U.S. Europaphiles,



I'm afraid that we must cancel our trip to the U.S. Europa Fly-In at Rough River.  



The weather refuses to cooperate.  We have had over 2 weeks of solid IFR here in North Texas and it's not going to improve before Sunday.

I have been unable to fly The Little Dragon Lady at all so it's still at 15 hours.  I was going to rent a DA-20 or Remos from the local flight school 

but the weather between here and 2I3 is forecast to be IFR through Sunday.  



My best regards to all who make it.  We hope to see you at KOSH and other fly-in gatherings over the next year.



Check six,

Bob and all,

We are in the same boat... literally. We've had 4 inches of rain in the 

last 24 hours and more to come all weekend. I believe we're the closest 

to Rough River and this front isn't going anywhere.  There is rain 

forecast and IFR all weekend into next week here. I will be driving up 

but I doubt there could be anyone flying in by the forecast I'm 

getting. Dare we consider canceling and trying for another soon to be 

nice weekend. I'm sure the fly-in / drive in attendance will be low 

because of this weather.

Jeff and all,

Looks like Mary and I may have to cancel, too.  Might be able to thread 

our way in, but Sunday looks really bad.  Gonna miss the crowd, but 

there's always next year...

At this point my plans are to drive up Saturday AM. I don't know who  

all is driving in or attempting flying in. If we could change things  

for better flying weather I would vote for that but it may be too late.  

Has anyone called the resort to see if it's possible for credit? I  

would think there would be rooms available as the season winds down. If  

not I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday and a few beers  

Saturday night.

Regards,



Jeff R.

Hi All,



Well I have just finished watching the 10.00pm edition of the Weather

Channel and it doesn't look too great.  I had planned on flying down

in a rented Cherokee, but I am not prepared to fly an un familiar

aircraft IFR.  I'll check the TAF's tomorrow.



I don't really want to call the event off, after all , for the people

driving in I can think of worse things to do than sitting around

drinking beer  with a bunch of people and telling lies about

airplanes.



Paul

Gary,



Mary and I have canceled our reservations.  We're socked it, here. 

Don't know of any "official" cancellation of the event, though...
