RE: Tecumseh NE 5-7 October
Hey Mike
No pic's but might get some later this week. Basically the runway and ramp were milled down and a 6 inch cap was pored over. They also extended the ramp to the north and added a taxi way to the north end of the runway from the hangars. The grass areas around the hangars are now all concrete. There will be new taxi way and runway lights installed this week. The company doing the work did a nice job of leveling things out and getting runoff to flow away from the hangars and runway. it is a noticeable improvement to us and looks allot different than before.
We're just putting out the word for a little get together 5-7 October. We have kicked around changing the dates, may do that for next year it just depends on who is all involved next year and how the group wants to proceed. My personal feelings are the Aug justs dates are kind of set now for MVJS as next year will be the 9th year out of 10 (2007 cancelled because of the new runway) but later in the fall could be a possibility now that Superman is not happening.
Weather is another factor, typically yes its hot but rain is less likely in Nebraska in August that would last 3 days. Mostly it is thunderstorms late in the afternoon into the night. October you can have extended periods of rain that would wash out the weekend. October can be the best flying weather too, its a crap shoot and we will certainly be talking about dates so more to come on that.
Hope to see you in a couple of weeks.
