As anyone on this list, and the matronics list, will know by previous
experience, I did not aggressively promote the flyin as much as I have in
the past. I have been extremely busy this tax season and have been
struggling whether to keep the flyin at i39 or moving it about 20 miles away
to DVK. The first two years I was required to park arrivals in the grass
along the taxiway. This year we have had an unusually wet winter which had
turned this parking area even more wet than prior years. The Monday before
the flyin we had snow on the ground with rain expected for two days mid
week. I have to make the call reasonably early in the week to enable pilots
to make their call. Thus, a smaller event this year.
The flyin started for me Friday at 5PM with the arrival of three friends,
Kahuna, Speedy and Dogg at i39. Photo and Mary both had prior commitments
but Ginger was with Dogg. Elaine stayed at the house and watched the whole
ribeye in the smoker and readied the other food and bar. We had a great
dinner with three different local wines.
We then moved to the Black Magic factory where Kahuna made a very astute
observation. I am close enough to have a million little things to do to
finish the airplane.
Up to the great room to watch Photo's presentation of TeamRV's out west trip
two years ago on 72" 1080i..........the DVD is spectacular in and of itself,
on the big screen with surround sound...........well, it was nice. a few
more lies then off to bed all went.
Well the Saturday weather was initially 60 degrees with rain by 4PM. By
Friday it was 45 degrees with rain moving in around midnight. There was a
very strong storm moving from the southwest, as documented by the wind
storms in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Indy area was also
reporting marginal weather. The Indy crowd is usually a large contingent. We
ended up with a total of 23 RV's and Rockets along with quite a showing of
commercially built. We ended up having coffee, donuts, roasted corn,
hotdogs, chips and Hooters wings. I canceled the Hooter's girls when they
upped the price and knowing what the weather was to be. Anyway we had a
great time. Wizz led a flight of 7 on a multi formation show. Kahuna
reconfigured inflight, as per brief, into a 5 ship. Nice showing guys.
Door prizes were given away from Control Vision, Avery tools and Van's. With
weather moving in, it was get a gift then bug out. I certainly understood.
Now for next year. Up to this point I have been reluctant to move the flyin
due to it's convenience for me. Since Black Magic will be flyin shortly I am
open to moving it to DVK. My thoughts here are with DVK's larger ramp and
dual runways for cross winds, it will be a better environment. Those who
have attended in the past, please send me an email to bo124rs(at)hotmail.com
Again, thanks to Elaine and all who helped and attended. I had a blast as
always.
