Plans are moving ahead for the Taylorcraft Fly In at Osceola Iowa (I75) this summer. We are setting the date of Sept 1-3 (Labor Day weekend). This date corresponds to the Antique Aircraft Association fly in in Blakesburg Iowa. This will conviently work out for those you who would like to attend both (AAA says that they will reserve parking for us).
We want to make this an event that you will really enjoy! We will do our best to extend to you a "good old Iowa" welcome. Listed below are some activities that we have discussed. Please respond and tell us what you would like to have at this event. Here is the list:
Owner assisted Taylorcraft annuals discounted for thise who fly in. (Our IA thinks that 3-4 could be done that weekend)
Bi annual flight review at a discount (2 instructors have volunteered)
Third class medicals (Local doctor/ pilot has offered this at his home/office)
Safety seminar (I am sure one of the Taylorcraft experts would volunteer)
Discounted fuel prices (still working with local airport commission--no promises yet)
Aviation movies shown in the evening ( either at the airport or at our local restored theatre)
Taylorcraft airshow (we have connections)
Awards to fly ins ( best restore, longest flight, etc)
Casino entertainment ( we have a floating casino)
Aviation museums (2 about 45 Taylorcraft minutes away)
Barbeque (Iowa has some pretty darn good cooks)
Discounted motel prices ( will work on this when we have some idea of the number of rooms needed)
Camping "under the wing" (we have plenty of room)
"Peel out" breakfast on Monday morning (community supported)
We need your help! Which of these activities sound good to you? Are there others that we have missed?
Please help--Let us know what you think1
