Man, there were sure a lot of people who stayed up late last night and did
the voluntary (I refuse to use mandatory) safety wire thing. At first I was
wondering if that was in fact the case.
I woke up at 5:00AM to get the truck packed and in order to get to the
airport. When I walked outside the wind gust and light, very light, rain
surprised me. So be it, the flyin was on nothing I could do about the
weather. Off I go the airport. Elaine got there about the same time as I
and fired up the coffee (man, was it ever coffee:-). At about 10AM, when
the ramp is usually almost full, we only had about 12 SB compliant (or maybe
reckless.....oh, my) RV'ers after 4-5 had already come and gone. At about
this time Rat Flight of 10 (Ohio Valley & TeamRV) with two who got in early
arrived and performed three very nice formation flybys. At about this time
we had more arrivals than departure. The weather south and north east of us
had people coming and going on a regular basis. In addition the winds were
pretty much cross wind at 12-19 gusting to 23knts. With that said we had 52
arrivals prior to the door prizes with two arrivals post door prizes. The
past two years we have pushed 100 RVs so the turnout was definitely off, but
expected. We still put a lot of RV's in one place at one time. It was
great to see everyone again and look forward to our no frills, free coffee,
free donuts, free pop, free water, free Hooter's
wings................Kickoff Flyin. As a side note, the first person here
today DROVE from St. Louis just to see RV's. That shows the passion!!
Man, I am still amazed as just how many people stayed up all night and fixed
sonething on there airplanes. The thought of the day, over 4000 RVs flying
multiplied by the number of flight hours X the number of flight hours flown
post 3.5 gallons remaining X Common Sense..................
Anyway, we had another great time, hope all who attended did also.
Same time next year.........the last Saturday of February.
