  • Michigan Taylorcraft Air Tour

    Who wants to get together & tour Michigan by Taylorcraft? I'm thinking the first weekend(2nd,3rd & 4th) of June(weather permitting). This would be an informal unofficial group just getting together to fly. Maybe land on Beaver,Drummond & Mackinac Islands & the fly across the UP to Ironwood. Let me know who is interested & if that weekend works. Thanks! Eric

    I can be there for the flight across the U.P. I could probably meet you at Beaver Island or something like that.

      I Don't have gun so I can clear cutoms, and I belive they let me into USA.
      Maybe I meet you on Drummond Island, Love that country, Michigan, Near northern Ontario, nearer to me anyway. Are you going to Schoolcraft?
      Grant, is the Taylorcraft ready yet? Maybe you can come along to, it would a be nice break in trip.
      I had my eyes on AK but the money went into the house, so Maintuland Iland Drumond Island, North Bay, Perry Sound would be a nice trip.

          Eric,

          There is a blues festival on the airport of JXN that weekend. I plan on making it to one of the days for some good tunes. Hopefully I can hook up with ya's somewhere enroute! Will advise as the times get closer! It sounds like a great time and I don't want to miss out!

            Any one going Oshkosh from Toronto area and take the northern route usaly clear customs on Drumomd Island and Schoolcraft is a regular fuel stop.
            Let see, I would love to make what one. When I got word last night my son is possibly visiting us from Calagary what week. Time will tell.
