Ladies & Gentlemen,

  

 I know that September 18-21 seems a long way  ahead but, believe me, it will be upon us all in next to no time.

  

 It certainly isn't too early to  consider ways "we" can help Capt. JimBob in ensuring that the 60th  Anniversary event will be the best-attended one ever. The nature of the occasion certainly means that it ought to  be.

  

 Firstly, one way to help will be by word of  mouth.

 If you have another Commander owner on your  airport, or one known of nearby, surely it cannot be too much trouble to find  the owner and talk to him about the Flight Group and the event.

 Of course, it will be best to have full details  of Membership and fees etc. to hand, but they're not then the lead can be  followed-up.

  

 Secondly, when I visit the FAA Records Center  after the Fly-In each year, one thing I do to up-date my database, is  to record details of the Commanders that have changed hands since my  previous visit.

 This includes any telephone or other contact  details that may be in the FAA paperwork.

 Therefore, if anybody is willing to make some  telephone calls, I can 'pull' any records from my database for any given State,  where I have a Telephone number.

 Included in what I send will be the aircraft  Serial Number; 'N' number and the date they acquired their  Commander.

 Enough detail to let the Owner know that we do  know something about them and they are important!

 Of course, there is always the chance that the  person you phone knows about the event already, but it gives you both a chance  to chat about Commanders anyway, so the call isn't wasted!

  

 Thirdly, I hope Nico is "listening", as the  "aerocommander.com" website needs to trumpet the event, LOUDLY and in  no uncertain fashion.

 Necessary details ought to be on the 'front  page' without the need to click to a link.

 Then, there could be a link to the "nitty-gritty"  details.

 (Nico: on the front page, "entusiasts" needs  amending to "enthusiasts").

  

 Lastly, I think we ought to try and get some  media coverage to publish the event.

 I have made a very rough draft of a News Item  that "we" could submit to various magazines etc.

 What I'm not sure of though are the best places  to approach.

 I'm sure you will all know which sources are more  likely to be read by Commander owners.

  

 I'm sure that Capt JimBob will be busy enough  already and will welcome help in making this event a truly memorable  one.

 I'm sure that nobody truly understands what goes  on, months in advance, to make these Fly-Ins happen, so if we can all "do our  bit" to help, we will all benefit at the end of the day.

  

 Any comments or other ideas will be welcome  !!

  

 Very Best Regards,

 Barry

Hello Barry,

  

 Please send me the information on owners in the  states of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. I would be happy to  contact the owners and encourage them to attend.

  

 Thanks for all you do!!

Hi Myron,

  

 That's really great - thanks!

  

 I was hoping that no long-distance calls would be  needed, but if you sure, then I'll get a file  sent off to you tomorrow.

  

 Hope your young co-pilot is well and still  learning!

  

 Very Best Regards,

 Barry

Barry, send me the Texas owners or any others for that matter, I have unlimited long distance. Has the hotel been set yet or did I miss it?

Hi Jim,

  

 Sincere and grateful thanks, on behalf of us  all.

  

 I'll get a file to you tomorrow that will cover  owners in Texas, where I have a 'phone number.

  

 There may yet be others who offer help with other  States, but when the dust has settled, I can always get further ones to  you.

  

  If arm-twisting to join the Group and attend the  Fly-In doesn't produce results, then threaten them with puncturing their fuel  sump.

 Apologies for using the "S" word, but it should  do the trick 

  

  John Towner has reminded me that access to the  good Vendors List is worth the membership fee alone, so this could be a good  point to mention.

  

 I don't think the hotel has been announced  yet.

 I expect JimBob is waiting to get a clearer  picture on numbers of rooms needed.

  

 Sincere Best Regards,

 Barry

Hi Gil,

  

 We are all most grateful to you for helping and  I'll get a list to you later on.

  

 To all the volunteers:

 Each Monday, circa 3pm here, I get an up-date  from an Air-Britain member on any changes that have been made to the FAA  Register.

 Therefore, I will process the changes for last  week as soon as I can after receipt of the file.

 I will then make the necessary extracts and get  the files off straight away.

  

 A change to the plan is proposed, which you can  of course ignore!

 I'll send all the owners from the States you have  volunteered for.

 Then, if there are any where I haven't got a  'phone number, but the name "jumps out at you" and you can find a number in your  phone directory, then all well & good.

 In such cases, if you could then advise them to  me I will suitably up-date my Owners Database.

  

 Again, sincere and grateful thanks to you  all.

  

 Very Best Regards,

 Barry

Nico was listening. See if what I have done is sufficient.  Let me know if any changes are  necessary. As more information becomes  available, I will make the text clickable and open a separate page with all the  info and perhaps an application which I will then automatically send off to the  organizing committee.

 Thanks
