Fly-In Breakfast in Iowa City THIS Sunday

Our annual Fly-In breakfast is THIS Sunday, 8/29, from 7 AM till at least 1
PM (Sometimes longer, depending on demand), here in Iowa City. (KIOW --
See airport info at: www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/airport-get?s=IOW )

This is one of the biggest fly-in breakfasts in the Midwest. The FAA
usually sets up a temporary control tower to handle arrivals and departures,
and the weather is predicted to be PERFECT.

This year we've once again got the MATS Constellation dominating (and I mean
DOMINATING -- if you think it looks big at OSH, you should see it parked on
a GA ramp!) our ramp. The crew (who are, of course, staying in our Connie
Suite -- which they made possible with their artwork and memorabilia) will
be giving rides in that big, beautiful machine, for an appropriate donation,
of course.

Having ridden in this very Connie two years ago, I can attest to the sound,
power and fury of those four huge radial engines -- it's truly an experience
not to be missed. With only a few left flying in the world, you need to
check this thing out before they're all in museums!

There will be many R/C airplanes flying on the south end of the field,
dozens of ground displays, and aircraft from all over the Midwest on static
display. It is sponsored by "SERTOMA" (SERvice TO MAnkind"), so you know
your money will be well-spent.

We'll have a booth there this year, giving balloons away to the kids and
schmoozing their parents -- so stop by and say "hi" if you can!
