Default America's Only Fly-In Pool Party is 7/25/09 -- You're invited!

We're just a few weeks away from America's only fly-in pool party at our
aviation themed hotel, the Alexis Park Inn & Suites! We're located right
next to Rwy 25 in Iowa City, IA (KIOW).

Here is your official invitation:
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm

Heading to OSH from the West? Don't do the FISK approach at the end of a
long x-country flight -- instead spend the night with fellow pilots, enjoy a
free cookout at poolside, and join us the next morning as we all fly into
OSH together! Iowa City is located just 90 minutes SW of Ripon, which means
you'll arrive in the world's busiest airspace fresh and (more importantly)
with people who have flown the approach many times.

Have you studied the NOTAM yet? If so, you'll know that you have to fly up
the railroad tracks from Ripon, after falling in trail behind the guy ahead
of you. This can be tricky, with planes converging on Ripon from all compass
points -- UNLESS you're already on the proper heading. Flying in from Iowa
City puts you precisely on the heading required, so no turns are required at
Ripon. It is quite literally a "straight shot" from Iowa City to Oshkosh!

Most of us camp in the North 40 at OSH, and one huge advantage to flying in
together as a group is that we all get parked near one another. You will
have the advantage of camping next to folks you already know, which makes
the week at OSH even more fun! (Remember, we do a Wednesday night party at
our site in the North 40, too, so you'll be close to the beer!)

This will be our 27th consecutive Oshkosh Fly In. We've thrown the pool
party for seven years (we bought the hotel in 2002, and spent the last seven
years converting each suite to a different aviation theme), and it's our way
of saying "Thanks!" to the pilot community for another great year! Whether
you spend the night, or just make Iowa City a fuel stop on your way to OSH,
be sure to join us at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites hotel for burgers, brats,
hot dogs, and refreshments -- all served for free!

Blue skies & tailwinds,

Jay & Mary

Golly, does this mean you can't make it?

It's an announcement of FREE BEER for all. (Does anyone remember the furor
THAT caused here a few years ago? Larry Dighera, where are you now?) If
that is "SPAM", well, I'm guilty. Sue me.

BTW: We're already sold out for the night, so I gain nothing by inviting
more people. It's just a helluva lot of fun...and THAT is what it's all
about.

Hope to see some of you guys in IOW!

:-)

I am sorry, but I do not see this as spam. I see a very dedicated
aviator inviting fellow aviators to join him for fun and relaxation
prior to going on to Oshkosh. It just so happens he owns a hotel (which
I want to visit sometime), and provides the opportunity for others to
join him. He even provides some amenities for free. Give the guy a
break. I find Jay just being a great open fellow. As a side, I am very
glad that he has been successful with his hotel. I still remember him
asking questions from the group on how he should proceed in building
this hotel and his changing careers. It was very interesting.

Go for it, Jay and keep it up. Maybe someday we can meet up.

You're reply is rude, idiotic, and wrong.
Put Jay ..."back on your list" for inviting everyone here to a free
party with free beer, which he's been doing for years. I doubt you
would be pleasant company anyway.
Good riddance.

If I wasn't (and I am) about 1800 miles to far away to accept your
offer... damn!
Free beer is considered a spam?
Where do these people live ?
Have a great weekend

Go for it, Jay and keep it up. Maybe someday we can meet up.

No worries -- we've made it through tornadoes, ice storms, 500-year floods,
and the worst economy since the 1930s. We won't let someone like Vaughn put
a damper on our enthusiasm for aviation and our fellow aviators!

Hope to see you in Iowa some day, Ross...

Notwithstanding that he'd yonks ago commented on me with a suspicion
that my origins probably naturally elicit where he comes from - and he
wasn't the only either, tbh, I couldn't concur with you more. Jay has
hardly been anything but dedicated and genial, not to mention composed
in the face of Bertie's persistent tripe. The cove's website
containing videos is a treat as well.

I wish his Pool Party a garrulous success )
