Thread Title : Updated Announcement
Richard updated the announcement specifically for XOPA:
The Third Annual Touring Motor Glider Fly-In will be held (again) this
year at Minden, Nevada from June 17 - 19, 2011. Last year there were
15 ships representing seven different manufacturers, and 25 overall
participants in attendance. Activities include informational briefings
on aircraft maintenance and flight optimization, social events (a
group dinner at a Basque restaurant, and a hangar BBQ), and of course
June is an outstanding soaring month in Nevada. Last year several
Ximango owners participated in the event, with one coming from the
East coast. The timing for the meet has been coordinated with the
opening of the Auxiliary Sailplane Association's annual meet in
Parowan, Utah, for those who want to fly from Minden to Parowan for
If you're interested, please sign up at the organizer's website: Touring_Motor_Glider_Fly-In@yahoogroups.com
There is no fee for the event, and the only requirement is to have fun.

Thread Title : Predicted Attendees
Based upon side conversations, I am predicting we will have the following attendees:
Ron Snedecor (XOPA host since he hangars at Minden)
John & Susan Lawton (John had such a great time last year is coming from TN again, this time with wife so he can stay longer)
Tom Muller (I think this will be his fifth annual trek from Georgia to the West Coast in a Ximango)
Steve & Dave Sliwa (we hope to bring the bird this year and do some soaring trips)
Are there any others that want to come? Let us know and we can help you with the planning.

The weather is going to have to dramatically improve for me to make Minden this year. I'm really not interested in flying 3000 miles to sit and watch the wind blow. Still looking at heading to Driggs, ID, for some soaring over the Tetons at some point, but the weather up there is going to have to improve, too. A friend of mine who lives in NW Wyoming told me the snow pack is still thick and it's not melting due to cool temps.
Unless some dramatic improvements in the weather happen, and soon, my western trip will likely be postponed until later in the summer.

We will continue to monitor the weather for you.
