Looks as if the Backcountry Pilot group punted on a fly in this year.

We are looking at Johnson creek again as a base for playing in the back country. Probably last week in June before July 4th crowds.

I think the Supercub group shows up the weekend before.

JC is my favorite place. I'm in if possible.

Are you guys implying that us West of the Mississippi guys should organize a Maule pilots gathering somewhere in Idaho?

We won't call it a fly-in!! That BCP debate on the matter made my head spin.

Lets think on this and throw some ideas around.

If a group of friends decide to camp together, I don't see the harm.

BCP had over 100 planes last time it was at JC and I can see the Idaho Aviation dept's issue with two 100+ plane fly ins on succeeding weekends. It really beats up the facility.

Last year we went the week ending on July 4th and there was a lot of people there but nowhere near 100 planes.

Going much later starts putting you into fire season. I don't know what the snow pack is in ID, but if it is anything like the Central Cascades it is going to be really dry.

Cheers,

Tom
