It would be really great to get an idea of how many folks are showing up this year. Between this year just being different plus last night's storms, we don't know if 3 or 30 people are coming. If you plan on coming to the HOPS party at Jay's plane on row 504 just inside the fence from the...

See, this is what happens when I have too many pre-HOPS beers. I get my days all messed up. Sorry. I'll try not to let that happen again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In light of the incoming severe weather we are going to cancel the HOPS party for tonight and reschedule it for Thursday night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not from this area, but apparently it really doesn't matter much. They can get severe weather events any time during the summer. I'm happy to be corrected. It does seem like it would be better to do this event when temperatures aren't tickling triple figures. It's blazing hot this week...

Yikes. We share the air with these folks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Folks with airplanes here... what is your math or decision process on whether to get out of here before the potential derecho tonight? I remember there being damage in 2019 at Appleton that resulted in some bent metal. Do you just cross your fingers and hope everything will be cool, or head out...

Anyone camping near the west side of Scholler? Ultralight above us started sputtering, engine quit, then all I saw was him going down behind a bunch of campers. Looked like he made the emergency runway? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What was up with the Cessna that was flying southbound and just west of the tower around 5 outer so today? North tower was trying to get ahold of him and it was just crickets. Was weird seeing a solo plane just... doodling along directly over the show grounds. Also, that near midair between...

Drop a location and the time you want me to be there, and I'll be there with potentially at least one in tow. Is there any public parking up there? I'm in Scholler and can bring a wagon to make the trek to Jay's site easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This link should be within a few meters of Camp Bacon. https://w3w.co/rungs.ongoing.panels

Will do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If everything works out well, we'll be pulling into Scholler just around noon or 1300. I fully expect it to be pouring when we do, because that's how things go.

I would contribute to bringing tables and/or ice, but I'll be in Scholler (and by the sounds of how it's filling up, I'll be WAY down in Scholler) and I'm not sure how to lug stuff down there up to near where you all will be. I'd be open to suggestions, though! Are wagons (like, pull behind...

Man. That could have been a LOT worse considering they hit a freaking fuel truck.

RV-6A

Using https://what3words.com/ for location would be a good plan, too.

Man. That WOULD be a good spot for HOPS. Thread here: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/hops-party-needs-a-sponsor.132014/#post-3115496

I'm not flying in, so I can't be the DPDP (otherwise known as the Dip Dip). Additionally, I'm in Scholler (arriving Thursday afternoon, so I assume all the actual good spots will be gone), and I presume that it is preferable to do this in the North 40 for the views. We can bring trash bags and...

Ooof. Man, it's a shame that guy ruined that prop by pulling on it like that. Tsk tsk.
