I understand Paulaau has been taking hack pilot lessons from her Dad (TXArt), and that she progressed to a solo ride around the neighborhood over Memorial Day 2014 weekend.

Oops, I sent out an email to various members in the Ok-Ark-La-Tex area with a typo in one line re: the dates for the Uncertain?Rendezvous 2014 - the correct dates are Friday-Sunday September 26-28, 2014.

Well, another upcoming oops:  One morning before leaving for work I hastily put together a notice re: the Uncertain?Rendezvous for the upcoming issue of the The Sidecarist with the combined schedule and the lodging info; however, Mrs. SwampFox just pointed out that the "title" line says "2012."

Oh well, the dates as set forth on the "date" line are correct:  September 26-28, 2014

Darn good chili and darn good stories --- planning on arriving Thursday evening, anyone else?

Avanell & I will be there by Thursday. Hope to see a good turnout.

Jena & I plan to arrive by 11:00 am Friday Sept. 26th. The preliminary head-count is hovering around 45 folks.

The Jefferson Fly-In says we will have "reserved" parking at the Cypress River Airport. And they have revised the Flyer for 2014 - I understand the airplane depicted in the Flyer is scheduled to be there "in person."  BBQ lunches will be available at the airport, and downtown Jefferson is 3-1/2 miles further with several cafe's and lot's of antique/junk/craft shops to visit, along with several museums, including:

Vintage cars at 112 W. Lafayette;

Measurement & time at 301 N. Polk;

Trains at 223 W. Austin; and

Gone with the Wind at 408 Taylor.

The destination for Friday's Ladies Lunch Ride should be Big Pines Lodge ~5 miles.

Subject to change, of course. Kiss

Art, Rosa and Omar planning on arriving Thursday afternoon late. Looking forward to seeing all...

...This aircraft ... is believed to be the most historically documented combat aircraft of WWII flying in the world today....** Now HQ'd at the MidAmerica Flight Museum in Mount Pleasant, Texas, this C-47 has flown into the past several Jefferson Fly-In's. Above is my cell-phone pic from a couple of years ago when it was the only plane to fly-in due to weather conditions.
** From: http://www.midamericaflightmuseum.org/

A history of this aircraft from September 2010 - note the comments re: formation flying at 7½ minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQQB0RmtJPY

My favorite photo from a prior Jefferson Fly-In - on a day with cooperative weather:

FOUND - Thanks Lee. Does anyone have a reserved cabin they are willing to share in Uncertain?

Plan to arrive Friday mid-day on new three wheels, leave Sunday. Am wiring up driving lights and farkles this weekend.

Update - Due to the price of beef, Jay & Ann have had to increase the price of Friday's Chili from $5 to $7 to cover expenses.
