Copperstate Fly in Casa Grande Arizona 25-28 Oct

Post by **joea** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 19:15

Just trying to get things spooled up for the upcoming Copper State fly-in next month in Casa Grande Arizona. 25-28th of October, and a beautiful time to come for a visit.

We have had several award winning Aeronca's there, including Tom Holmes TC-65 that won the Grand Championship award several years back, so lets keep up the tradition by flying a lot of Aeronca's here.

More info at: http://www.copperstate.org/index.html

Hope to see a lot of the NAA group over here in a month!

Joe,
It looks like I have some other business in your area in Oct. So I should be able to make the Fly-in. If anyone needs something transported to Casa Grande from the SF Bay area let me know.

Paul,

Glad that someone is coming.

To tell the truth I now may not make it there. Work just called and wants me on standby from the 22nd on, so not sure right now. Supposed to head to Berlin and Moscow for a couple of months.

If you head this direction pls let me know! If I am not here have friends who will be at the fly-in.

I will be at Copperstate on Friday and Saturday. I am volunteering and it looks like I will be driving a golf cart transporting pilots from their planes to registration. My wife will be working the registration booth. I think our duty times are about 4 hrs a day.

Look us up if you come.

Regards

If things change will be there 100% and will put a note on the forum so we can meet.

I just returned from Casa Grande. The Fly-in looked to be a sucess for the EAA.
There was very few antiques at the show, and I only saw one Aeronca a Chief. The Forums were well attended as was the Trade show. Stewarts Systems displayed their covering system and the forum was well recieved. This is a good product.
I was able to spend a day at the Pima Museum in Tucson and its worth the time. They have many of the military heavys. The only missing aircraft was the first Air Force aircraft, the L16.
The Cactus Fly-in is held at Casa Grande in March and would be a great opportunity for many of the Easteners to escape the cold.

Is anyone going to Copperstate this year? All of the sudden I've got this flying bug to go cross country. Any chance the locals will be on site. There is a rumor that a Sedan might be there.

Does a cat have an a$$? Does a bear... well you know the answer to both of those I bet!

Unless we have a flight I will be there. That said I have not gotten our flight schedule for anything past the second week of Sept so am simply hoping and praying right now!

Hope to see you there!

I MIGHT be coming down. Sure would like to meet some of you. My son just headed back to college in Prescott (Embry-Riddle) and I promised to bring him down a car so he can chase women. LOL (Very few in his school) I may try and schedule it so I can bring it down during the flyin.

It can happen though. My neighbor is an alumni from the Prescot campus and met her husband at Embry-Riddle. Of course it was later, when she was instructing at their Florida campus!
