Destination Flyout Events
Each year we also have a number of longer "destination" trips. These are perfect ways to get with an instructor to finish up that instrument rating. They also make great vacations! Start planning early, and get that plane (and instructor, if you're looking to turn it into a learning experience) booked! Let the front desk know if you're interested in any of those so we can plan appropriately!
If you're interested in camping under the wing, there is an opportunity starting the Friday before Labor Day in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan at Prickett-Grooms Field (6Y9) in Sidnaw. We'll be showing up the afternoon of 9/3, and probably leaving Sunday, 9/5. That leaves Labor Day itself available for doing stuff at home.
As usual, we will be doing Mackinac Island (KMCD) in September. We look forward to this every year, and it's always a blast. We plan on arriving Friday, 9/10 and departing Sunday, 9/12. We'll be staying at the Lakeview Hotel as usual. They've always taken good care of us, but you're free to select another hotel if you prefer. Call and make a reservation!
For the winter trip, we're again looking to change things out a bit. We're looking at a number of options, including
- Bar Ten, A dude ranch near the Grand Canyon with its own airport (1Z1)
- The Gulf Coast, perhaps Cedar Key, which has not had oil come ashore!
- Atlantic seaboard, perhaps Amelia Island or southern Georgia
- Key West
Please, post your thoughts, ideas, and comments to the Mailing List . Tell us what excites you and what you don't want to have anything to do with. Let us know any ideas that you have or neat places you've been that you think we might be interested in! And there's no reason that the fly-outs need to be "official" A&M events. Use this list as a way to organize some of your friends to fly places with you and us! (Note that this is what the webmaster has done above with the Gaston's Fly-in and the Sidnaw Labor Day Weekend fly-in.)
