Yep, not looking 100% but I am hoping for a Saturday AM window of "goodness". It does seem to rain here a lot.

As to the Alfas & Airplanes this Saturday: After breakfast, what's the usual goings on? End time? Items to bring? Thanks.

all you guys in northern alabama,

picked up new alfa yesterday in Fla. trying to bring home to Tn. when I hit Hwy 72 there are Tornadoes north and we fled east into Huntsville proper to outrun the storm with me hauling new car on open flat bed.

Quite a storm, but no casualties on my part. Wish I could be there, but road weary at this point.

71 spider to be displayed in photo section soon, we call her "The Beauty"

Jim Isaacs I know you were there if I needed you

Jerry you are welcome anytime!
Bill the word is burgers and beverages are this Saturday after the drive and airplane droolings, so bring an Alfa, a companion and swimsuits if you wish

Another good time!
Here are a few pictures. Sorry I didn't get everyone's cars. We kind of got split up at the parking area. First picture is Bill's 164L on the left and my 164S on the right. We also had Stan's and Chuck's GTV-6's, Jim's Milano Verde, and Ken's BMW Z3 on the tour from Big Ed's to Moontown.

Second pic is the flightline at Moontown. Name your favorite, it was probably there. Mine as the Lake Amphibian that took off just as we got there. Had me scrambling for the camera but it was too fast for me.

After the Alfas and Airplanes we had Alfa's, swimming, and cookout at Ken and Kim's place. I have a new color, my shoulders and face are are now Alfa Rosso. Anyway, at Ken and Kim's place we see my 164S, Bill's 164L, and Jim's gorgeous Milano Verde (just out of reset) in the third pic. Later on, Chuck showed up in his GTV-6 and Kevin brought out is 911 Porsche.

Fourth picture, some of the action at the pool!
Point to Team La Voce!

Last picture, my signature dessert!

Let's do this again!

Did I miss the Alfa group at Big Ed's yesterday?

Bll no doubt it snuck up on everyone! I was up on the mountain near Mentone at BSA summer camp all this week and just got home.

A light rain slowed us down a bit as we started out but just as forecast, the rain stopped as we drove and at arrival the event weather was perfect, cool (well, for August in Alabama) and no sun beating down upon us. Breakfast was very good- those scratch biscuits, wow

. The high speed low pass by that beautiful polished aluminum Warbird really made it memorable. No worries about your son, the Force is strong in that one. If he can be turned, he could be a powerful alfista. Here's some pictures, starting with the gathering at Big Ed's, the cars climbing the mountain, a couple shots of us parked in front of the hangar, and that beautiful P-51 Mustang blowing past a classic yellow Piper Cub parked on the side of the grass strip at over 200 mph. It doesn't get much better than this.
See you next month.

I think we have another Alfa date with airplanes and biscuits and gravy this Saturday, 18 July. Bicuits and gravy, way better than biscuits and mustard. I will try to be there but I am not sure when the movers are arriving at the house in TX to pack us out. So I may see you all at Big Ed's parking lot before 0800 Saturday, or I may be back in TX. Look for me if you see me there. I'll be the one in the Alfa. One of many I hope.

It's that time again, and this month is the big annual fly in, free rides for the kids, live music, food kiosks, a warbird or two, lots of experimental and home builts. An all day event Saturday and most of Sunday, as opposed to the usual Saturday morning only participation by the local pilots. I can't make it Saturday as I have a Scouting event conflict but I will be there Sunday morning!
