Cessna 170 Convention - Longmont 2012

[coloradokevbot]

Heading out to fly this morning at my home airport KLMO, I stumbled upon 10 or 12 Cessna 170's with apparently more on the way for this years type club convention. I don't fly a 170 but if anyone is coming to the area this week, shoot me a P.M. and I'll gladly meet up and grab lunch or something!

Sweet! I had no idea - cause I don't own a 170.

July 9-13:

Look for me wandering around the ramp and babbling endlessly... Please someone give me a ride - it's the only cure.

I didn't know either. Too bad I probably won't have time to come up and check out the planes. 170B's are on my list, never flown one, but hoping to real soon with a good friend as he passes through.

Tadpole, timing looks like late August after I finish upgrade training at CAE Dallas

All lined up, but nobody was around:

There will be some of us out-and-about this afternoon. Safety and maintenance seminars at the south hangars 1200-1530.

Right outside my hangar. What a neat sight!

Ummm, safety meeting at the Left Hand Tap? Sorry, Kevbot, you've got to bring an adult family member But I'm DARN glad you're helping the site

Thanks. cubscout

Any festivities a non-170 owner could drop by by for tomorrow?

I'm curious as to how many 170's will show up. Seems like attendance at fly-ins (type convention or regular) is dwindling, some friends of mine go to the Luscombe fly-in at Columbia CA every year & it sounds like it has shrunk considerably in the past 10 years.

I used to belong to the C170 assoc. while I owned mine for 10 years. Got some good info from the site but the closest they ever had a get together was Durango CO. There are some beautiful 170's out there.

There are some *really* neat ones out there. Drop in if you get a chance!

I just wish the 170 could get on top of the weather on a warm day in Colorado with three adults, a dog, gas, and bags...

Anyone at the 170 fly in know if there will still be a lot of 170's there Saturday morning? I might fly over and check it out.

I don't know how many 170's will be left, but this Saturday is:
"July 14, Saturday, AAA of CO/Longmont Hangar Owners Pot Luck Fly In
LMO, hosted by J.D. Gleitz and Al Manley...at their hangar on the South side of the runway. Please
bring a dish, dessert, or something tasty to share. 1100-until the flying is done and the food is gone!"

There should be quite a few planes coming in, and there will be parking for them on the edge of the skydive lz. I will have the Pacer out, and my dad and I are bringing our Pietenpol project for display.
