Iowa City Fly-In is THIS weekend, Saturday AND Sunday!

Of course, nowadays, "Adult Toy" has a whole 'nuther meaning...

Yeah, and we've had to carefully distance ourselves from the ubiquitous "Big
BOYS Toy Shows" that are going 'round the country.

You know, the ones with Hooters Girls, big monster trucks crushing things,
and lots of beer?

In contrast, we're a family show, free admission, proceeds going to the
Children's Museum for construction of an aviation exhibit. A world of
difference, but some people are still confused.

Elliott, surely you've followed this newsgroup long enough to know that
there is ALWAYS free beer in Iowa City...


Iowa City is fine if you want to look at some fishing boats g, but if you
want to see one of the country's finest private collections of vintage
airplanes - from the Golden Era of Aviation - well, there's only one place
to be this weekend ...(ANE) Anoka County-Blaine Airport, Minnesota!

Nice place you have, I was there on 05/03 I plan on making your place
one
of
my main stops on my ferry flights that pass through the area. I like
supporting locals rather then chains.

You were WHAT? You stopped in and didn't identify yourself? Dang it,
man,
how am I supposed to buy you guys beers if you keep showing up
anonymously!?
:-)

Seriously, when you stop in on a Wednesday/Thursday, that's our "weekend",
and chances are Mary and I won't be at the inn. That doesn't mean,
however,
that we can't be reached by phone! Just let me know you're coming, and
we'll hook up for a cold one or three.

Glad you liked the place. Which suite did you stay in?

I did identify myself and even told the guy at the counter if he see's you
to tell ya that NW_Pilot has checked in. He put me in the Amelia Earhart
Suite for the night. I do plan on stopping in some more as I will be getting
many coast to coast flights which will bring me through your neighborhood.

So close... and yes so far away....

Iam in Provo, Utah...

Yes Provo, I was there this winter. Try and get a beer at a restaurant
in Provo. It should qualify as an Olympic sport.

In restaurants I have had no problem. I a Sports bar I had to
register as a temporary member, pay a fee, get carded, and then could
get a beer...

Slightly odd, but not that bad....

THe other side of the coin is you can leave the car
open and full of bags you just got in the mall when you
go to have dinner and it will be there intact when you get back.

Well, Steven, two days later he probably said something "Hey, there was
a guy in the Earhart Suite a couple of days ago who said he knew you
off the internet. I'm not sure, but he said something about being from
the Northwest part of the state..."

Or something like that.

Sounds great! And ANE is a mere 1208 nm for me. That's over one hour
shorter than the 1360 to IOW!
