I wanted to let everyone know that there will be a fly-in at my home field this coming Sunday, July 31.* It is the rotating (bi-weekly) gathering of the South Carolina Breakfast Club, in continuous existence since the WW-II era.* They put on a terrific spread, usually catered,*for a donation of six bucks or so.* There is usually a stripe on the runway for a spot landing contest (on initial arrival), and small awards are given for things like Best Landing, etc.** People usually start arriving at about 0730, and the event is usually pretty much over by about 1030.* If I am joined by any fellow Aero Center fliers (BAC or non-BAC), we can gab as long as we like.* I'll have a fan and some lawn chairs over in my dinky little hangar.
*
I will be helping out at the field, and I plan to try to post the Beech Aero Club banner if no one objects to the added Club appearance.* I won't be able to get reserved BAC parking, due to limited space coupled with an expected 50+ aircraft.* If*at least six planes confirm to me that they will be coming, I will try to get a reserved parking spot near our banner.* I will have some BAC post cards for any non-BAC'er attendees.

Laurens County Airport is about 30 miles south of Spartanburg on the 180 radial, and about 70 miles west of Columbia.* It lies midway between Greenwood and Spartanburg, and southeast of Greenville.* The field is just south of I385, west of the I385 junction with I26 near Clinton.* Hope to see a few of you there!
