Give me a call, 615-390-2228

I have purchased an enclosed 38' gooseneck trailer, and it is in Columbia SC at the Fire Academy. I am "seriously" considering coming to take delivery on Friday, May 5th. If it works out to do this, what kind of ground support is available at the Spring Fling for any issues; ie: tires, wiring, lighting, brakes. Is there a Tire repair shop to mount and balance 6 tires for me? If we spend Friday night, what are hotel accomadations in the area, etc?

 

[ultracruiser41]

Plenty of room for any trailers/campers/tents.
Power available from the hangar.
Come on over....you won't be disappointed!!!

David ,
there's a auto parts store in Wadesboro and as far as tire service our company uses Blacks Tire Service on hiway 74 in Monroe NC. Which isn't too far from Wadesboro .
some folks have stayed in a motel in Wadesboro but I'm not sure where they got a room but said it was ok. Probably was the Days Inn. The nicer motels will most likely be in Monroe .

 

[Gyro28866]

Well it looks like I will be there Friday afternoon. I found Wadesboro Tire and spoke to them, seem like nice folk and to mount & balance a tire is only $15. That is cheap enough, considering I will have 6 to do.
I found the EXECUTIVE INN (which used to be Days Inn) in Wadesboro. The room rate for 2 beds is $67.xx plus taxes. reasonable enough. So I made reservations for Friday night.
EXECUTIVE INN - 704-694-7070

One of PRA 31 newest members will be there from Jillian CA. a historic San Diego mountain old time gold town. Chuck Tucker.

A tax attorney called PRA asking for our IRS ID #. He said he was looking for it online and saw your Fly-in listed and that he drive his motorcycle down and check you guys out.

Also I sent another batch email only two days ago and 3 more are coming that have contacted us from the last emailing.

PARTY ON!!!

I am at work this morning wishing I was sitting in the Barnstormer hanger watching the rain while waiting to go flying once it clears. Unfortunately for this weekend and for about 18 more months before I retire from active duty in the Army supporting the Army Reserve, the first weekend of the month almost always requires my attendance supporting my Army Reserve unit.

Trell Norton should be on the ground there already and a few more of the Peach State guys, should arrive later today or tomorrow. Have fun!!

I really appreciate the hospitality the Carolina Barnstormers extended to me during my brief visit yesterday. A first class group of gyro pilots. Love the Wilga and Ryan Barry. Round engines rule. Thanks again.
