I'm sure you'd be gladly taken up on that. So far, our "strategy" (whether planned or it's just happened that way) has been to build up a good network of local FTers first, and Sonora, GregL, AviationKiwi, Rosso, Scoow, & others are uber-huge-ly to thank for that. And, I think we've done well at gathering the troops whenever an FTer is in town and wants to meet up with other FTers....we'll gladly all get together & join them.

So far, most of us have spent no small number of weekends this past year with all of our own individual flying...especially since several have caught the EXP and or Plat bug and have been mileage-running & segment running. How much do you ask? If it's any indication, the bartenders at the STL A/C know all of us by name, and can even tell us about where we've gone on our trips, they've gotten to know us that well. .

With a solid network of locals in place, "Do" planning is on the horizon. We've got it in our sights, and I'm sure a "Loo Do" will be coming to a C-Buzz forum near you in the future...possibly in conjunction w/ a Cardinals game, possibly in conjunction with The Great Forest Park Balloon Race, possibly just to give everyone an excuse to try Ted Drewes.
