Upcoming Fly-ins - from Colorado Pilots Assoc

[Codeeno]

The Colorado Pilots Association just put out their schedule of fly-ins for 2017. While there are more than a couple of them I am going to try to get to - there are two that I thought others on here might be interested in and we could meet up.

March 3-5 - Cactus Fly-in - KCGZ - Casa Grande, AZ - south of Phoenix

May 20-21 - Sedona Fly-in - KSEZ - Sedona, AZ

I am contemplating using these as an excuse to head farther west. I'd depart the fly-in and head to Napa, CA. My thinking is the Bank of Dean won't connect the fuel receipts if it's part of a fly-in that's budgeted and then 1/2 the trip to see my sister in Napa is paid for LOL.

But - it'd be great to see some of our Commander brethren who are West or West Coast-ish. I've done one fly-in with the CO Pilot's association (West Yellowstone) and it was a lot of fun - good people, good food, and aviation.

Thoughts anyone?

Dean,

As I told you before, I may be moving your way this year... Coincidentally, I joined the CPA recently ($20!) and would be interested in these fly-ins, schedule permitting. Wife is scheduler!

Let me know your plans; hope to be around then.

Alan,

Great - CPA is a great value. Let me know if you are going to be in Denver anytime soon. There was hangar at JeffCo (KBJC) in Craigslist FYI.

Let me know if I can help with anything on this end.

Dean,
Let us know if you get near CCR. We have at least 5 Commanders here. At Napa APC there is a restaurant on the ramp and another hidden in the nearby Industrial Park. Also, Pradeep is the Manager at the FBO, Napa Jet Center. Really a neat and accommodating gent (from India). Let him know that you one of "us." He will probably give you a complementary bottle of wine.

John,

You will be hearing from me! I've driven around CCR waiting on my sister to be done with stuff at work - and saw a Commander on the ramp out side. Glad to hear there's a few! I looked at Sonoma airports versus Napa and thinking that Napa is where I should tie down. My sister is in Napa, they have better runways, a nice big valley to climb up in, etc...

Will give you a heads up when I make the jaunt
