    John,
    As always this will be a great Fly In. Kris & I will be there. Really looking forward to it, seeing old friends again and meeting new ones. The backcountry ranch breakfast is a great idea!

    Something new this year. Sounds great John. McCall is beautiful.

    Folks, you'll want to try hard to get there this year. The factory fly-in is always a good time and now that it has gone to a bi-annual event you might want to start thinking about it early. I know I will.

    I would like to go to the factory flyin, I will be flying in from England. I would like to do the factory tour first, is their anyone who would have a spare seat? I would also like to spend a few days with stick and rudder getting a conversion onto the kitfox as hopefully by then I will be close to flying my mk7!

    So what is everyone thinking about the flyin schedule? I have been thinking about flying to Garden Valley on the 12th and camping there. Then on to McCall on the 13th. Anyone want to join us, or have any other ideas/plans?

    Steve- Last I heard, Phil and I will be flying up in one of his Kitfoxs. Not yet sure of the launch date but will head to Homedale first I suspect.
    Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

    it will be 1882 km, direct from 03nc to myl, I am planning on 3 days of flying with 1 lay day if needed. something I always wanted to do is fly across our country low and slow and the kitfox is the perfect plane for it.
    the only thing that can throw a monkey wrench in my plans is weather as I promised my wife not to go if we had a hurricane forecast at that time. hope to see every one there. praying to the weather gods daily

    I'm hoping to make the trip from the Chicago area. Jimmy, might be nice to meet up at one of the overnight stops. How about posting your planned route when you get it worked out?

    I was planning on going his year. But like Oshkosh, the new house is taking up too many resources. Ah well, it's worth it.
