Tracy, Ed, et.al.;
My first thought is “I’d
really like to be there”; which is immediately followed by “yeah,
but it’s way the h__l over in FL, and I can’t land at his airstrip
anyway”. Now, I realize that a rotary roundup anywhere but at Tracy and Laura’s just
wouldn’t be the same. But OTOH, perhaps if it were somewhere more toward the
center of mass of the rotary fliers, more of us could/would participate (or
then again, maybe you prefer to limit it to you Southeastern RV flyers J). Oh, not this
year, you understand; but something to think about for the future.
Maybe there is someone in Kansas who has the ideal
location; or maybe Missouri. Looking at the Frapper map of rotarys, that may result in
the lowest ‘radius of gyration’ so to speak (you non-technical
types can look it up on Wikipedia). Of course, that is still a long way from San Diego,
but a paved runway would be good.
Actually, I could probably host it in
Glen Ullin, ND (D57). I’m sure you would all like to fly up to the
Dakotas.

Up time!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, folks it’s that time of
the year again. No – not Hurricane season – well, Yes, it is
Hurricane season, but we are also coming up on that momentous,
one-time-a-year event, commonly known as the “Rotary Round up”
hosted (as usual) by that fantastic couple - Tracy and Laura Crook.
Please note that the event has been
moved up a week, hopefully to avoid those first of the seaon's winter
weather patterns that always seems to hit the last weekend in October and
hinders some of us (the more faint hearted) from attending.
MOST important, Laura needs to have
some of you folks give presentations for the enjoyment, enlightenment and
overall entertainment of the rest of us. Challenges? Problems”
(solutions!!! We like solutions!), different approach or just a progress report
– and it doesn’t even HAVE to be rotary related. Come
prepared to enjoy the company of others with common interest – or heck,
just to eat the food and enjoy the campfire stories. Lies, wild tales, stories,
fabrications, prevarications are all permitted, but the latter are discouraged
until at least 3 beers have been consumed by all listening {:>)
Here is the official notification
– get your RVSP into Laura while you are thinking about it.
The annual Rotary Roundup, hosted by Tracy and Laura
Crook, will be held on October 17/18/19, 2008 at Shady Bend Airpark
(9FL5) in Bell, FL. Here is the link for all the details:
http://www.rotaryaviation.com/invitation.html
And.. I am looking for people to present 55 minute
forums on Saturday afternoon. Please email Laura at laura@rotaryaviation.com
if you are interested in doing a forum and with RSVPs for the event.
Nuff, said.
Hope to see you there – heck!
Hope to get there this year myself.
