Well do to a collective decision the location for the fly in has changed. With the high heat ,chelan winds, and no hanger space we have decided it in the best interest of safety and comfort to move the fly in back to polson montana. Vinny was very happy to have us back. Nathan will have his famous evening washtub fire pit. Live music by myself and dan hollenback. We will have possably up to three hangers available. Polsen has very cool comfortable weather flying on the lake. We will have a couple of boats available for flathead lake tours. We will have a ping pong table and vollyball as well. Very sorry for those of you looking foward to chelan but it would be very uncomfortable on the airport without hanger space Thank you and please way in here with suggestions as tom and i would like some imput. Please feel free even if you think you might attend? | |

Well, this is 5th year in a roll. I'm glad I could attend the fly-in every year. But I got a bad news today. I don't think I have my trike done by the fly-in.
Henry, are you talking about your new Rev or are you having some work done on the Revo?

Hi all, coupla questions about the event:
Hi dustin i called tom and geo who our planning to fly to polson . the only problem is they our planning a rather lengthy flight around montana before ending up in polson. So i will send you there contact info and you can discuss it with them . lookin your private message box for the info. hey will see you there.
hi all i confirmed today that we will have some room in vinnys hanger , another medium sized hanger and the large hanger that we had two years ago availible in case of bad weather. So far we are looking at another sixteen pilots planning on attending. IF anyone has a ping pong table or a volly ball and net they could bring please contact me at 406-214-0850 . if not i will go out and find one. Dave g do you know if dean and his wife are coming if so let me know so i can get a good head count. weather has been much cooler than the rest of the country so we should have some pretty good flying.
i WANTED TO MENTION we have a small group of soaring trike pilots including myself . ultratrikepilot and j ebb that are planning on flying mt mcdonald (the highest peak in the mission range, 9.820 ft lat 47.38300 deg north and longatuide 113.918 deg west) WEATHER AND WIND CONDITIONS PERMITTING. The mission range is has a vertical rise of 6.ooo ft and should offer an incredible lift ban . there are also some soarable smaller hills a hop skip and jump away from polsen that we soared 2 years ago.
tom tabbs and george balaz will head up and lead the 912 xc events with of course some breath taking places to fly including glacier as wind permits.
And once again a short hop to the west over to hot springs montana to grab the courtesy car and soak in the rich mineral springs water and nice flight back to polson on flathead lake to injoy nathans famous washtub fire pit.
if we are all lucky maybe we could talk tom into a video lecture on the glacieral floods that happened here from lake missoula by anymeans will see you there?
hey david wont be able to make it this year.too many things going on but we will have our canadian amdasador dave g on the flight line this year.he is flying with me in lumby now and doing good.hate too miss out on all that fun and fellowship.always next year.hi to sonjia too

Ok...sooo....I hit attending because I am seriously considering coming up. It's a really long drive...17+ hours, but I would really like to fly there and meet many of you in person after chatting and sharing on-line.
How is the hangar space thing? Is there room left? Chris and I will more than likely come up. Talking to the wife right now and seeing if we can make it.
Ok....count me in boys, I'm coming up to Polson! :D
well ive been trying to do a headcount but it looks like we are going to break the record for pilot attendance.
iam so happy that iam were finally all going to meet leo lezi and criss wills is coming again with his awesome machine. i talked with tom last night and he is just so upbeat getting ready to have a great time with new and old friends. geo text me a nice picture of his repair on his blue f-16 fatom trike. he just got done with a really nice flight. just looking forward to having a wonderful up beat down to earth fly in with everyone. so far iam seeing a headcount of over 25 pilots so i think we are going to break the record. there will be intro flights provided at the fly in for those who would like a ride. there will surely be a xc flight over to hot springs montana. very popular 2 years ago so bring your swim suits.
i also want to mention that joe hockman is trailering all the way from delaware with his maverick with a solairus wing the last few years joe has been heading up the part 103 group such as myself and j ebb that like the soaring trike catagory so any of you who fly 103 come and enjoy flying with us.
henry imagwa will be coming with leo fitzgerald for thous of you who have not had the privelege of meeting leo fitzgerald he just has a wealth of knowlege flying just about anything. and of course many of us are pretty excited to see henrys pretty incredable rev with the polini thor 250.
iam making some calls and hope that we could get a new aeros ant for everyone to see.
it would be awesome if we could get kameron to come its not that far from chelan .
so bring your happy faces horse shoes, volly balls, ping pong paddles ,swim suits and lets make this the best one yet.
todd ware will be working on some advertising for us and setting up an open house day for the general public. Great way to promote our sport and those cfis that want to make a few bucks can doing introductory flights
be safe everyone thanks
Leo F! Is Roger coming?!?!
Leo, really glad to hear you will be coming. Although 17+ hours is a significant drive I am sure you will enjoy it and think it all very worth while. Trike pilots and their significant others I have met at the NW trike fly-in are a great bunch of people. Oh and BTW I have a 2500 mile drive which could at least 37 hours driving time. No l did not do the drive the last few years but I decided to do it this time. Might be the craziest idea I ever had but the flying out there is awesome.
So looking forward to it! Can't wait to meet so many of you! :D
It sucks to have to pull out of this event because i really love the comraderie that is developed at these fly-ins but unfortuneately my love has sustained some pretty serious injuries from a motorcycle incident and I wont leave her for that length of time.
It will make next years Pacific Northwest fly-in even sweeter to look forward to.
I will expect that lots of you will take and post some of the fun for everyone to see.
Dave thank you for the call . We all totally understand. Iam know that all of us will be hopeing for your wifes complete and speedy recovery, truly dave your big warm shining face will be missed at the fly in. But we also totally understand. Hang in there my friend, your,e a good man ,husband, father, and pilot. Your wife will be in my prayers. Iam sure that is a concensus of all of us who have had the privelege of meeting you and your wife for the first time 3 years ago. You will be missed but we will hold a special place for you next year. God speed in recovery dave.
Dave, really sad to here the news of your wife. Although we will all miss you, I think you are definitely making the right decision to be there for her. Hang in there. We are praying for you and her.
Dave, I echo everyone's sentiments. You will be missed and Deb and I will be praying also for your wife. Please post updates as she recovers.
