----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Good going, Dotty. I'm glad to hear your news. Up here in Wisconsin we're going to warm back up after the flights with hot chocolate and coffee. Let's hope we get good weather.

OK, Syd, out here in Apple Valley (CA) we took you up on your idea and our EAA chapter AND the local 99's are going to show up at noon on the 17th. We've invited our local newspaper staff (the editor already agreed to come) and the town council and maybe it will be an "event".Thanks for the idea....I know Wilbur and Orville would be proud.

What are the rest of us going to do? If you have access to an airplane, you could also fly that day. You could write a letter to invite a city official (mayor, council member, etc.) to fly with you. Yes, I know that December 17 is a Wednesday. Do it at noon! I've talked to Bob Warner, Executive Vice President at EAA, and he said he would try to get the word out to all EAA members to a flight on First Flight Day. I told him I would tell all the Ercoupers on our email list. Let's talk to all of our flying friends, and make this a major event!
