    2019 Airventure - Oshkosh, WI

    Planning on flying my Pipistrel Virus SW and parking it at the North 40. I will be renting a 5th wheel and staying at Sleepy Hollow Campground.
  2. The path of Totality of the solar eclipse on 8/21/17 passes over Triple Tree Aerodrome in South Carolina. I'm planning to make the flight down to Triple Tree Aerodrome to participate in their fly in for the event. I"m not likely to get another chance to experience this in my lifetime. Total Solar Eclipse, 7,000 foot turf runway, meal events, lots of aircraft and pilots....What's not to like? Will schedule arrival to Triple Tree or nearby Spartansburg, SC depending on weather. The best part is that if clear skies are not locally predicted on the day of eclipse, we can fly westerly to get a better view. See this link: http://www.tripletreeaerodrome.com/eclipse-fly-in.php for Triple Tree details. Regards to all. Dave Glosser

    2017 Fly-In Planning Underway

    We are in the process of planning the events for 2017. Here are some preliminary notes so you can place a hold on your calendars: 2017 East Coast Fly-In April 2016 saw the first TMGA East coast fly-in, hosted by Jim and Kathy Lee (USA Phoenix distributor). The response to the event was such that we decided to continue the fly–in on that coast. Jim and Kathy, however, decided to en-camp for Minden, NV as a permanent base of his Phoenix operation and, in true TMGA fashion, another TMGA’er stepped forward. We are pleased to announce that the 2017 East coast fly-in will be managed by Mike and Suzanne Schumann (new Phoenix owners). The event will be held in Naples, Florida Thursday March 30th through Sunday April 2nd. The timing was decided upon to coincide with both the Sun-N-Fun national fly-in and baseball spring training. The weather should be great, and Naples is a world-class destination. We’ll be arranging lots of non-flying things to do and we’re confident that we’ll again get a great banquet speaker. Stay tuned for details, but plan on coming for a great time. For non-USA TMGA’ers, there are major international airports within 100 miles of Naples so, think about making this fly-in as part of a great USA vacation. We’re only five months away from this fly-in, so get on the list by accessing the EVENTS tab on the website, then go to the 2017 East Coast sub-tab. 2017 Mid-America Fly-In At Minden this September the question was asked: why isn’t there a mid-country Fly-In. Since we didn’t have a good answer, we tasked the question-poser to come up with some ideas (no good deed goes unpunished)! It will most likely be held in the summer, so stay tuned for details. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please post them to: richard.pearl@motorgliders.org. 2017 Western Fly-In In 2017 we’ll continue the tradition of moving the western Fly-In around to new locations. Southern California TMGA’er Gabriel Cioffi (turbo Diamond) has volunteered to be the local “sparkplug”, with a proposed fly-in at Camarillo, California. This coastal airport in Ventura County – just north of Los Angeles – offers exceptional geographic beauty and many exciting places to fly to, and ground visit. At this point we’re thinking about late August or early September. Stay tuned.
  4. My wife and I are planning an outing from PA to Bar Harbor in July. Too bad we can't fit the bikes in the plane...I see rentals in my future. Any interest in a September/October Northeastern or Mid-Atlantic fly in? Was lately in Edenton, NC....great airport and extremely charming little town. Saratoga Springs, NY is great too. For those of us who can't make the trip to Minden, perhaps a summer-stretcher to coastal N. Carolina, or a fall foliage trip to the Adirondacks or Vermont would be fun Ideas? I've flown wave at Sugarbush around the Columbus Day weekend a few times, and it was spectacular. Saratoga Springs has a great airport which is the site of active soaring and has access to the many comforts and charms of both Saratoga Springs itself and the Lake Placid Adirondack region. I don't have anything formal in mind, just a nice spouse-friendly 2-3 day visit for site seeing, companionship, dining, and soaring.

    2016 TMGA Fly-In Planning

    Richard Pearl (our chairman) and I developed the a survey to help the planning committee decide upon next year's event. We think if we lock it in sooner, it will help us plan for another great event. If you have ever attended one of our fly-in events or think that you might in the future, please take the survey. Survey: link
  6. We can't let the West Coast folks have all the fun! We are looking for ideas and people to create an inaugural East Coast Fly-in that reflects our soaring traditions. We are considering a weekend event centrally located in the Appalachians or Blue Ridge Mountains. Add your comments to this post and watch for a link to a survey for more specifics. We hope it will be a time to get together and share experiences and ideas and see what direction it will take in the future!
  7. Our chairman reports that plans for the next fly-in are going well. Here is his report: Stay tuned to this thread and the latest on the "Events" tab to keep track of plans. Please sign-up as soon as practical on our sign-up page.
  8. Let's collect up our trip reports to and from Minden, NV in this thread.
