Unfortunately, this event falls on the same date as my 50th class reunion...a milestone that I do not want to miss. Have a great time everyone, see you next at Muncy.

Thanks again for the hospitality Jim, will miss you at LASS. I'm going to my 50th high school reunion this Friday!

Unfortunately, work is going to get in the way, I won't be able to make this one. Sorry guys.

The Lancaster sod farm is awesome! Even I can land on the grass there! 😂

Unfortunately, I can’t make that event, but will be attending the Muncy event in September. I’m sure the Lancaster event will be a great time. Have fun, everybody!

Which nearby motels do you fellows recommend?

Thanks

Tow plane update as of 8/14. The LASS club does not have any of their own tow pilots/planes. Many of the usual travelling tow pilots have other travel or vacation plans, so the event will not have the typical tug air force to which we've become accustomed. Here is the current list I could glean from looking at the registrations...

Len - Čmelák w DA150

Steve - Bidule 111 w DA100

Don - Pilatus Porter w DA120

Joey M - AMR 50 w ??
