Please join us at the West Coast Europa Fly-In, the weekend of June 12 – 14, in McMinnville, OR (KMMV).
Plan to arrive Friday, where we’ll hang out at the FBO (Cirrus Aviation), admire everyone’s Europa, and have a chance to meet and chat.
We’ve arranged for discounted tickets to both the Evergreen Museum and the indoor water park http://evergreenmuseum.org/ which features a 747 on the rooftop with waterslides out each of the four exits of the aircraft down to the pool. Supposed to be very cool! It probably makes the most sense to do that Saturday, since they estimate 3 hours for the aviation museum, 2 hours for the space museum & as much water time as you can handle. The water park also has educational exhibits and several pools. Standard fees are $25 for the museums ($24 senior rate) and $32 for the water park, and these are discounted to $18 & $22 ($40 for both) if we have at least 15 people.
We’ll have a catered BBQ dinner Saturday at the airport.
Other options for activities in the area include visiting the town of McMinnville, touring Williamette Valley wine country and visiting the Oregon shoreline.
The FBO has reserved a block of rooms at the nearby Comfort Inn, at a better rate than we could get individually. We will rent a vehicle so we can shuttle people back and forth, and the Museum also operates a shuttle both to the airport and the hotel.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested.
Please contact us at butcher43(at)att.net as soon as possible if you plan (or even just hope) to attend so we have preliminary numbers to share with the FBO, hotel, caterer and museum.
We'll flesh out the details, including reservation information, as we have them. Looking forward to seeing you!

We mailed about 100 postcards announcing the fly in to owners on the West Coast on Wednesday 5/20, so they should be arriving shortly. At this point, we have 8 people and 5 planes planning to attend. Hopefully more later this week, we'll keep updating this thread as we get more information.

Hotel information for McMinnville - Dora at Cirrus Aviation has a block of 8 rooms reserved for us. Call the Comfort Inn at 503-472-1700 and mention Cirrus Aviation for the special rate of $101.15 plus tax.
We will have an SUV for extra transportation (the hotel is less than 2 miles away & the museum has a shuttle). Dora said that if anyone else would like a car, call her at Cirrus at 503-472-0558 and she will take care of it for you.
The museum has great group rates, but we need to purchase tickets in advance, so please let us know by Wednesday, June 3rd if you want museum / water park or both.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Jim, Heather and all going to McMinnville.
Have a great time and lets hope the weather for you is better than for our
airshow this weekend.
Steve and all the UK members of the Europa Club
PS Jim - thanks for the photos and articles.

Getting more responses, looks like we may have 15 people and 8 Europas attending at least some portion of the weekend!
Jerry Rehn let us know that the museum is free to EAA members (1 member & 1 guest) who live at least 90 miles away, so we won't need to do a group admission.
The BBQ will be in the hangar at Cirrus Aviation Saturday and is only $10 + 15% tip + tax. They don't need a firm number until the day before.
Discounted rooms are still available at Comfort Inn. The block expires June 10th.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Jethro has never been to Oregon before
