Name an Aviation Theme Suite -- Win a Prize!
How about a suite for the homebuilt community? "DIY -- Homebuilts" Could include fixed and rotary wing and gliders. Lots of folks out there with these machines. I wrote an article about one guy that put a 350HP V-8 in his E-Z. Or, "Rutan Suite" ....and decorate with photos of the extraordinary ships that have been birthed at Scaled Composites. Who can you name that has advanced aviation more than Rutan in the last 20 years? Go Fly! Casey |

However, since we created the "Cub Suite" by chopping one of our 2-story townhouse suites in half (by walling off the stairs), we suddenly find ourselves with an "extra" suite to name! Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free night in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules: You've got to throw a crumb to the Big Ten College town where you do business: I'm seeing a Suite with much diversity.... http://www.cgsaviation.com/ CGS Hawk http://www.raytheonaircraft.com/hawk...r_family.shtml Raytheon Hawker http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/early_years/ey15a.htm Hawker Hurricane http://www.airforce-technology.com/p...l/global1.html Globe Hawk http://www.learntofly.com/howto/skyhawk.chtml Cessn Skyhawk - "Learn to fly" http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/hawk.html "Acknowledged as one of the world’s premier aerobatic teams, The Red Arrows are the public face of the Royal Air Force" What do they fly?

Our Heroes Suite
small corners of the rooms dedicated to different individuals that played a major roles in the development and promotion of both military and general aviation, people that may be hard to dedicate a whole suite to individually or who may not be commonly known to the public but who's names are familiar and their stories very interesting... Kelly Johnson, Bill Lear, Clyde Cessna, William Piper, Walter and Olive Beech, Donald Douglas, Howard Hughes, ect. Our Heroines Suite dedicated to the women in aviation, same theory as above... Jackie Cochrane, Emilia Earhardt, Bess Coleman, Amy Johnson, the WACs, 99's, WASPs, Patty Wagstaff, Pancho Barnes, those 4 cute KC135 drivers and their story as well as many more that I'm not familiar with but are just as deserving. Around the World Suite dedicated to each record setting flight around the world US Army Air Service 1924, Fossett, Hughes, Rutan/Yeager, Breitling Balloon, Wiley Post, Richarda Morrow-Tait 1948 (first woman), Ross Perot/Jay Coburn (1st helicopter), Dick Smith (solo helicopter), Don Rodewald (first wheelchaired pilot), Fred Lasby (solo at 83 years old) http://www.earthrounders.com/chrono.html Race the Sun Suite dedicated to the fastest aircraft of several eras, types, and designs Jim |

I kicked that one around also. Lots of characters, lots of airplanes, but
would it "click" with a non pilot? Would a non pilot know what "The Golden Age" (of Aviation) was? Jim "Marco Leon" mmleon(at)yahoo.com wrote in message ... Why not call it the "Golden Age Suite" or just "Golden Suite." Make the theme around the golden era of aviation that would include not only the DC-3 but the air racers, Gee Bee, For Tri-Motor, well, you get it. Marco Leon "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:Xvdvf.679770$x96.254947@attbi_s72... The obvious one is the DC-3 suite, but beyond that... We would LOVE a DC-3 suite -- but what to call it? "DC-3" just sounds dumb, to non-pilots. "Dakota Suite" might work. Isn't that what the Brits called the Gooney Bird? Shuttle suite Well, we've already stretched the aviation theme to fit the "Apollo Suite" -- simply cuz I really like that theme -- but the "Shuttle Suite" just sounds too much like a bus. I think we're done with the space program, for now. (If we ever add that third building, THEN we'll be looking at the shuttle, methinks. USS Enterprise suite While I personally love Star Trek, that would make almost no sense in our current hotel. It's gotta be aviation. Top Gun suite Now THAT would be an easy, and popular, suite. We really don't have any suites that honor the modern era (the closest we get is the Blackbird Suite, and that plane was from the 1960s), so it fills that niche, too. Too bad it sounds so militaristic and masculine. Gotta think of something that appeals to the non-flying chicks, who make the lodging decisions 75% of the time... Maybe the "Maverick Suite"? Please don't do a UAV suite. THAT goes without saying. Unmanned vehicles are about as interesting as pocket calculators, IMHO. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
