Having been out of the loop for some time, for various reasons, Paul_Sengupta alerted us to this last night.

Count us in!

Club aircraft is already booked by someone else for 21 June, so we're calling the bookee this morning to see if he's open to making other arrangements and we're on the hunt for an alternative aircraft if he's not. Back-up plan is I buy Paul lots of grappa and cadge a lift in the 'dog, leaving himself behind...

Good to see a Plan B. @AerBabe

While you are here, why not bite a few serial quoters on the leg?

Sorry folks. Not this year.
We have decided that the suggested destinations are too familiar to be worth another visit.
Hope you all have a great time.
See you in 2023.

Sadly I'm not going to make it, but I can say that both Asiago and Venice are well worth a visit and I'm still grateful to @AfricanEagle for creating the opportunity to fly into both, a highlight of my flying career.

Unfortunately my shareoplane went into annual with plenty of time for just about any contingency except the one thing it needs - a new engine :pale: .

We may be flying again prior to the Raduno but I am not comfortable embarking on this type of trip while running-in the zero-timed engine.
