Gee Robin - you sure you don't work for the Texas Tourism Authority? Having
read your spiel, I'm almost ready to emigrate!  (.sounds very much like down
here.). 

Just had a look at a Google map and the main web sites on San Antonio.
certainly wont be a small town camp out

Just how far in advance are you blokes looking to hold this event?

Greg in Sydney.

    Thank you Scott!  I didn't think anybody was ever going to wake up to
the potential of the Texas Fly-In :-)  We've got Texas size airport
facilities, San Antonio is known for their expertise in convention
hospitality, we've got Sea World, Fiesta Texas, The River Walk, the Mission
Trail for history and photography buffs (the missions are one of the most
coveted locations for professional photographers worldwide), the list of
attractions is very long.  --  And of course there's the food!  Few cities
in the country can begin to match our food chain.  And if you get homesick
for the coast it's less than a two hour drive to Corpus Christi and Padre
Island.

    Also...  Our flying weather is perhaps the best in the United States. --
Low rainfall, warm temperatures, gentle winds; there's a reason the Air
Force had so many bases here.  And we are virtually unaffected by tropical
storms (I'm reluctant to use the "hurricane" word after this last season,
but we didn't get a drop, or even any harsh winds.)  With all the great
facilities San Antonio has to offer, I've often wondered why Velocity hasn't
picked up and moved their factory here by now.  ...................  Think
it over :-)

 

Robin

Additional thoughts ...

No need to make this a "come by airliner" affair entirely.  Why not coincide
the Velocity program with an EAA regional fly-in (SWRegional in San Antonio,
TX is one idea) or AOPA Expo 2006 Palm Springs type of event?

Velocity, Inc. will gladly pitch-in with some financial support.

Sounds like fun.

Pick a location that non-aviation loving spouses will enjoy.

Yes, 'tis fun.  This leads to a sense of community.and a VERY crazy idea.now
that we see where most everybody lives.

 

It's been done before for various events, but.

 

Anyone interested in an official Reflector "Drive-in" for builders, perhaps
in a year?  We could all meet centrally in the U.S (fly in commercially) for
a weekend of fun and sharing, Friday noon through Sunday at 3:00. Perhaps
some could bring photos and make formal presentations, with discussions of
mods, things learned, etc.  Something like a scientific convention, a
sharing of latest findings.  Scott Baker, you'd be invited to join us as the
factory tech rep.

 

No, I'm not the guy to put it together. Someone else would be better
talented.  Can't be that hard.Ramada in KS, meeting room, a few meals, AV
equipment.What say you all?  Any interest?

This is pretty cool - every time I look at the Frapper map I see a few more
Velocitites!

Dear Collective,

 

I just created a "Frapper" map for Velocity owners and builders.  If'n you
don't know what Frapper is yet, it is a map that will allow users to add
themselves and give a visual representation of that persons general world
location.  You may also place a picture and brief description of yourself
and/or project.  I am already on two other Frapper maps and have suffered no
known ill consequences.  (yeah, you do need to register so I imagine you are
once again being tracked for marketing purposes by someone....so it goes).

 

I find the other two very interesting to monitor.  I am currently on the
Frapper Rotary engine list and the CanardAviator list.

 

To add yourself please to go to http://www.frappr.com/velocity.  It is free
and very easy.  I hope to see y'all there.

 

All the best,

 

Chris
