The Planes, The Plains<br />
Summer Tour<br />
By Steven Schlossman, Tourmeister<br />
After adding 300+ miles to my odometer and spending several Sundays in<br />
search <strong>of</strong> roads suitable for our cars, June 25th finally arrived. The skies<br />
were blue and conditions perfect for 35 NCC members to meet in<br />
Centreville, Virginia, and set out on The Plains, The Planes Summer Tour.<br />
The 72-mile tour used the back roads <strong>of</strong> Prince William and Fauquier<br />
Counties and passed through Plains, Virginia. The destination was The<br />
Flying Circus Airshow in Bealton, Virginia. The people at the airshow were<br />
kind enough to set aside a <strong>BMW</strong> NCC area where we corralled our pride and joys together.<br />
Several <strong>of</strong> the members who opted not to do the tour met us there. Despite the heat (still not<br />
as hot as O'fest 98 or 99, but hot nonetheless) a good time was had by all. Several <strong>of</strong> us enjoyed<br />
a picnic in the cool shade <strong>of</strong> the trees, but some opted to retreat back to their air-conditioned<br />
cars and call it a day. Those who stayed, however, witnessed a won<strong>der</strong>ful airshow <strong>of</strong><br />
aerobatics in World War I aircraft, wing walking, some comedy, and even a bit <strong>of</strong> aviation<br />
history. To those who did not attend, this was a great way to spend the day with the family. I hope to see more <strong>of</strong> you at our fall tour, which is the last<br />
tour before winter. Tentative plans are for a 4-hour drive into Pennsylvania with starting points in Virginia and Maryland. Visit the website at<br />
http://www.nccbmwcca.org for the latest details.<br />
Plans are already in the works for next year's tours. Maybe an overnight to a Bed and Breakfast in the spring, just in time to get those Bimmers out from<br />
un<strong>der</strong> their winter covers? A cool, shaded destination for the summer. Who knows? Wherever we go, I'll continue to seek out the Iwisties and the road less<br />
traveled for all <strong>of</strong> us to enjoy.<br />
