If any of you think this might be a good thing to do, post your ideas of where would be a good place to do it. Perhaps Doug and Betty might be interested in hosting such a thing, like most of the kit plane outfits do. I don't think they even monitor this list, so they may not be interested.

If all the Allegro owners on this list that are east of the Mississippi would give you their physical location you could pick a central location (relative to all of the locations) and see if we could pull it off. I know there are at least 6 to 8 Allegros here in NC and VA, and maybe more. Just a note to tell you that we have a local fly-in here at Laneys Airport (N92) twice a year. They are held on the second Saturday in May and October. In May of this year we had over 40 planes. The field has two grass strips 2000 feet long 90? to each other. If Laneys is central to all of those who would like to meet, I'm sure I could arrange with Charles Laney (the Owner) to host such a "gathering". Let me know if I can help.

From: "Thom Riddle" --> Allegro-List message posted by: "Thom Riddle" Hugh, I think for our first event, perhaps piggy-backing onto an existing fly-in makes a lot of sense. Does the Laneys spring fly-in have a website with the details? From Buffalo, it is a five hour flight plus one fuel and head stop. If it is a 2-3 day affair it would make the trip worth while. I'm flying to Kentucky in a couple weeks, about the same distance, no big deal if the weather is good. There is an Allegro Frappr! website with a map of those Allegro operators who have chosen to log in and post their location. If we can get all those interested to use this site, we can make an educated guess about appropriate location. Here is a link to the Allegro Frappr! website. http://www.frappr.com/allegro2000 If anyone is interested in an eastern Allegro gathering, please respond to the list and let us know where you are on the Frappr! map. -------- Thom in Buffalo Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=60398#60398
