Fellow Sonex Builders, Pilots and Friends,

I'm pleased to announce the second-annual "Sonex Mile-High Fly-In"! Please come join builders and pilots from all across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region for an afternoon of camaraderie and information sharing.

The event will be held near Colorado Springs, CO, at Meadowlake Airport (KFLY), June 13, 2015. Fly-in's and Drive-in are welcome! Arrivals will start around 8:00 am, and the programs at 10:00am. We'll have burgers and dogs on the BBQ for lunch.

The presentations will be informal and interactive, allowing current builders and pilots the chance to pass along what they've learned to others. Some of the topics will include "Cowling Modifications", "AeroVee Assembly and Rebuild", "Jabiru FWF Installation Tips" and a review of the plans and building process.

Several of our local pilots plan to give "Sonex Smile Rides" as a way to show off the attraction of a Sonex and to hook future builders!

Meadowlake Airport is situated south of Denver's airspace and at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. It's easy to get in and out, and makes a great destination. If you plan to stay overnight, accommodations are close by and dry camping is available on the field.

Come out and support the Colorado Sonex Mile-High Club and make some new friends in the process! I look forward to a great turnout.

When I read the title of this thread a weird thought crossed my mind...."Join the Mile High Club in a Sonex" ;)

Fellow Sonex builders and pilots,

Due to an unsolvable scheduling conflict, we've had to move the date for the Mile High Fly-in. The new date is now May 16, 2015, while the location and all other details remain the same. I hope this won't preclude anyone from joining us, and I look forward to seeing you all here!

It would definitely give new meaning to "Sonex Smile Ride" :shock:
