NYCA 2nd Annual Event; BBQ on 9/29/07!

Come to the NYCAviation BBQ!

September is a huge month for aviation every year, and in addition in addition to the many local events, NYCAviation will be having a BBQ as our 2nd annual outdoor event!

On Saturday, September 29th, after LGA Kids' Day, we will assemble at the home of our good friend Vinny Pace in Howard Beach under the 13L approach path! Come by after Kids Day to relax, eat and socialize with all of our friends!

When:

Saturday, September 29 at 5:00pm- 11:00pm

Where:

157-43 101st Street
Howard Beach, NY 11414

WE will provide burgers, hot dogs, buns and condiments. We ask that YOU folks bring snacks you prefer, beverages, desserts or special meat you prefer (veggie, steaks, etc.). Homemade desserts a plus ;)

Alcohol is allowed, but it is BYOB and we ask that people drink responsibly both while hanging out and on their way home afterwards.

Just like the picnic last year, we are trying to set up a raffle. Once details are cemented, I'll pass that along to you all.

I hope you and your families can make it. I myself really look forward to seeing you all again.

See you there!

(ask questions, make suggestions and whatever comments you might have)

I'll try to make it down there, sounds like fun and a good opportunity to meet some of the faces.

Unfortunately, I will be able to go to Kids Day, and then go right back to school. God I hate being a boarding student when I live 15 minutes away!

damn, same day as the paintball game i was going to on SI. sorry guys, i'll be in cali that weekend for the SNS airshow.

If people are planning on coming, please chime in to let me know so I can plan appropriately for food and such.

You can count my dad and myself in, Phil.

I, of course will be there :)

Count me in...

Both my parents and I will be attending. :)

I will come. It will be great to see some of you guys.

BTW, when does the Kids Day start? 12:00pm? Hope the weather is good, not like last year.

There any bus lines that go out near there? I might be able to make it but not sure if I can drive out there...

Can't make it unfortunately, but I'll do the raffle the same as last year if that's ok Phil?

Take the A train to the Howard Beach-JFK Station. When you exit the station, go to your right then make a left on 159 Avenue and proceed two blocks to 101 Street. Make a right on 101 Street and walk up 2 blocks. Its about a 8-10 minute walk. Also MTA Bus Q11 stops at the corner of 157th Avenue and 101 Street. After getting off the bus, walk up 101 Street toward 158th Avenue.

Unfortunately Mrs. Art and I will be in Houston at the Continental Airlines/Flyertalk event. It would have been nice to spend my birthday with you guys and gals though.....

Excited about meeting some of you!

Sorry to hear you can't make it, Art. I hope to see you soon though!

I will most likely be there Phil. I will try to bring my girlfriend too. See everyone then.

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing you and meeting your girlfriend (always nice to have more of a female presence at these events :)

Likewise Mel. I may have to tell her that we're going shopping though and then just show up at the picnic. LOL

I was great seeing you agin last night Raj.

We hope to make it, Highheels and the baby too.

I will most likely be there.... There's a chance I may have to go to DC over that weekend, but nothing is final yet.... I'll let you guys know.

I could definitely make it up there Monday afternoon. The only problem is I don't LIVE in NY.

Its on Saturday, not Monday :)

Oh yeah. I was looking at the wrong month in my calendar. Blast! Okay, guess I won't be there. :-)

There better be a Caesar salad. :)

Count me in. At least 'till 6, maybe 630. I have another event in the evening, but I'll be there as long as I can! Would it be possible to bum a ride off someone?

I'd be glad to depending on where you're going, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get down there until 6pm or so myself. I have a trumpet gig at a football game starting at 1:30, but I'll try to get down there as soon as I can.

may i come to the BBQ? how can i get there by transportation means? lol

Yes, you are welcome to come. Public transportation directions I think was mentioned in an earlier post.

Unfortunately I'll be in Columbus, OH , but fortunately it's for a pretty big Mustang Round-up of 100+ P-51's.

does the house shake when the planes fly over? are the planes close enough to see the registration? of course it depends on the runway.

No and sometimes. Are you new to the site?

I have recent joined this website and I would like to meet some people that are the same interest. Actually everyone has just about the same interest.
I will most likely be coming to the BBQ. I just hope its a bright blue sky above us and 13L-13R being used. lol.

Very good. Welcome!

Hey Phil

2 questions-

1.) Any ideas on what the raffle might be?

2.) Will you and Tommy be signing autographs- I want to show it to everyone in my school =P

Ill try to make it, as it would be awesome to meet you all.
