hi guys - would like all the members of KATL ( or other hub members ) to possibly suggest some ideas for a fly-in that we could perhaps put towards the hub-manager and the online flying event co-ordinators to organise for the end of this month or even the beginning of November! So what do you suggest......

Hi,

As you said, the Fly-In's are organized by the Hub Manager.
So, send him an email explaining your ideas

... For now, he is the only one that manages this.

Regards,

ok Bruno i just wanted to get some ideas from the other pilots before i put forward any ideas towards the hub manager :>

Hi Brian, are we looking towards a maybe 1 - 2 hour flight like the other hubs? If so, maybe New York is an option, or maybe Cuba.

Flight 5874 to New York is Class 5 (EuroHarmony) and 659NM.
Flight H1035 to Havana is Class 4 (EuroHolidays) and 647NM. There is also EuroCargo Flight C572 to Havana which is Class 4 also.

Some ideas, to consider. I think, Brian, we're relying on support of people from other hubs since only three (if Maarten comes) of us will be there.

i think we should look towards a 1-2 hour flight - KATL is a hub like all the others so why be different? i'm sure all the guys from the other hubs will support us in the fly-in Ben and i like your idea about Cuba - i think that would be a good flight to make! we will see if anyone else from the other hubs has any suggestions - then i'll forward on our ideas to Kendy

Hi guys, not from KATL here lol

may i suggest KATL -> TNCM? ;Dits class 5 EHO, and since its EuroHolidays, Ben, you can use the c6 757;)

and depending on the time of the fly-in, i may join you guys;)

EHM-1671 Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2006, 06:54:22 am »

It's a three and a half hour flight, so it might not be a good idea... Brian?

EHM-1821 Javier · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2006, 10:57:42 am »

3 and a half hours? hmm, didnt know that:]

EHM-1671 Ben · « **Reply #8 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:18:06 am »

1500NM flight, unfortunately... would have been a great idea though!

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2006, 12:59:07 pm »

yeah i think 3 hours is stretching it a little bit but could be an idea for the future once we get KATL properly established - I think we should start off small and work our way up! so 1-2 hours will be fine..... but thanks for yourt input Javier your support is well and truly appreciated :> and i hope your able to take part in our fly-in as we need the support of everyone to make it a success!

Can everyone handle a visual approach witha large plane at this interesting airport??

Also like Ben said, the flight time shouldn't be over 2 hours .
There are also some nice destination, where we can find a wonderful beach after landing and to drink some Carribean cocktails together :]

Kendy

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2006, 04:37:28 pm »

cocktails sound good to me Kendy lol - :]

EHM-1671 Ben · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2006, 09:43:42 pm »

There are two flights that go to the Bahamas (Freeport and Nassau), both EuroHolidays Class 4. Around the 500NM mark... anyone interested? It's in the Bermuda triangle too, for some extra fun

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2006, 10:52:10 pm »

i like that idea Ben - i think we will definitely put that on our shortlist for Kendy!

EHM-1555 Kendy · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2006, 10:52:37 pm »

can only agree...

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2006, 10:55:28 pm »

good stuff! number one on the list so far but we'll leave it open for another few days just in case someone else wants to throw an idea in there

ha ha someone might go missing in that bermuda triangle and never be heard of again....

EHM-1001 Robert · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2006, 11:36:47 am »

Why do not you fly westbound, or northbound ? For example to Chicago, or Indianapolis, or such destination...or to Las Vegas, or Groom Lake

.

BTW, I remember a flyin when Bruno disappeared over the LaManche channel, and we had to send a rescue chopper for him

At least he survived

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #19 on:** October 06, 2006, 12:07:01 pm »

ha ha poor Bruno but as you said at least he survived! Las Vegas is a nice idea Robert - i shall put that on the list aswell.So far we have the following suggestions:

1) Bahamas
2) Las Vegas
3) Cuba

we will take two more suggestions to make it five and then have a vote???

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #20 on:** October 06, 2006, 12:11:33 pm »

I vote for Las Vegas! Never landed there.

On routefinder it gives 1500nm ... about 2h30 mins flight.

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #21 on:** October 06, 2006, 12:21:03 pm »

i think we could stretch to 2h30 mins dont you guys? i like the idea of flying over the strip and into KLAS airport myself - i'm torn between Las Vegas and the Bahamas.....

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #22 on:** November 23, 2006, 07:15:06 pm »

since Razza is in charge now - can we open up this discussion space again regarding a fly-in for Atlanta? i'm dying to know what ideas Raz has in store for KATL...

EHM-1343 Jonathan · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2006, 07:37:35 pm »

First I would like to get KATL off the ground, with a strong pilot base, preferably over 10 active pilots, and I would also like to sort out my promotional work...

EHM-1980 Brian · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2006, 08:28:13 pm »

well your nearly there with 7 active pilots at the moment Razza and i'm sure they'll keep on coming to KATL - i mean its a change from the norm aint it??
