Yep.....that time again!
Dust off the flight helmet......gas up the Gyro..... Clean the bugs off the rotors!
You've got a date and you'd better not be late!
CAROLINA BARNSTORMERS SPRING 2020 EXTRAVAGANZA!!!
May 14ish to May 17ish.
KAFP Anson County Airport
Big Buffet on Saturday.......fun.....food......flying.......but mostly......friends !!
It depends, but, if we still are not in school or playing high school baseball, I might be able to make it for a ride on the short bus!
After taking in the data of the day, I have to agree with the assessment that calls for the need to shut down interstate travel for at least April. Based on the apex for each state being very different dates, it is likely that if there is a travel ban, it could go into June or even July.
I sure hope we can get together sometime late spring or early summer. I'm gettin real homesick n lonely for my crew.
We're still having a Wing Ding May 15-17. Early bird days start 13-14.
Social distancing of course. Flights will be allowed in close proximity but passengers will be required to wear a plastic bag over their head!! :)

I plan on making the trip and arrive Wednesday or Thursday.
I plan to arrive sometime Wednesday late afternoon with my Tangogyro. I will need a place to plug into some 110 30 amp or so with an extension cord for running a fan and perhaps a small heater in my cargo trailer.
My water pump impeller failed after only a year today since I installed it new. Yamaha experts suggest that it is a common problem even on the sleds due to the plastic impeller and not caused by the engine sitting on a shelf. So as a result, I will be coming without my gyro.
a water pump. Ben Cadenbach has one, I am picking it up tomorrow and hope to be back in the air tomorrow evening before loading up. If all goes well, I will be loaded and on the way sometime on Wednesday.
We can park you in the grass next to my other hangar ( no. 12 ). Plenty of room and we can run power from the hangar.
I thought it was going to be next weekend. Oh, well. I got my latest build in the air today, Sunday 5/17. I had planned to bring it up to Wadesborough for a dog n pony show, but...<sigh> Missed all you guys. A lot.
Barry for hosting another incredible event!
