Utah Taylorcraft Rendezvous May 2016

[Robert Lees]

Some keen-eyed readers may recall that I abandoned a Taylorcraft in Oregon last September. The engine issues have been fixed, and I’m planning to fly from Oregon back to Illinois via southern Utah (and other SW places).

I’d like to propose a meet-up in St George, Utah (KSGU), where a vehicle will be hired for me to show fellow Taylorcrafters the beauty of SW Utah for a day or two. I have been visiting the area (by road and foot) for the last 30 years or so, and I’d love to share some of the non-touristy places with like-minded friends

Then fly over the areas we have visited by road.

I will also be visiting Canyonlands airport (KCNY) near Moab for much of the same.

I’d suggest this be sole-occupancy flights, due to the density altitudes.

I don’t have confirmed dates yet, other than I will be in Oregon on 4th May, and I anticipate a day or so fettling (reinstalling the radio etc) so maybe St George on or about the 7th or 8th May. Prior to arriving at St George, I will hopefully go via Mesquite NV to meet Peterroy (of this parish).

Then on to KCNY via some of the most stunning scenery in the USA.

It would be nice to meet up with some of the California, Arizona and other local folk if they wish to make the rather small trip to Utah.

Hey Rob,
My offer still stands of picking you up in PDX and taking you out to Prineville. I can take the week off and spend as much time as you need to get the T-cart back in the air.

My offer still stands...but it sounds like you're going to duck South of us...

I was thinking of routing via Nevada, rather than back via Ogden and the Salt Lake Area; been there, seen that. Why don't you join us? it's a paltry few miles down to St George and Moab.

I expected nothing less!

I'm afraid so (as planned) but you never know!

Rob, I'll need to confirm everything once I get home in April from our extended trip, but Marta agrees that I should also not miss this one. I think there will be two of us from the Midwest heading that way. I know another Taylorcrafter at the home base that might be interested also. More later.
