Gentlemen,

 

 Just a reminder to mark your calendars for June 16th. to fly to Homer Kolb's farm for a homecoming get together.  If you haven't been there before, I know you will enjoy the hospitality and get a chance to see Clara and Homer's beautiful farm where our aircraft where conceived and manufactured.  Also hanging in the barn are Homer's earliest creations that got all this started.  That is the Sat. of Fathers Day weekend.  There is an ultralight fly-in at Footlight Ranch in York County, PA also known as Shreveport North, near Dillsburg that weekend for three days.  Some of us will be going and camping there Sat. night after the get together at Homer's.  A real good chance to meet many other ultralight pilots and share information.   Hope to see you there.

 

 Will be giving out more information as we get closer to the date,

 

 Terry -  FireFly #95

 

 Those that said they are coming so far:  Add your name if it's not listed.

Terry,  Add me to the list.  I am planning on going to Homer's as well.  Of course it all depends on the weather.  Homer's place was great the last time and the Shreveport's flyin is also fantastic.

Terry, add my name to the list for the  fly-in.

  

 I also wanted to let those who were interested in  the journal I did about my 1,200 foot fall but couldn't read the newspaper  article know that I finally got to enlarging it on my copy machine,  scanning the enlargements and re-doing the journal.  The article is  readable, now, plus I edited my account to where it fits their file  size limitations, so that's there, too.  The web address  is:    journal.rcn.net/davekulp

  

 Larry!!!  Sorry it's taken me so long  to get back to you.  I've embarked on a huge renovation of my pond which  has kept me busy (and shot!!) but I've got some good  Alaska-on-my-Beemer shots for you soon.

Denny, You have to be able to find 2 days.   You should just sell that plane to me.  Or better yet, let me fly it for a couple of years until you can find the time.

Bryan,  it's not far away, but it's not  Homer's place.  He lives on Wall St., which roughly parallels Rt. 724 and  runs from Spring City to Phoenixville between 724 and the Schuylkill  River.

I replied that the property for sale below was near  Homer's but not his place.  Seems I was in error.  Check the thread  below.

 From Gene Zimmerman:

  

 David,

It looks to me like it is Homer's place.



Kolb  Airport 43PA, PA

  

  By golly Gene, I believe you're right.  I  wasn't aware he owned all the way to 724.  If you go to the Google maps  link below you can see his drive coming south off of Wall St. with the lake to  the east of the house.  Since Wall St. is a narrow country road I suppose  they market it from 724 since that's a major thorofare.  I've only ever  driven to his house; if I'd have flown in I would have realized it.

  

 Well, if two or three of us come up with 3 mil we  can have one gorgeous property!

  

 Dave

Actually it belongs to someone else.  The properties are adjoining and it has its own pond too; half the airstrip is on Homer’s property and half is on the one that is for sale.

The b/w image attached shows an aerial of the property (outlined in red) that is actually For Sale.  The color image is from Google Maps, zoomed out to cover the whole of the runway.  I overlayed the (red line) definition of the For Sale part from the b/w image.  The Kolb's place is at the east end of the runway. 



Certainly hope that someone buys this place and keeps it intact.  It would be a great setup for the right person.  



Can't imagine sharing a runway with people nicer than the Kolb family.  



Come to the fly in on June 16 and see for yourself.

Gentlemen,

 

 Just a reminder to mark your calendars for June 16th. to fly to Homer Kolb's farm for a homecoming get together.  If you haven't been there before, I know you will enjoy the hospitality and get a chance to see Clara and Homer's beautiful farm where our aircraft where conceived and manufactured.  Also hanging in the barn are Homer's earliest creations that got all this started.  That is the Sat. of Fathers Day weekend.  There is an ultralight fly-in at Footlight Ranch in York County, PA also known as Shreveport North, near Dillsburg that weekend for three days.  Some of us will be going and camping there Sat. night after the get together at Homer's.  A real good chance to meet many other ultralight pilots and share information.   Arrive in the morning and leave when you have to, but not before the "fine picnic" that Clara and family provides for us!  I will be meeting any and all that want to fly with me as a group at "Smoketown Airport" that morning with the idea of lift off at 8:30 am.   Hope to see you there!!

 

 Co-ordinates:         N 40 deg 09' 36.3"            Also you can check, Airnav.com for more information.

                             W 075 deg 32' 46.6"

 

 

 

 Those that said they are coming so far:  "Add your name if it's not listed".  In another week or so I have to let clara and Homer know how many are coming so they can prepare for us.

Gentlemen,

 

 It's time to get a count of how many are planing on coming to Clara & Homer Kolb's Father's Day Fly-in on Saturday June 16th.  I need to let them know how many are coming so that they may prepare for the group.  If you name isn't already on the list, please add it or let me know in the next couple of days.   Also, if your name is on the list, but you now find you can't make it, let me know!  Hope to see many of you there!

 

 For those flying there:

 Co-ordinates:         N 40 deg 09' 36.3"            Also you can check, Airnav.com for more information.

                             W 075 deg 32' 46.6"

 

 John Hauck gave the address for those driving there, so you should be able to look it up on a mapping program.

Gentlemen,

 

 I will be at Smoketown Airport at 8:30 am on Sat. the 16th. to form up a group of flyers to make the flight to Homer's farm.  It makes an impressive event to have a group of Kolb's all come at the same time as we did in the past.  Anyone wishing to join us, please do so!

 

 Looking forward to another great day of flying and meeting fellow Kolb pilots and of course spending time with Clara and Homer.

 

 See you then,

      Approx. what time are you getting to the Kolb's? I will be driving up from Maryland. Thanks for keeping us all informed and helping make this all possible! Also do you have an idea if there is any food item I could bring to add to the spread?

Rick,
	




We will probably arrive around 9:30 or so, tough to get everybody 

moving!   No need to bring anything, Clara & Homer have it all taken 

care of.  See you there.
