Greetings from Mt. Vernon, Illinois - proud home of the Plane & Pilot Midwest LSA Expo and EAA Chapter 1155.  The event is just over two weeks away.  This is your official invitation!

 

The event is in its 6th year and is scheduled for Thursday, September 4th, through, Saturday, September 6th, 2014 at Mt. Vernon Outland Airport (KMVN), Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  Along with nearly every major LSA distributor on the flightline, there will also be a great mix of STOL, Part 103, gyroplanes, and homebuilts.  There is a unique event because it is one of the few that offers the attendee the ability to comparison shop and then quickly and conveniently take demo flights.  Visit www.midwestlsashow.com for all the details. 

 

I am very excited about this year's expo.  My team and I are doing everything possible to further aviation at this event:

 

Admission to the Plane & Pilot Midwest LSA Expo is FREE!  The welcome mat is out for everyone.  Hopefully a few new pilot starts will occur.

 

The best in the business are scheduled for three days of Seminars/Forums.  Navigating via iPAD, Gyroplane Operations, and Flying to the Bahamas are just a few of the topics.

 

In conjunction with the Jefferson County Hall of Honor and Colonel R.D. White Veterans Museum (www.VeteransHallofHonor.com), a Veterans Reunionwill be held inside the museum daily during the Expo.  Come meet some of the heroes responsible for our freedom.  Different Warbird aircraft are expected to be on static display supporting the Veterans Reunion.

 

Women With Wings, the St. Louis Chapter of Women In Aviation, will be hosting their Aircraft Washon Saturday, September 6th.  The WWW Aircraft Wash raises scholarship funds for aspiring female aviators in the St. Louis Metro.

 

93 Octane/10% Ethanol Premium Auto Fuel will be availablefor the Rotax powered aircraft.  The airport has mobile JetA, 100LL, and RoGas capabilities.

 

Free camping is availableat the airport.  Whether it is under the wing of your airplane, in a tent down by our lakeshore shelter, or in a land schooner plugged into our electrical grid, we have a great spot for you.  Stay one night or several.  Free showers are available too.

 

Of course there are many hotel rooms just three miles from the airport.  Catch a free shuttleto hotel row - no need for ground transportation. 

 

Visit us at www.midwestlsashow.com for more information.

 

Please forward this invitation to all of your aviation contacts.   I look forward to seeing you in September!

I received tubing from Wicks today - ordered it yesterday!

Is anyone going to the LSA meet at Mt. Vernon, Illinois?   The J3 is going to Wisconsin that week, so I might just drive over to the LSA gathering.

I'm thinking about it, but won't know for sure until a day or so before I go.  Probably just fly the Cherokee over.

Mark,

     Look for me there if I go - U.S. Army on black cap, on a short, ugly old man, and I will try to wear my Blue EAA nametag.

If I go, I'll send you a PM.  I'll be a not tall, not handsome, not quite as old man with a piper yellow Jack Brown Seaplane base hat on.  And likely a tropical shirt - I like to pretend I'm in Florida even when I'm not.

Forecast for Mt. Vernon is 106F heat index, and probably 130F on tarmac - Guess I will stay home and read new Wicks catalog.  They had 4 inches of snow in Barrow, AK this morning!
