A Journal, with Pictures

Joyce and Rick Daw­son orga­nized and exe­cut­ed a fab­u­lous fly-in for 53 COPA mem­bers fly­ing 23 Cir­rus into KTIX, Titusville, Flori­da for a week­end of social­iz­ing and tour­ing the Kennedy Space Cen­ter. The whole week­end was per­fect­ly orga­nized with atten­tion to every detail. Most flew in Fri­day to arrive for the 5:15 PM bus to the hotel, Four air­planes were delayed by choice or weath­er and arrived Sat­ur­day morn­ing. Upon arrival Joyce and Rick Had goody bags orga­nized for every­one, that includ­ed snacks, water, a ros­ter of all atten­dees, name tags, and a pro­gram for the week­end. We were off to the hotel, to get set­tled. Cir­rus Air­craft spon­sored anoth­er goody bag when we arrived at the hotel so we were loaded with stuff before we took our first tour. That evening the weath­er was a lit­tle cool for Flori­da so we had our bar-b-que din­ner inside after cock­tails. Lots of COPA social­iz­ing and pilot talk before, dur­ing and after dinner.
