Do you have any particular place in mind? I don't know that area at all. It doesn't sound like people have a big preference for where to meet, so as far as I'm concerned, go ahead and name something.

minnflyer -- I think you should come for as long as your brood can stand it. If not, maybe the next M&G could be on a weekend. Then, maybe it's also more likely that some of the GFK people can get away for a road trip?!

How about Majors?
Here's a description
Here's the directions

minnflyer · January 12th, 2007, 16:55

Majors at 7 on Monday? I'll see what I can do ... would be nice to hang out with a group of pilots for a change.

7pm works for me.

It'll be good to see you again Rich.
(and you too Christine!)
(and everyone else too!)

Stone Cold · January 12th, 2007, 21:29

How late are y'all planning on being there? I will (hopefully) be in around 1030PM, so I might mozy on over there to see if anybody's left.

kellwolf · January 12th, 2007, 22:57

Heh. If anyone wants to hang out at the MSP airport, I'll be in and out all day Monday. No? Yeah, didn't think so.

Weekends would make it a little easier that’s for sure! I have a few students that are scheduled to fly on Saturdays (Tues,Thurs,Sat launches), but with a little planning I’m sure I could work a little longer on Thursdays or Mondays to get the time off. Maybe next time...

Dazzler · January 13th, 2007, 10:11

I will be at Major's at 7pm on Monday, with wife and kids in tow.
(So MinnFlyer, you have no excuse now not to bring yours!)

We don't need a reservation or anything, right?

And just a heads up .... if we get 7 inches of snow or whatever like they're predicting, there's no way I'm going out driving in that. But if the snow stops early enough and they have a chance to clear the roads, then I will definitely be there. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the MSP M&G got postponed for bad winter weather?

Sounds like the weather is supposed to blow through tonight (Sunday) and be done by early Monday. Let's be sure to post back here on Monday afternoon if we cancel so we don't have 1 or 2 people waiting around wondering what happened.

Doing my best to piss off MSP approach,

Picking up squaks for advisories during airwork so we don't get mid-aired west of FCM. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

I have a cure for that. Just avoid the practice area west of FCM! I usually take my students just west of Buffallo lake. A little bit further, but more room to breathe. And some nice fields out there for the Rectangular Course

So are you going to be there Christine? You're the organizer of this part-aay so you'd better bloody well be there! I want to see something other than the back of your head this time!

I will be there. I'm spending my day off getting snow tires mounted. I'm sick of being scolded by the mechanic at every oil change because all four tires are bald.

Great - looking forward to seeing you again!

Ya'll need to try Punch Pizza.

It is expensive, but it's the best pizza around.

Three in the MSP area that I know of. One in St. Paul, one right by Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis, and one next to the EP Mall.
