December 17 flight plans anyone?

Is anyone planning on celebrating the 100th anniversary by going out and
flying on 12/17? Going anywhere special or simply converting cash into
lift? So long as it's a VFR day here in the CA central valley, I'm planning
on leaving work a couple hours early and going flying. Nowhere special,
just planning on enjoying a chance to fly.

So far it looks like bad wx in the Northeast. I need to go on a biz trip
from Long Island to DC and I may fly the Warrior to JYO (Leesburg) and take
a cab to my destination in McLean. I have a plane ticket on the Delta
Shuttle but I'll hop in the plane if the stars line up. It'll probably be
busy at the VFR altitudes so I would go IFR for the traffic and the ADIZ
considerations.

If not, I'll make sure to sit in my plane when I get home and bask in the
glory of it all.

Regards,

Marco

GRR sure sounds like a cold airport.

I'm going to Kitty Hawk right after opening the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
Hope to get a ride from a friend in a 172, but if weather doesn't allow I'll
drive.

If you are going to be in Northern VA you should try to visit the Steven F.
Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum. It opens Monday and is
WONDERFUL.

The Museum Of Flight (the Seattle one) has organized a 120-plane parade of
local pilots from Boeing Field. I plan to be a spotter on a friend's plane.
That's if the weather cooperates: go decision will be at 9am.

We have three flying clubs getting together for a formation flight over
the Okanagan Valley, BC Canada. Anyone wishing to join in should be at
the Kelowna Flying Club building at Kelowna Airport before 1030 hrs.

Not even going to be flying,,, it falls on my lesson day, but I'll be on the
Frasca Sim for my instrument lesson practicing DME arcs (since none of my
FBO's Cessna's have DME). I WILL be flying on my birthday, the following
week (December 24th) so I will be celebrating my 4th 'anniversary' of taking
my first lesson, ever (I'll be turning 43 and I took my introductory
flight/first lesson on my 39th birthday).

Have fun!
