> how about organizing a northeast flyin nj del. maryland penn area??? Ernie, You’ve been reading my mind. How about my (new) homebase? Allaire airport - BLM - close to the NJ coastline. 7,300 foot runway, restaurant on field, self-serve fuel, close enough to NYC if you want to stay over… far enough that you don’t have to see it if you don’t want to. (Although… just imagine a flight of SR2Xs strung out like pearls up the Hudson Corridor… we could give the crusty La Guardia controllers something to remember.) How about a week from tomorrow - Sunday 25th? - Mike. ---

> how about organizing a northeast flyin nj del. maryland penn area??? The People’s Revolutionary Cirrus Fly-In Committee proclaims a unanimous “hear, hear!” and wishes it could be there! Have fun! As a former NJ resident, I recall that late April/early May can be drop-dead gorgeous in the northeast. ---

> how about organizing a northeast flyin nj del. maryland penn area??? If you might attend a CECFI (Cirrus East Coast Fly-In), please email me (or post) your available dates ASAP. For my part, I’m OK with any weekend day up to Saturday, May 19th; not the 20th, because that’s my wedding anniversary, and I don’t want the title of FMCP (First Maimed Cirrus Pilot). After that, I’ll be traveling until early June, so that weekends starting with 6/10 are OK again. Hopefully we can have a most-likely-to-suit-most-folks date within a few days, and then we can worry about the venue. Mike. ---

All, It looks like May 12th has won by a landslide; unfortunately for me, I have a family commitment that day (previously forgotten, but my wife reminded me…); so I won’t be able to attend. ![](http://www.infomaniak.ch/~dblock/faces/casus/sad.gif) Does anyone know of a way to “call in sick” to a family affair, and then still go flying? - Mike. ---

Unfortunately, Mike’s suggested date of April 29 will not work for us. June 10 is fine, or sometime in May… (Or we can just catch you guys next time around if 4/29 works for everyone else.) Steve ---

I also would be very interested in northeast flyin, but April 29 does not work either. A date farther in the future might work out better for planning purposes. Cheers! Brand Fortner 314BF, based at FME ---

Rivet lovers will have to park in the back row. I will be parked next to yours until Sept. Robin’s date is good for me too.

> > Hello All ECCL, > Where is the fly in going to take place on May 12? > Jeff > SR22 #228 First we should confirm that May 12th works – Mike, I think you were collecting votes for dates; does May 12th appear to work for a sizeable majority of folks? I believe two suggestions for locales have been made so far – Mike’s home base of BLM and Ocean City, NJ (26N). I’ve never flown to either place before, but Ocean City sounds like it might be nice - we could even sit on the beach for a while if the weather is nice. Plus it makes Mike use his plane rather than the car for getting to the FLY-in. 🙂 Are the facilities at Ocean City amenable to a group of 5-10 aircraft stopping by? Steve ---

The ramp is spacious, and there’s a restaurant on the field (I’ve never eaten there, though). It is about a 5-6 block walk to the ocean (just under a half a statute mile). There are more restaurants along the boardwalk. Glenn p.s. Beware the Nimbys in the surrounding neighborhood. They succesfully lobbied to get rid of the rotating beacon; who knows what they’ll try next. ---

Hello, all– As position holder #275 (fall delivery?) and also a SOCATA (Rallye) owner, I’d like to join the fly-in. May 12 is fine with me. Info on Ocean City: Airport Diner serves 7-2:30. I’ve flown in with kids; good sandwiches and soup. $7 landing fee covers 24 hours. In May, 100LL sold 8-8. FBO has good concrete ramp space and showers for the many people going to the beach three blocks away. While its inside space holds just a few, outside there are four benchtables and the diner might close for a private group. Mike Strutzel Alexandria, Va. ---

Since alot of us are contract holders and not yet fortunate Cirrus owners, we should get a way to identify each other. If you are coming, please e-mail me([ferrari@twcny.rr.com](mailto:ferrari@twcny.rr.com)) with your name, plane type and tail number. I will compile a list and e-mail it back to everyone. See you all May 12 in Ocean City. What time works for everyone? 10? 11? I will contact Bruce Gunter and see if I can talk him into bring up an SR22 for some demo flights.
