Hey Tim! Welcome to Rivetbangers! I'm not in the north east, nor do I have a flying RV, but I wanted to say hi!

Are you working on one? Getting ready? Almost finished?

Tell me, tell me!!

Hi Tim!

I haven't gotten my issue yet, but am looking forward to seeing it!

If you wanna fly up to KPYM this Saturday, I am hosting another "open hangar" at hangar #5. This time we are using Christmas as an excuse to get together!

Ummmmm, not sure about time just yet. I need to pick up my dog at the groomer's. I am sure someone will be there while I am gone!

PM me for details!

Anyone else wanna come up? I know PK and Noah are coming provided the WX is good!

Hi Tim,

I see your on Long Island, sounds like a quick 1/2 hour hop to Hangar#5.
Hope to see you on the 22nd if the weather is nice.

I'm building an 8, and currently flying a 4 based out of EWB.

Welcome to the group.

Tim, that would be great!

Also, anyone else who wants to swing by, please do!

We are centerfield in the portable hangars behind the big green one, number 5.

COOL!

Looks like WX will be good!

Winds are forecasted at being 150 at next to NUTTIN!

Using runway 24, on your rollout slightly after the halfway mark, make a right turn off the runway to the northside. You will see the aforementioned green hangars. Taxi to the left of both of them and park either between the long red one and the portable ones or in front of mine. I am in the middle of the pack. Come in the back door to Hangar #5! You will walk past the right wing of the old Cherokee parked there.

Here's hoping the weather's nice as I'm looking to fly over for the visit.
I've sent an invite out to some other pilots I formation fly with, so perhaps if we are lucky, we can put on a show for ya if they can make it.

Just so everyone is on the same page, I won't be getting there much earlier than 2PM!

If people want to bring soda, cups and chips... I will have everything else!
