a jetcareers fly in someday?

Mavmb · February 26th, 2003, 22:16

I was just wondering how everyone would feel about having a jetcareers fly in or get together sometime. Maybe even like an annual event each year or something? I think it could be a good fundraiser for the website too. Anybody think this would be fun? I think it would be fun just as long as we decided before hand not to discuss politics!

So would anyone else be interested in something like this? Keg at Doug's house?

FLYMcDoofer · February 26th, 2003, 22:18

Keg at Doug's sounds good. I've never been to Arizona anyways!

iceman21 · February 26th, 2003, 22:21

I think that would be pretty cool. I could do without the keg since I don't drink, but I would love to meet the rest of you guys on here.

blee256 · February 26th, 2003, 22:37

I'm game

jtrain609 · February 26th, 2003, 22:47

All about it

A320_DUDE · February 26th, 2003, 22:48

Name the time and place and I'll be there!

AirborneMedic_ANGa10 · February 26th, 2003, 23:07

Me too. I say Doug's place 2100 tomorrow night! Or maybe not...

Snow · February 26th, 2003, 23:34

Sounds like a good idea to me, although everyone will need to wear name badges with their handle as well as their real name on it!

Or else you might get a lot of conversations like this.

"Hi I'm Mark" *blank stare* "Um, Underlord" "AHH, hey how ya doin!? I'm John, uh I mean Pyro"

Doug Taylor · February 26th, 2003, 23:58

Keg? ha!

Last time I had a kegger at the "Jetcareers World HQ", I broke a few travertine tiles in my kitchen, some couple got 'busy' in my office and some people decided to play drinking games with some of my more 'prized' al-kee-hawl.

A fly-in sounds cool though!

flyitup · February 27th, 2003, 00:52

A fly-in sounds like a great idea…

For the sake of the folks on the far eastern and western states, why not meet somewhere in the middle?

Hmmm… How about Tulsa?

flyguy · February 27th, 2003, 03:16

I'll be there if it dosn't conflict with school. I like the Idea of somewhere in the middle of the country. Of course I'm biassed, but it does seem most fair. Maybe we could narrow it down to a few places that would be good and put up a poll.

av8sean · February 27th, 2003, 05:41

Scottsdale sounds fine to me.. I'm sure I could load a couple fellow JC'ers from Socal and fly on over.. And by the evident lack of female participants on JC, I doubt people getting busy will be much worry

Might be a good thing to have a meeting at a fly-in like Oshkosh or Sunandfun, or the AOPA events. they are allready up and running, and will give chunk and dave something else to do after they kick my ass.

Speaking of which..... anybody going to:

A) Sun-N-Fun?

B) Oskosh?

Sun-N-Fun is less than 30 minutes from my house, so I'm definitely there! AND get this.... I work for a law firm that does aviation law. Two weeks ago, my boss (also a pilot - has all of his instructor ratings) came in and said "we need to start making our plans for Oshkosh. We'll take a client. It'll be fun. Start finding us a place to stay and I'll get us a plane..."

I about crapped! So, looks like I'll be at Oshkosh too. SOOOOO....

IF anybody is going to go to either - I say LET'S DO THIS THING and meet somewhere!!

Naw - dispite their political misgivings - chunk and dave are decent individuals

. Besides Eag - you know I gotcha back!

Over and out!

I couldnt miss Oskosh!! I went last year and now Im hooked.

sbe · February 27th, 2003, 11:54

I'll be at Oshkosh for a few days. Haven't decided exactly which days yet...but I'll be there for some of it.

Sarah

ready2fly · February 27th, 2003, 12:22

Okay, so this is good - there's two JC'ers that are going. (Now watch my boss back out and us not go) - so, let's start planning something.

Zombie - you've been there - what might be a central location for folks to meet?

jtrain609 · February 27th, 2003, 12:40

Hopefully I'll be returning to Oshkosh for my first time since 1998. We've tried to fly over for the last 2-3 years but plans kept falling through. Hopefully we can get over this time.

Cheers

Next to the airplanes?

Seriously, though I might be wandering up to Oskosh this year (we wanted to go last year but it didn't work out). We might be flying ourselves in and campin under the wing!

sbe · February 27th, 2003, 13:05

yeah - I'm totally open on dates. So if anyone knows when they're going up - my deal is, I'm only going for probably 2 or 3 days, and I can't decide if I want to take the extra vacation and go during the week when the crowds aren't quite so crazy, or brave the extra people, go over the weekend and save the vacation time...

At this point I'll probably be flying into MDW renting a car and driving up.

Virusss · February 27th, 2003, 13:53

I remeber talking about this about a year and half back. We should really start fundraisers get other companies like...
Some one please give me some ideas?
If this is really going to happen count me in.
I would help by donating a few dollars to this event. We should start a different forum for this called "Jetcareers Fly-In"
And making it once every year would be a hassle we should make it biannual.

E_Dawg · February 27th, 2003, 15:53

Anyone going to N.C. on Dec 17???

I_Money · February 27th, 2003, 15:55

^^ I AM! But I presume you already knew that!
