DIAMOND FLYIN

Post by Thegoz007 »

I would like to propose a weekend of FLYIN for all Diamond owners this year. Lets see about coming to central Texas (KILE) Let me know who all would be interested.
I believe August or September would be a good time to do this.

I could do that. Anywhere in central Texas is easy to get to from KADS.

Isn't there somewhere wamer where we could meet in the middle of summer? Was Death Valley already booked up? Perhaps Premier TX could offer a bulk discount on A/C installations that week. :D

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it down there then, but I'm highly supportive of the fly-in idea in general.

Maybe. Depends on the date for one thing, as I've got an Alaska trip scheduled in August. Not flying myself there, chicken that I am.

I would be interested also, but not in the heat of the Summer (i.e. not May-September). How about the Hangar Hotel in Fredericksburg, TX, there is a Cafe onsite and lots of things to do in the area (for example, National Pacific War Museum, Wine Tours, etc.).

I would also be interested, and TX is certainly in the middle of the country making it more accessible to everyone. However, as I worked in Houston for 3yrs, the fall seems like a better time of year.

Just up the road from me, one of my favorite $100 hamburger flights. All of the above activities, plus Enchanted Rock for hikers (think of a smaller Ayers rock), and San Antonio (Alamo, Riverwalk) is a short hop away. Fall is definitely a more pleasant time of year than summer in this area.
