NOTE that there will be no organized drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Airpark!
For the fourth consecutive year, LVMOC has had the good fortune to be invited by Chapter 839 of the Eastern Experimental Aircraft Association, on May 18, 2025, to a pancake breakfast ($8 contribution per person), an aircraft fly-in and a car show (LVMOC member cars and classic British cars, from the Keystone British Car Club) at the Pegasus Airpark, near Brodheadsville, PA. EAA Chapter 839 will have their aircraft on display and many will be taking off and landing on the airfield during the event. In addition, they will be offering free airplane rides for kids ages 8-17!
About the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 839: It operates at Pegasus Airpark, a small turf airfield near Stroudsburg. The mission of EAA 839 is "to promote aviation by inviting the public to experience flight, and nurture their interest in aviation through workshops, aviation events and fun activities that bring the community together. We're a non-profit organization and have programs that engage kids and adults alike."
Monthly Pancake Breakfast / Car show / Aircraft events are held by EAA Chapter 839 to raise funds for their operations. As noted above, 2025 is the fourth year in which LVMOC has been invited to display our cars as a feature of the event. Here are some photos of our group at the 2021 event. (Select "Grid Layout" to display)
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! After we are done enjoying the airshow (probably by around 11:30 - 12:00), we will gather our group of Miatas and head for a yet-to-be determined destination (It will be the Blue Mountain Drive-in, in Danielsville) for lunch and ICE CREAM!
Please join us! This will only cost $8.00 (alright, $10 if you round up for a good cause) to participate in a car show, have your child or grandchild ride in an airplane and have a fun Miata drive for ice cream!

When we were riding before, it was cb radios.
Is one frs radio better than another?
Here are some thoughts on FRS radios, David:
Many of our members use Midland FRS radios. For our purposes, you don't need a fancy pair with GMRS channels or weather alert. Privacy code capability can be nice if you need to have a less busy channel at some time. My personal pair (Midland) is very basic, with no GMRS, weather or privacy code option, and I've been satisfied with the performance on Club drives. (GMRS requires that the user have an FCC General Mobile Radio Service license.) Amazon sells Midland FRS radios starting at around $40 per pair. Midland's LX600PV4 is listed by Amazon for $57.00 per pair, and it looks like a pretty versatile unit with privacy and weather at a reasonable price (here's a LINK to that model on Midland's website).
LVMOC migrated from CB to FRS largely because, with FRS, there is no need to deal with an antenna. We have found that, the newer the Miata, the less steel on which to stick a magnet-based antenna 🤔.
I hope you find something that suits you!
