Fellow Ercoupers, Just a heads up to let you know that the South Midwest Ercoupe Fly-In is going to be at a different time in a different place in 2009. It will be a joint Arkansas/Missouri event in the fall. Andy Anderson, our Arkansas Wing Leader, is taking this on with me. This is going to be a great one - stay tuned!
Since we are moving this one to the fall, I am planning on a much lower key "Bustin' Out Of Winter" gathering in Mountain View, Arkansas, this spring. I'll be setting a date soon. If you want to just tour the Square and maybe listen to or even participate in some pickin' and grinnin', this will be the place to be. I'll be there to make sure everyone has transportation. There will be nothing formal planned - but there is always something to do in Mountain View! Additionally, I'll be setting up some ad hoc fly-outs in the Missouri area. There are some terrific FBOs in Missouri that provide free lunches - all you have to do is burn $100 in gas to get there! If you're not in Missouri, send me your email and I'll keep you posted on activities in the area. If you ARE in Missouri and the EOC does not have your email address, please send it to me, too. The stock market is up, gas prices are down. Let's start thinking about some fun flying in 2009! Larry Snyder, Missouri Wing Leader Washington, MO
