----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Dennis, My wife and I flew down to Meigs for the open house too. We couldn't bring the Ercoupe as it is still getting a new instrument panel installed so we flew there in our '47 Bonanza. We couldn't park with the rest of the show planes as the city limits the show space, so we had to pay the normal landing fees ($35). I imagine this is just another way to try to chase people away in order to try to get rid of Meigs. I talked with Jerry for about 30 minutes and then looked at the rest of the planes. I saw yours, but no one was around and I couldn't find an owner's name on it. Now I know it was yours. You are right about landing at Meigs as it is very strange doing the pattern out over the water and then coming in to land on a strip of land like an aircraft carrier. Not scary, just strange! I also commented to my wife that it looked just like Flight Simulator 2000 as we were going in except we missed all the buildings I usually hit! It was a beautiful day and I agree with you about the flight down the lake shore as it was great. (Somehow I missed the topless sunbathers though!) If you ever get up our way (Guntly Memorial, 62C, just south and west of Mitchell's airspace) please stop in as I would enjoy meeting you and finding out more about your plane.
