fiasco, the politicians of Chicago certainly don't deserve
the attention and revenue that an AOPA conference would bring to the city.


Absolutely.

See, I thought that at first, but some else's post made me
realize....man, what fun that would be to see Daley's reaction to a
bunch of GA aircraft swarming the city!

Actually, Ft. Worth would be better than Dallas. Nice airports and less
congestion. Could use Ft. Worth Meacham (KFTW) or Ft. Worth Alliance
(AFW). Lots of room, lots of aviation close by (Bell, Mooney, L-M).
Choose any time from October to September and you have great weather.
Close to DFW if you want to use commercial traffic. Lower lodging costs
than DAL. And as a resident of that county and a TS native, must say
that there's a reason that tons of DAL residents drive to Ft. Worth for
museums, the zoo, stockyards, etc. while few make the trip the other
direction for anything except Mavericks or Stars games... (Cowboys and
Rangers aren't in DAL either!) Pardner, THAT ought to get a good range
war going! ;-)

Of course the most important aspect is whether it is a dry county /
precinct... One of those things you have to watch out for up around
Dallas...
Fort Worth isn't dry! I know, because I go there to buy booze. G

I don't know about Ft. Worth But there are places in Dallas where one side
of the street is dry, one side is wet and down the road is "private club"
only.

Where do you suggest?



Actually, Oklahoma City might not be bad.
