EMPOA X-mas meeting 2024 in Munich

This year, our traditional Christmas party took us to beautiful Würzburg.

Ines Haselmann kindly agreed to take care of the organization, and very quickly more than 30 participants had registered.

The wet and cold winter weather meant that not a single Mooney landed at Würzburg-Schenkenturm airfield; all participants traveled by car. Our new member Darren and his partner Anne traveled the furthest distance, 12 hours, from Brittany.

The event kicked off on Friday evening with an atmospheric night watchman tour, before we ended the evening with a meal together at the Backöfele restaurant, which serves typical Franconian cuisine. 

On Saturday after breakfast, we visited the impressive Würzburg Residence. After the tour, we were able to explore the magnificent rooms on our own.

After that, there was no set program; some went shopping, others went straight to the Christmas market. Marienburg Castle is also within walking distance of the city center.

The highlight was our official Christmas party on Saturday evening at the traditional Juliusspital restaurant. We enjoyed ourselves with excellent food and excellent Franconian wine.

On Sunday after breakfast, the Mooniacs drove off in all directions again. It was another successful EMPOA outing with a great location, nice conversations about flying and our Mooneys, and wonderful food and drink. Many thanks to Ines for organizing it!

The pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy the gallery!
