Mar 2011 Anybody going to OK18 Taildragger Fly-in in Oklahoma?
Gals, I don’t normally put these invitations on the Home page but we all might want to seriously consider meeting at this fly-in. I’ve never been but Diana Votaw (Sport Cub) says “absolutely fabulous flyin- wonderful group of people, fabulous hosts, great time”. Â Leave your comments and we’ll see who might be able to get there!!
I got a note from Bill Tracy saying he talked to Mike Sizemore (owner OK18) Â and the lady taildraggers have a special invitation to this grass strip flyin! What a great event to kick off our summer flying. Anyone already planning on going? Seems like a nice spot for a bunch of us to meet up!
OK18 Taildragger Fly-in
OK18 Grande Isle Airport, Adair, Oklahoma
May 26 thru the 29, 2011
Hosted by Mike & Patty Sizemore
Camping, Barbecue, Poker run, and lots of flying!
Word is, they’re going to have a special camping spot for the lady taildraggers!
Poker Run:
Everyone will all leave OK18 Sat morning and meet at Ketchum airport 1K8 for fuel, breakfast, short field demonstration and Poker Run briefing.
1st stop is Mel & Don Amos Cherokee Strip 1AR5 near Siloam Springs – I need to OK this with Don & Mel. (Ladies, this is home of lady taildragger pilot Melanie Amos!!)
2nd stop is Cookson 44M where when we land will be a Spot Landing contest and they will have lunch for us, they have fuel available.
3rd stop is Whitehorn Cove OL20
4th stop is Clu & Buster Colvin’s Stearmans Roost 50K3
Then we do a touch and go at Ketchum airport to add activity to their Air
Fest Day, or we may make this the 5th stop for the 5th card
Then back to OK18

I’m planning on flying my new Rans over and hope to get there Friday; Saturday if I get hung up in Indy. Sure hope to see lots of other lady taildraggers there – what a great opportunity for us all!!

Sounds like a fun time… but I’ll bet the price of gas and dodging thunderstorms will keep me from venturing out there with the Waco! 🙁 I hope you all get a group together and have a blast!!
Cheers!
