Weekend Recap

[RyanB]

It was a great weekend. I flew out to Memphis for the grand PA-32 fly-in and bumped into my big bro @Rgbeard. It’s not every day he’s on this half of the continent!



After a massive burrito from one of the food trucks, the best part of all, we got to fly together in the T-Tail Turbo Lance. I wish we had snapped a pic, but we were too busy having fun and I was too busy trying to fly the airplane. It was embarrassing how behind the airplane I felt - what a beast! It is definitely not a PA-28 . . . Good times were had.

Of course I couldn’t visit Memphis and not see a few of the sights



Came back to the airport and had some tasty Memphis BBQ in the hangar for dinner, with and a pretty good turnout to boot!

Long-time goal. Check!

I'll have to admit, I never thought of the PA-32 as a type that would have an owner group like that. Pretty cool.

Yay!

He used to have an actual beard. At least he did when we met up in the People's Republic of Davis.

It started as a Facebook group. I went to the first fly-in, in Memphis in 2021. Great bunch of folks and fun to hang with!

No kidding, I was at that one also, I don’t remember meeting you.

I was with my neighbor in Lance 91V. I chatted with a few guys but didn’t catch too many names. Mostly just hung out and enjoyed the company.

It was impressive how big and well-organized it was, especially with how short the spin-up was.

My friend has since sold the Lance, but I’d I’d wind up with a -32 I’ll be an active member.
