Sunday, July 25th, is our day to give back to the pilot community, in thanks
for another great year! Fly into Iowa City (KIOW) en route to OSH '04, and enjoy: - Free food! - Free (real) beer! - Free pop! - Live music at poolside! Stay 20 minutes or stay the night -- we'll be serving continuously throughout the day and evening. We've got three big runways, good instrument approaches, and plenty of free overnight parking. Park on the ramp (or our FBO will park you inside for a nominal fee), and we'll shuttle you over to the inn. We're located just on the other side of RWY 25 from the ramp -- you can see your plane from your balcony! Last year we had folks fly in from as far away as California and New Zealand for this little shindig, and we had a great time. Hope to see some of you there this year! -- Jay & Mary Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

stay! :-) I trust no one is quite that stupid. At least not without a "designated pilot" on board! ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Just keep in mind that there is a very good chance your group would be held liable is some numbskull did this and then crashed. Sounds like a fun place to stop though. I hope you get a good crowd of transients. Matt |

It's a dead horse! So your saying that good advice isn't worth repeating. Personally in this day and age, if I was Jay and about to give out free alcohol at a party, I would be keeping a very close eye on everyone who was drinking. I don't think another warning about alcohol is a dead horse. |

I don't think another warning about alcohol is a dead horse. It is when it is brought up throughout the year, not just around OSH time. Jay has proven he is a responsible individual, as have his patrons (it's a friends don't let friends thing). There are spouses and kids around so it is not a college frat party event (most of us are too old even attempt to repeat performances from our younger days). I guess you could say that this is a "mature" audience in almost every definition of the word. (Interesting email address you signed in on.) |

Yah gotta be kidding. No one sober would fly in with that many planes in the pattern. If it works out I may fly over even if I don't go to Oshkosh although it is a bit out of the way. :-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com ;-) Well, more than one AIRLINE crew has done something similar.

Personally in this day and age, if I was Jay and about to give out free alcohol at a party, I would be keeping a very close eye on everyone who was drinking. I don't think another warning about alcohol is a dead horse. Yes, it is. It was brought up last year and took forever for the thread to die. Usually I enjoy seeing an active thread, but this one was stupid and I was glad to see it gone. This isn't high school graduation. The people going to Jay's have most likely been in this newsgroup awhile and I'm sure know enough about aviation to avoid drinking and flying. Even if someone got hammered at his party, flew off into the wild blue yonder, and crashed into a tower 10 mins later I doubt he would be held liable, even in today's world. I guarantee that when we first saw this thread, we were all thinking "I hope some dumbass doesn't drink beer and then fly". Then of course most of us dismissed the thought knowing that: 1)The people in this group are probably not that dumb. 2)The people in this group and at Jay's party would likely beat the sh&t out of anyone trying to do it. Of course, YOU had to be "that guy" to bring it up. Yes, it is extremely annoying. We are not stupid people. Keep these warning posts for the reality tv newsgroups or something. |
