Most of the local airports received substantial federal monies for upgrades to facilities and runways, kinda a facelift for the million plus people that are expected to arrive in, and around, LEX for the event. I39 just got it's new parallel taxiway completed and is putting off the addition of 500' and repaving the entire runway until after the event. The only restriction to flying is the army base to the east of I75, not a no fly zone you just don't want to buzz the place. The airport is out in the boonies so we can play about as much as we want, especially to the west and south. I'll have a pilot meeting probably on Friday. As for something to do, if someone want to, would be to do a bourbon trial search on google for in and around Lexington Ky. The heart of bourbon country takes you through some of the most beautiful horse farm country you will ever see. It is still beautiful to see for me, and I've lived here all my life!!

The guy asked if I wanted Thursday through Sunday, i said yes. rate is $65. No fuss no problem. I'm booked. See you there.

We are not in podunk, KY;-) The houses in my area are renting out for around 3K for the week.anyone else want to host the gathering so I rent this place out and go on vacation;-). Hey, we have an inexpensive deal going on...come on spend an extra $15 bucks and have some fun and the gathering!!! Looking big time forward to see old friends and pending new ones, there is nothing like the KR Gathering for getting up close to these great airplanes!!

KR> Broken foot not able to fly my KR to gathering HELP!
It seems like every year something comes up that either keeps me from attending the KR Gathering or it keeps me from flying my KR to the gathering. In the past it has been everything from electrical gremlins that popped up on my KR just before leaving (that turned out to be minor lose wire) to family issues business committments or other. well this year I am so looking forward to attending and flying and I am only about 30 miles from gathering as I am in Lexington, KY. Well, this week I had an event with a ladder a tree and a chainsaw. The good news is, I didnt cut anything off. The bad news is I have a broken foot, chipped wrist and only minor lacerations. I can still be there but I ability to fly by then is very suspect. Does anyone have any thoughts? I can also host several people if they need a place to stay. I have plenty of room in my home and some pretty cool features like game room, theater room and so forth. I ahve also lived in Lexington a few years and can play host to tours and horse park events and such. It is really beautiful here and as Dana said, this is not po dunk nowhere Kentucky. This is the heart of horse country, we have a real English Castle to see, bourbon distilery tours that are to cool to describe and much more.

If I were a betting man I'd bet they will catch their error by checkout time but maybe they'll honor it anyway. I'd suggest those that have not booked a room do so before this guy goes off shift. You need to call their local number to get the discount, not the 800 number. Larry Flesner
