Any vans in the Kankakee Area?

Hi guys,
I am currently working in Kankakee and was wondering if someone has a RV in KIKK or close (south of Chicago) or is building in the area? Would be cool to meet a fellow RV-tor.
Cheers Yves
 
Kankakee

Gosh, I was born and raised in little Kankakee. Escaped the winters and now enjoy flying my RV-9A in sunny (and warm) Phoenix. Good luck with your search.
 
I have a 6 and a 10 in Schaumburg, but not what I would call close to Kankakee.

Well I should have checked it earlier…
As I did not find anyone with a Vans I thought I rent a Piper or Cessna in the area. But after visiting 3 airports and calling most flightschools around Chicago I gave up. They are all fully booked or need 3-5days to schedule something. Eventhough I have a US license based on my swiss license and only wanted to fly an hour (with a instructor).
Well I assume I have to plan this better for the future. But as I am every 6 months here for work I will semd you a message next time :)

Cheers Yves

I fly out of Morris Municipal Airport (C09) about 30 miles NW of Kankakee. Our EAA Chapter is having an Ice Cream Social at the airport tomorrow night (7/15) at 6:30 pm to kick off OshKosh. We have a number of RV's on the field, and you're welcome to stop by if you would like.

Hi Glenn,
thank you so much but unfortunately I am altrady at O‘Hare waiting for my return flight. But maybe I contact you in the future as I am in the area mostly every 6 months.
All the best and enjoy the icecream (if weather permits)

Cheers Yves
