2026 Ercoupe Relay Interest - Get On Board!

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far!

Looks like we are going to have great coverage on the west coast, and hopefully in the south. I'm building it all into a spreadsheet as your replies come in.

I live in Maryland and my airport is only a half hour from KCGS, College Park Airport where the first Ercoupe flew in 1937. That airport is now inside the Flight Restricted Zone of the Washington, DC SFRA but I'd love to start the relay at that point... guess it's time to begin the background check & fingerprinting necessary to get authorization to fly in the FRZ .

 

o27 Oakdale Calif
300 or so miles any direction except west Ocean out there...
events not sure at this time
Taking the flag north or south good for me...

I am based in West Memphis, AR. KAWM is the identifier. Willing to fly any direction around 200 or so miles one way. Rather avoid Class C and B airspace. Not aware of any fly-in’s yet for 2026. Sounds like fun. Always good to have a mission.

The Ercoupers in the Pacific Northwest are an active bunch, with strong ties to our friends in ID, CA NV and MT. I'm based at Sunriver (S21) near the center of Oregon... I would propose that Tracy Koberstein could take a hand-off from Idaho, taking it through his base at Walla Walla, Washington to Madras, Oregon (site of 2027 EOC Nationals), and I can take the flag to Lakeview, Oregon for a Nevada hand-off and on to California!
We have fly-ins annually in July through October.... and any venue can be included.
Each of the legs mentioned are about 200 nm. 

Keep us posted,
