Hi  All,

  

 I talked to some of  you earlier about doing a Fall Color Tour this week.  Stripes and Cappy  said they were in.  Others are certainly invited.  Several of us were  up on the Blue Ridge on Saturday for the Jackson County "Save the Airport"  Fly-In and the fall colors were spectacular.  The leaves should be at peak  for a few more days.  So, here's the plan:  On Wednesday, October 25,  meet at Rowan County (KRUQ) at 0930, fuel up for $3.30/gallon and depart about  1000 at five minute intervals.  First waypoint is Ashe County (KGEV at  1030) then to Avery County (7A8 at 1046) then to over Blowing Rock to Mountain  Air (2NC0 at 1053) then to Mount Mitchell (N38 52.00 W 82 18.00 at 1055) then to  Rutherford Co (KFQD at 1104), land at Rutherford and have lunch.  Takeoff  about 1230 to Statesville (KSVH at 1248) then to starting point at Rowan County  (KRUQ at 1255).  Route times are based upon 160 KTAS and typical winds for  this season.  Total flying time is 1+30, fuel required is 13.1 gallons  (your mileage may vary).

  

 I will have Flight  Logs with GPS data and current winds for everyone at RUQ.  I provided the  enroute times in this email so anyone can drop into the route at any point if  you don't want to start from Rowan County.  We'll all gather at Rutherford  for lunch, so bring an appetite.  Weather is forecast to be severe clear,  about 45 degrees at 1000 at RUQ and 55 degrees at FQD at 1200, so dress  accordingly.

  

 Why Wednesday?   Winds on Tuesday are breezy and weather and colors tend to fade towards the end  of the week.  Hope to see a bunch of you there.  Email a reply so we  have some idea of how many will attend.  No reservations required.   The air is free and there is no reserved seating at lunch.

  

 Fly  Safe,

Lynnie just got up and told me she has a dentist appointment at 9AM on  Wednesday.  Can we depart RUQ at 12:00 do lunch at FQD and the trip in  reverse.  If not Cappy is still in but without Lynnie.

Never mind, the Dentist appoint is now at 10:30 so Lynnie is out. Cappy is  still in.  Go back to plan A, 9:30 at RUQ.

Oh man what a situation.  I have an AM appointment in the morning till  11:30.  I am free if plans should change from the am route to the afternoon  route.  We could meet at FQD for lunch then on to leaves.

Sounds like a good plan.  We won't be  formating for the tour, so just meet us for lunch and go on from  there.

Right now it looks like those IN are Cappy,  Ben, Dale, Stripes and Smokey.  Would it suit everyone if we moved the  start time back to 1100.  That would put us at lunch after 1230 and give  Stripes a chance to make it for lunch, then do the color tour.  Maybe Mrs  Cappy could make it as well.  Let me know what you think.  I can go  anytime.
