I spoke with the good folks at Gaston's today, and made our reservation :)

Michele, Joshua, Jordan and I will fly in on Thursday the tenth :yesnod:

We've got cabin 4 :D

It's almost February; it's time to start getting pumped!
 
I don't think I'm going to make it this year... who should I send the LiveATC.net setup to? Somebody who has a cabin near the flightline, and a laptop with a line-in connection and a handheld or base radio to feed it.
 
The Aztruck and I will be there!

WHAT?!? Troy, unless you have something important to do, you need to come!!
 
I'll be there. This will be year 5 for me.
 
Tom and I have other plans for that weekend. We'll be reading all about it here as it's happening. We hope y'all have a great time. :)
 
For the 3rd year in a row, I'll be a no show. Will be recovering financially from a wedding at that point.

Next year, my to-be wife and I WILL be there.
 
Probably won't be there. Have a trip to PA and a trip to NM planned for May, and the plane becomes magically unairworthy on June 1. Unless I get a 2 day annual done, it's probably not going to happen. Plus, the dog really really really did not like the heat, and I'm not punishing him again with it.
 
I'm there, and Dr. Dave will be there if I have to hog-tie him and drag him along.

Also, I have a new attendee to be named later, with an interesting airplane to bring.

You will make it. Your title seems to indicate you are still the Gastons CRO.

i've been meaning to get you to change that. now i suppose that will be impossible. thats OK, i'll just name Dave and Spike my minions again and do nothing while they try to herd pilots into making a decision.

If it has anything to do with arranging meals at their establishment I vigorously violently decline.
 
How early do we have to make reservations to get a cabin?
 
Just Booked. I don't know if I can get coverage but at least I've got a room.
 
Just booked room 10. Brent doesn't know yet, but I'm there
 
I'm planning to fly the Mooney out, but haven't booked a room yet since it isn't confirmed yet. Looking forward to it though. Should be able to make it with 1 stop. :)

Best,
Jason
 
I have my room booked, arriving Friday.
 
I think I may have mentioned it in another thread, but Leslie and I (and Greg and Sharon) are booked in cottage 61! Looking forward to it!
 
I'm gonna do everything I can to get there this year. It may only be for one day, though. I hope to bring the 206 up, and introduce the Drs. Meador for everyone to meet.

I need to convince my husband that we need to come down. It would be great to see/meet everyone. (And he could play golf!)

I noticed the grammatical error, and thought I would lend a hand :lol:
 
Watched a couple video's of landing at Gaston's. Looks amazing beautiful and fun. Put on list of things to do after getting PPL, Check.
 
The MPA state conference is that weekend, going to it instead. You all have fun.
 
I would love to fly back to Gastons one last time, my wife was just saying this morning I should try to go. If I had someone from out this way that wanted to share expenses, it would sure help as that is a long trip from here. I can't promise anything but I am going to try real hard to make it.

If someone from the Northwest wants to go along with me, let me know, and we can make some arrangements.
 
Gramps Mark likes to fly that trip. If you fly your plane, he'd think it was cheating to go that fast.

I note that the fly-in website hasn't been updated with the 2010 dates or signup roster yet. Jesse, is that your task, or have you delegate that? :)

Bob, your ONLY excuse is if you are in ground school at Colgan. Otherwise you WILL be there for at least a day and you WILL look me up. :D

Saturday afternoon, PLEASE. I think you were there last time and I missed you.
 
I've arranged my schedule so that I'm most likely in this year. I'll be starting the trip from Wichita where I will have my car so I'll either drive or possibly hitch a ride with whoever is willing to pick me up there. I'm still not sure when I will be done in Wichita. I'll probably be able to leave there either Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.

What should I do about a room? Is it better to reserve in advance or are there usually rooms available?

(This is where I coyly offer to make room for you...)

I'd be surprised if there are any rooms available for rent from the resort, but if you make your plans and requirements known on the board, there's often someone whose plans have changed (and Gaston's non-refund policy kicks in); also, you'll find people offering space.

Bottom line: you show up, you'll find a place to sleep.

OK. If I come in my own car I'll remember to bring a sleeping bag. :)
