October 13-14, 2007

Hosted by Ozzie & Jo Kaufmann

 

The turnout to Tucson was great.  A lot of new faces showed up for the first time so we all got to meet lots of new Mooniacs.  There were quite a few local Mooniacs from the greater Tucson area that drove in for the fly-in.

This was simply a well-planned and wonderfully executed fly-in by Ozzie & Jo Kaufmann.  Although the main events took place on Saturday, there were activities on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  On Friday, we met and toured the Boneyard, the world's largest collection of used aircraft.  That evening we ate at Lil Abner's which is an old stagecoach stop in Tucson with great BBQ and Steaks.  On Saturday, more Mooneys flew or drove in and we had our usual fun lunch, this time at Morgan's.  After lunch we jumped in a van, provided by Ozzie and toured the Pima Air Museum.  This museum has more than 330 aircraft on display.  We had dinner that evening, after drinks, at Cattletown.  Then on Sunday, we toured the Titan Missile Museum.  What a great and unique place.

So Ozzie & Jo broke all the rules by doing so much planning.  So much for keeping it simple!  But everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank You Ozzie & Jo for bringing us all together in Tucson.

See you all at the next fly-in to Temple Bar, Arizona on November 10.
