Fellow Kolbers:
My flying club, the Greater Thumb Ultralight Flyers (GTUF), is again
planning for a Fall Tour. The event is planned for Saturday, Sep 16. This is
a cross-country event to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather. A ground crew
provides auto gas at every stop and a motor home with trailer provides
support in the event of a distressed aircraft.
We've shortened the route some this year to allow/encourage some pilots with
slower airplanes to join in. The tour will start and end at Frankenmuth, MI
consisting of a more-or-less rectangular path around Saginaw with a stop at
a cider mill for lunch. Yes, they do have a runway there. 
If you're interested in joining us, please go to this website:
http://www.staliteaviation.com/gtuf/gtuf_menu.html
There you'll find a description of the route, route maps, registration
forms, and operating guidelines. The 'official' registration deadline was
today, but we will continue to accept registrations from those who are truly
interested.
As an enticement to anyone who might be on the fence, we've arranged for a
'47 Luscombe to escort the flight to take air-to-air photos of the
participants. The club will compile the photographs into a CD available a
few weeks after the Tour. There is a fee to participate in the Tour to cover
the cost of our ground support vehicles. But the air-to-air photography is
FREE! To see an example, this website shows pictures of me and my Mark II
taken during last year's Tour:
