EAA Chapter 168 will be organizing a fall camping event again this year in conjunction with the 24th Annual Safety Seminar & Splash-In held at Cedar Mills Marina and resort on Lake Texoma. Several of us attended and camped last year, and we had a really great time.
Cedar Mills airport identifier is 3T0, and they maintain one of the nicest grass strips in North Texas. Arrivals and registration begin at 3pm on Friday, October 17th, and the FAA sponsored safety forums go during the day on Saturday, the 18th, followed by a nice dinner on Saturday night. WINGS credits are provided.
This is a great event to come fly-in or splash-in and camp with your plane, or you can make the short drive up and camp at one of Cedar Mills’ tent or RV sites. Or just come out for the day. Camping with your plane is $20/night, no reservation required. Contact Cedar Mills to reserve tent or RV sites if driving in. They also have a limited number of cabins for rent.
Most of your meals are covered so it is very easy logistics for those of you plane camping for the first time. There is a “social hour” on Friday evening at the hangar – typically with fajitas and margaritas. Bruce and Mary Ann Fuller will be hosting lunch for the Chapter at their RV site on Saturday. Dinner on Saturday night is at the Pelican Landing Restaurant – it is $30 for Oktoberfest style dinner, beverages, and door prizes. There is a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning.
Hope to have a great turnout of folks for this event. Please RSVP and let us know that you’re coming.
