I noticed that a number of FTers are also Private Pilots. One of the most fun things General Aviation pilots do is attend Fly-Ins -- take our planes to some other airport, hang out, tell tall-tales & enjoy $100 hamburgers.

Similar to what we do at FT gatherings.

I thought it would be fun to have a FT Fly-In. Those of us who own or rent planes can fly ourselves and interested FTers on the way, other FTers can fly commercially. We could pick a smaller airport that will be friendly enough for us to enjoy ourselves on the tarmac, but large enough to have commuter service on most of the major carriers. I, for one, would be happy to give rides to anyone interested and love giving tours of the plane itself.

Dates & location are highly variable. I'd propose something over the summer and I'd like to see who is interested in flying themselves there, so we can pick an appropriate location.

So, if you are conceptually interested in attending, let us know -- if you have access to a plane and want to fly-in, mention where you live & how far you are willing to fly.

I live near Dallas and could fly 700-1000 miles and anyone wishing to fly Air Bollar needs to know that the in-flight service sucks, but the view is great.
