Welcome Nick.

Thanks 58Skylane. She really is not a backcountry bird. I usually don't take her anywhere I can't get to with my truck and trailer. Rotorways have a bad habit of breaking down at the most inopportune times.

Skystrider, Is this fly-in open to pilots not on the forum? I know a couple of chopper and UL guys in the area that are always looking for places to fly and camp.

Hi Nick, I am organizing this primarily for the Backcountry Pilots but I am sure there will be room for a couple more!

Rod

Is that "mmmm beer" like we might need a second keg?

I am trying to keep count for airport space Mike. Got an idea of how many to expect? Thanks! Look forward to meeting you.

At least a stinson or mooney (depending which plane is working!) full I will PM you with details as i get organized, could be more. Look foward to this definitely am excited to have our own eastern fly in. Show those west coast snobs what's up

Mike

Sounds great, count me in. I’m looking for an excuse to take The Blue Dog somewhere.
Almost too close to 2n2 to count as cross country.

Welcome Steve! See you just joined BCP. Been a lurker for awhile? And what kind of plane is The Blue Dog?

I'll plan on being there.

So far we have about 15 to 20 people coming. I have lined up the buffet breakfast for Sunday morning and the keg of beer is reserved for Saturday night!

There is a large fire ring and I will make sure there is a stack of wood for Friday and Saturday night. Three months to go!

Make sure to bring your BackcountryPilot.org t-shirts!

Hey, the Poconos, sounds great, never been there. Weather cooperating I think I shall show up in my C180. Way to far for the J-3.

Welcome Pat! I hope the weather cooperates!

I'm a newbie to this group. I found your website and saw Skystrider's fly-in announcement.

It turns out the Sciota, PA fly-in is a half-hour from my airport.

I have a stock Cessna 150G, not exactly a classic bush plane; but I'm adventurous and have a whole lot of fun finding and landing on grass!

Business took me to Idaho for several months about 15 years ago and I can see why you folks out there jealously guard it from the crazies who would turn everything into a nature museum. I envy you.

However this part of the country has its charm too. The rolling hills and Appalachian Mountains aren't as high but they're just as magnificent from the air.

I fly with a group of PA pilots who are fond of finding new and interesting destinations, preferably with food nearby. So we already have a lot in common.

I'll be around. Have fun and fly safe!

Welcome to the forum pa150! I look forward to meeting you and the other guys at the fly-in!

Rod,
Please count me in and I'm bringing a buddy. Aircam, twing engine highwing taildragger. Nick, I'm going to leave my exec back and am taking the maule and the gear. I look forward to seeing every body.
