Kolb List members,

 

 I've been in contact with Clara and Homer Kolb and they have agreed to again host a fly-in at their farm which is outside of Spring City, PA, the birth place of our fantastic flying machines.  It will be held on June 14th,, Father's Day weekend as usual.  Arrive in the morning and be there by noon for the gathering of pilots and the picnic they most generously provide for us.  It's a great time to meet the Kolb family and other pilots that fly in from various locations.  The "Barn" contains many of Homer's early designs to take to the air.  Also you can see his tractor collection.

 

 Many of us gather at Smoketown Airport east of Lancaster City, Lancaster County, PA that morning to make up a flight to go to their farm, come join us.  Makes an impressive sight with ten or more planes arriving together, Homer always enjoys that.  Will update on plans as we get close to the time.  Having been well fed and sharing stories and ideas with the other pilots, most of us leave in the afternoon to fly to an Ultralight Fly-in at "Shreveport North" in York County, Pa where we camp out.  That fly-in starts on Friday 13th. before Homer's and lasts through Sunday 15th..  Some have used this fly-in as a stopover from out of state to go the Homer's.  Camping is permitted with good food available.  It's scheduled again this year, but check in closer to the date.  

 

 Those that have attended before will tell you what a great time was had and what good people the Kolb's are.  Those that haven't made it before should try this year.  You get to meet some really interesting individuals that fly or drive in.  

 

 This is not an event that is scheduled to continue as an annual activity, but at the pleasure and convenience of Clara, Homer and their family.  We already skipped one year because they had other plans.  

 

 The Kolb private airstrip is shown on both the New York and Washington sectionals located northwest of Philadelphia just outside the Phila. B ring along the Schuylkill River.  You can also look it up on AirNav.com. 

 Hope you put this on your calender to do and I get to see you there again or for the first time!

Hi Terry:

  

 Thanks for the info and the work you volunteer to  get this flyin coordinated.

  

 I have been to Homer's flyin and had a great  time.

  

 This year, I plan to fly up, as well as John W from  Texas and Steven G from Tennessee.

  

 Look forward to seeing all the guys and gals from  that part of our country.

 Is anybody flying down from south NY or north NJ?  I'd love to meet up at Smoketown and/or go to Shreveport afterwards but that's too far in the wrong direction for me (I'm in CT).  As it is I'll most likely trailer my plane all the way to Homer's.  I assume there's no camping at Homer's?

 You may camp at Homer's.  Several of us flying  up from the South and West will be camping there.

 Dana,

 

 Scott Olendorf, a member of this list has flown down several times from upper NY state.  I think he will be done with his recovering by then, might want to talk to him.  He has also flown to Shreveport North several times.

 Cool, that makes things easier.  I thought I remembered from last year (never got the plane ready in time) that nobody was camping there.  I'll be driving down in the morning from my NY cabin but the long return trip in the evening after a long day outdoors and flying is always a drag.  Fortunately with the US there's plenty of room to sack out below the tail boom when the plane's in the trailer.

 Dana,

 

 Hold your horses!!  John was speaking off the cuff.  Neither he nor I have talked to Homer about a group camping there.  When we set this up it was to be as least intrusive as possible.  They already go out of their way hosting this and providing us with a picnic lunch.  Please wait until either John or I have a chance to approach Homer with this idea.

 

 That is why last year I didn't promote the idea and provided alternatives for camping.  John has a lot of history with Homer and his relationship goes way back and I'm sure he is welcome there any time.  I don't think it is proper for the rest of us to presume!  I will keep the list informed.

 OK, I will hold any plans... or rather, plan on returning home that night unless I hear otherwise.
