Norcal EAA Regional GoldenWest in Marysville June 9-10

Postby AvidFlyer » Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:21 am

This weekend is the big EAA show for this area. Most of the big vendors will be there such as Dynon, Lycoming, Aircraft Spruce, ect. I am planning on an early Saturday morning arrival. Our very own Taildrgfun (Steve the Highlander guy) will be there to represent Highlander. I know Zenith will also be there with a booth. PM me if you plan on attending and want to try and meet up. This is a good show to see the latest and greatest gizmos and gadgets.

It will be Towered for the weekend and has specific arrival procedures so please review before coming in

Hey joey,

I'll probably head over tomorrow morning some time, work permitting of course, but pretty good chance. Saturday I'll be working for sure #-o

Thanks for the link!

Joey, if Al Gligi is still ruñning the FBO there, tell him I said hi.

He was the Pocatello Av Center owner for a lot of years. Good guy.

I tried to get to the fly-in on Saturday and had about a 50mph headwind. I was indicating 85mph with a ground speed of 28mph. It was gusting over 30kts at Marysville all day.

At 28MPH it should have only taken a few hours :)
Didn't that event get blown out last year?

I went on Friday and it was really nice weather, light winds out of the NW. Talked with Taildrgfun (Steve) at length about the Highlander and took just under a million pics of his plane. I'm putting together a highlander myself and his was the first one I've seen. It really helps to see a finished example...

Turnout was not that great, I was hoping for the sake of the event, that more would show up on sat and sun, but sounds like it wasn't a fun weekend to fly in.
