Gentlemen,

 

 Homer Kolb has decided to host a Fly-in again this year at his Farm on 

 Saturday, June 16th., Fathers Day Weekend.  He and Clara have enjoyed 

 the other fly-in's we had there and they are looking forward to seeing 

 flying friends and their aircraft again!

 

 For those of you that do not know, Homer's farm is just outside of 

 Spring City, PA near the Schuylkill River, NE of Philadelphia, PA.  

 I hope you can put this on your calendar and make the flight.  

 I guarantee you will enjoy your time there.

 

 Coordinates are:   N    40- 09-36.36

                            W 075-32-46.68"

 

 That same weekend there is a fly-in at Shreveport North in York 

 County which is near Wellsville, PA, from Friday through Sunday.  

 It is a major Ultralight event each year.  They have lodging and 

 food available and some have used it as a stop over on the way to/or 

 from Homer's in the past.  Look it up at: footlightranch.com  

 Some of us camp out over there.

 

 Come back to where it all began for us Kolb flyers!

 

 Terry -  FireFly #95

 

 P's.  Pray for good weather!

Hey Ron,

   if you work at it full time you could still it make it.

You could probably win the prize to the newest Kolb plane there.

I'm looking for the best turnout for the event yet. (weather  

cooperating of course).

I am pecking at it every day. today I did that which I was loath to          do,, cut the cage for the new parallel bar mount. I am now waiting on          Aircraft Spruce to deliver (Monday) two 36 inch 1x1.75 4130 tubes. If          anyone wants the old mount and so on make me an offer, its about a .25          inch shorter otherwise it can be used for a Rotax bed. I am not making          any dead lines just going at it as much as I can stand. The big thing          will be assembling that Suzuki and getting it to run. If that can be          done then I will be pretty close to a fleeting happy moment.

Thanks for the heads up. I've conferred with Bob Bean and we decided we are flying down to Homer's place for sure, if weather permits. The coordinates of his place were given in an earlier post. His airport ID is 43PA which can be found at airnav.com 



I hope I finally get to meet some of your Kolbers this year.

Dana,

I can't answer that directly but that same weekend there is a fly-in  

at Shreveport North in York

County which is near Wellsville, PA, from Friday through Sunday.

It is a major Ultralight event each year. They have lodging and

food available and some have used it as a stop over on the way to/or

from Homer's in the past. Look it up at: footlightranch.com

Even some of the local guys camp out  there and fly from there to  

Homer's place. Most of the PA kolb guys will attend both fly-ins.

I would recommend that option if you are planing to fly.

If you will be driving,  perhaps Terry will find out and can answer  

your question better than I can,  but I do know we want  to be  

careful not  to impose too much on our gracious host and his  

beautiful property.

Hmmm, sounds attractive... but Wellsville is another 100 miles in the wrong 

direction (from CT).  If I can attend, I'd be trailering my Ultrastar to 

PA... not gonna fly it that far until I have lots more time on it than I 

will by then.

Dana,

I'm sure that Homer and Clara would not turn you down, but Im reluctant 

to ask them.  They already go way out of their way to accommodate us and 

feed us.  This would mean additional concern on their part as to having 

facilities available, such as rest rooms.  I know Shreveport North is in 

the other direction, 77 miles by air, but they are set up for camping 

and even have lodge rooms for rent.  I think you would enjoy your time 

there as well.

I will ask Homer about camping at their farm and get back to you,

 Would it be OK for those of us who are "between"  Kolbs to fly in on a cycle?

Ok,

The flight to Homer's place from Wellsville can be made in several   

hops from strips along the way. What is your fuel capacity?

There would likely be several guys willing to escort you . Do you  

have a radio?

Gene:



I flew from Homer's to Wellsville, then on west to that UL strip out 

near Johnstown in Jun 1993.  Was a beautiful flight all the way out 

and back.  IIRC plenty forced landing areas if needed.



I did stop at one airport, can not remember the name, between 

Wellsville and Homer's for fuel but the FBO was closed, late Sunday 

evening.  Squeezed the rest of the miles out of what was left in the 

tank while maintaining about 3,000 feet AGL.  Homer's strip snuck up 

on me and I was over the threshhold at 3,000 feet AGL and sundown or a 

little after.  Head lights were on the cars at the road on the west 

end of Homer's strip.  How does a good Kolb pilot lose a lot of 

altitude quit?  Push the nose over nearly vertical and spiral down to 

approach altitude.  I did just that, landing to the east.  By the time 

I taxied to the hanger every law enforcement officer, rescue squad, 

and news reporter was at Homer's hanger and running up and down the 

airstrip looking for the airplane that had just crashed.  hehehe



Somebody saw me spiral to land and called 911 to report an airplane 

crash.

John,



  I heard you were not  the only "nut of distinction" to land  on  

that strip years ago.  



Let's not attract  every law enforcement officer, rescue squad, and  

news reporter to Homer's hanger

this year.

I know Homer and Clara are older now then they were back then but   

they seem to be in good health  and they do not appear to need  

another stress test just yet. Ok?

I don't have a radio (yet,  gotta get a handheld).  I'm just a little 

concerned about a long flight in front of a Cuyuna until I get some 

familiarity with it.  The flight otherwise doesn't concern me, I've made 

much longer XC flights... though southwestern CT has a dearth of ultralight 

friendly airports.



Still not sure at this point if I even have the time.

Dana,

 

 Talking to Chuck Davis and he had a good idea for you to be able to camp over at Smoketown airport.  You could pull your trailer right next to Chucks hanger which is on the end and out of the way.  I know you could also camp out there as well.  Steve Green camped there last year when he flew up here from Tennessee last summer.  Smoketown is only 35 miles from Homer's and you could join the rest of us for our mass flight to Homer's that morning!  Later you could also join us in a flight over to Shreveport North if you would be interested.

 

 Let me know if this sounds interesting and I will speak to the owner of the airport about you staying there.  He's a real nice guy!

 I would like to  overnight at Smoketown for the gathering at Homer's.  It's a great airport  three resturants within walking distance and plenty of Kolb owners  nearby!!
