Hey guys,

the colors. Cappy

The leaves on Grandfather Mountain are starting, and
my neighbor's Maple's are starting. EAA 731 timed
it's fall fly-in this year to coincide with the peak
of Leaf Peeking season. If you're looking for
something to do, the fly-in is going to by at
Foothills Regional (formerly Morganton Lenoir) KMRN
Sat Oct 20th. Coffee, Breakfast and Lunch. We will
also be flying Young Eagles. So, spread the word,
encourage non-aviators to come and have a great time,
especially if they are interested in YE.

If you weren't there, you missed a good one! Weather and BBQ were
outstanding, as was the show put on by the guys in Palmetto Flight. A
big thanks from EAA Chapter 297 to those that attended. Your next chance
for some good grub at Stag will most likely be the chili feed in
February.
If you're looking for a destination the second Saturday of the month,
stop by Stag for lunch. Chapter meeting starts at 1000, with lunch
served at 1200.
thanks again,
Tony Spicer

I flew up from Tampa for the Evergreen (Alabama) EAA SERFI fly-in on
Saturday. There was a nice turnout of about 30 RV's, and about 200
planes total. Not many drive-ins from the local area however.
The organization of the event left alot to be desired. We arrived at
9:45 AM only to find that the pancake breakfast was over and done with.
The only other food vendor was some greasy sausage trailer. Ugh! After
a long flight we were also looking forward to a port-a-potty, only to
find after much searching around, there were only 3 on the field.
Nobody seemed to be in charge nor was there any information booth set
up. Those with officials tags around their necks were clueless where
things were and knew nothing about the event.
When it came time to leave I went to the FBO to inquire about fuel. It
seems they parked all the static display planes around the fuel farm,
leaving no access to the pumps. So I was told they had a 250 gallon
truck that was fueling planes, but obviously the driver had to go back
to the pumps to refill his truck, about every 5 planes. The FBO had no
radio to the fuel truck, so the procedure I was told was to chase the
driver down. After walking all over the grounds, I couldn't see or find
the fuel truck. Apparently the driver was "taking a break". 1 hour
later I found him and asked for fuel. He told me he'd put me on the
list.........and I was number 25 in line.........about a 2 1/2 hour
wait. I told him to forget it.........left Evergreen and fueled up
elsewhere.
Needless to say I left with a bad taste in my mouth for the Evergreen
Fly-in. I'll never go back. Should have gone to Thomasville instead.
You'd think that with one weekend each year to showcase their airport,
that they'd do a much better job of organizing things. Not to mention
making some money.

Trust me when I say these types of issues have been going there for quite some
time. Three years ago I spoke to an official about not being able to get fuel,
and he said "we are not here to fuel planes, and if you want gas you should go
someplace else." Needless to say I could not believe what I was hearing. The
real probem was for a few guys who were in planes that were day VFR only and
were not going to be able to get gas and get home before dark. Add to all this
the fact that this reginal flyin has gone down hill for the past few years. There
is one saving grace in all of this, and that would be the Thomasville, GA
flyin that occurs the same weekend. The Thomasville flyin has been going on for
about 30 years, long before Evergreen. This past weekend Thomasville had about
500 planes, 30 or so RV's, and was well oganized with lots of volunteers.
It is not an air show, but a huge meet and greet for like mind people who love
aviation. Next year do yourself a favor and come
to south Georgia, we would love to see you.

My experience at Evergreen (the airport, not just the flyin) is that you
probably should be glad you couldn't get fuel there. They typically
have the most expensive fuel in the area.
I got disillusioned with the flyin about a dozen years ago when they
started trying to charge day-visitors (not campers) who flew in in
homebuilts $10 per person.
