27-28    SOUTH LAKE TAHOE -- Lake in the Sky AirshowMooney Ambassadors - http://www.lakeintheskyairshow.com/, South Lake Tahoe (KTVL) I just received wonderful news from the Lake in the Sky TVL-Lake Tahoe airshow committee. They are very hopeful that the Mooney Ambassadors would come to Lake in the Sky Airshow again. I think this is a wonderful opportunity! There is one change that is thrilling! The airshow committee wants to know if some of our planes can be IN the airshow this year versus flying during the break. The thought is that we can fly our fast airplanes fast and do more when we are part of the airshow. Isn't that just wonderful?Some things are the same: Complimentary evening meal on Friday the 27th, breakfast and lunch on the 28th. Free admission to all Mooneys who fly in. Display area will be the same, down at the end where we can have access to the ramp for flight demos. The kid's activity was mentioned by the airshow committee as being so positive. I will make sure that all items are available again this year. We will cap at 12 Mooneys on display. All Mooneys are welcome, and we will have space on the ramp, probably near Mountain West for any Mooneys who sign up beyond the display cap. Sign ups are first come first served for the 12 display slots. If you would like to be considered for the airshow demonstration, you will need to attend mandatory pilot briefings. This event was just top notch last year. Help us make it a wonderful experience this year. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=132057967005.
