I'll join Jeff on Thursday's too then... and my top three choices would be:

1. Thursday @ 630pm PST (with planning the night before, same time)
2. Tuesday @ 630pm PST (with planning the night before, same time)
3. Monday @ 630pm PST (with planning on the Saturday before, same time)

Shame there's no voting feature here 8-)
These days/times work for me too.

Sounds good, I'll wait another 24 hours for any more responses and then I'll send any submitted dates/times to Keith for a poll. Anyway I can talk you both in to a 7pm start time instead of 6:30pm?

I have to commute across Los Angeles, and that gives me a "traffic" cushion. lol

I'm interested in joining up for the flight(s) as well. In general, though, Thursdays will not work for me. Monday or Tuesday would be perfect (and actually, so would Wednesday).

7pm PST is even better for me :)

Wednesday and Thursday work for me. I just have to make sure it's okay with Soph. I bowl Tuesday nights.

I think it's great that you're doing this for the west coast. I'm interested in principle.

I historically haven't had a lot of time to fly PE, so I don't necessarily want to influence the time too much if it might present a difficulty for others since I may or may not be able to attend. Having said that, my vote would be for later: 7pm, 8pm, 9pm (with later being better). Being located in HST (PST - 2 hours), it's generally not easy or possible to make most of the events, so later times are more favorable. It gets even more difficult with daylight savings time since HST becomes PDT - 3 hours.

Regards,
Jim

7pm Pacific time on any weekday would be good for me.

Aren't Keith's training sessions on Tuesdays?
Notwithstanding, the Waterbury Family Flyers (5 pilots at present) would be in favor of Tuesday @ 7pm PST (actual times could be negotiable).

Calvin,
Yeah, I'd be concerned with doing them on Tuesdays as I would hate to conflict with the workshops every other week.

I will compile all the suggestions listed so far and send them over to Keith to make a poll for us.

I'm encouraged by all the feedback though! We should be able to work out a time and have a pretty decent showing of folks!

Stay tuned!
