Bob,
I live in Texas, just a tip for you and any of the others who may not have fully explored my web page, on the page which lists personal info on pilots and their AC you will note that it gives the city/town and state under the pilots name, it also has the airport identifier in green and underlined. This is a link to Paulo Santos's page which gives all the published info on the pilots home base. This is a fantastic link and should be fully explored, also go to the link on my main web page to his Fuel Stop Planner. Paulo has done incredible work and has a data base you won't believe. At any rate play with it, it's there for you guys to be able to contact each other.
Now as for putting info on your fly-ins on my page, hey any free advertising can never hurt, you never can tell you give some Couper an excuse to take a X-country .
I have always made it a policy to add a link to anyones page that requests it, I appreciate a reciprocal link but it is not required so if you would like a link, no problem.
You are right in that a lot of Coupers are not on the net but the number is growing and there have been a few who have chosen to buy a coupe on the basis of the information they have gotten off the net.
Hope to hear from you again,




Dave
