It's FLYIN TIME!!!!!
Time to crank em up and point the spinners, or grills, towards the central
US, just south of Lexington KY!!
The 4th. annual Richmond, Madison Flyin is sch. for Feb. 24th. (last
Saturday in February). Since this if now th 4th., many people have said it
needs a name..............thus "The Kickoff".
We have had as many as 86+ RV's here and over 100 total airplanes in the
past couple years. Now this is not a vendors, forum flyin. We stand
around, walk around scratching out behinds, telling lies and looking at RVs,
while visiting old friends. Course I have already lined up two Hooters
girls to be present to serve a variety of Hooters Hot Wings. The local EAA
will also be there serving other grilled foods.......................NO
$3.00 hot dogs. Course why in the world you want a hot dog when you could
be served hot wings by the Hooter Girls.........got me:-)
Be extremely careful, as there are typically a lot of airplanes operating in
uncontrolled airspace. Keep your head on a swivel as you will hear, "flight
of two on 45 degree entry", "flight of three with flight of two in sight",
"experimental on short final". No fire trucks to respond slowly will be
present. With that said, we have a great time. Keep in mind, this is
"organized" by Elaine and I along with my youngest son and his best friend
who direct you at the taxiway to the ramp or taxiway. That is truly it, no
committees, no discussion sessions, we are it, so be patient and
understanding.
I am lining up a variety of door prizes. In the past I have been able to
give away total AnyWhere Map software, tools from Cleveland and Avery,
canopy covers, Kitlog, post lights......the list goes on. If any vendors
are out there and want to donate, please send me an email. I'll start
posting contributors shortly.
I have had pilots fly in from PN, FL, MP, MI and all points in between. We
have had people actually drive in from Michigan to see RV's. We fly and lie
here so fly em or drive em, we have a good time:-)
Start time Light 30, quiting time Dark 30.

Direction for driving to the airport, (lots of people are driving in)
Off I-75, take exit 77 (KY route 595) and turn west. Go about 200 yards and
make a right between the BP Station and the Shell Station. Go exactly 2.0
miles and make a right onto Madison County Airport Road. The airport road
will take you directly to my hangar (Matter of fact someone kept going
straight once and drove into the hangar, pushing the 172 out the back thus
requiring the subsequent purchase of the Bonanza……that’s a different story).
Anyone wanting to stay over close to the airport, there is a Holiday Inn
Express behind the BP and a Days Inn (I think that’s it) at the exit ramp.
The airport is about 15 miles from my house/shop.
Here is a list of the better motels within 10 minutes of my house/shop.
