ANS Annual Convention
The 2019 American Navion Society Annual Convention was held at St. Ignace, Michigan.
St. Ignace is on the north side
of the Straits of Mackinac which connect Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. Due to the very short tourist season in northern Michigan
we moved convention to an earlier week to get a better price on accommodations. The hotel accommodations were excellent and
the view of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island was very nice. The weather was very cool and there were a few days of messy weather,
but our flying events and other activities were not impaired.
The airport is Mackinac County and the identifier is
83D. Unicom is 122.7 and nearest AWOS is 118.275 at Mackinac Island. The field elevation is 624 ft and runway
is 07-25 at 3800 ft.
We stayed at Breakers Resort at St. Ignace. Watch your ANS newsletter for a convention

The 2020 American Navion Society Convention will be at Spearfish, South Dakota.
