Just got home, embarrassed to say I didn't take a single picture. I saw a bunch of cameras working though, I suspect some pics will show up.

Great turn out, I think I heard 21 airplanes showed up. Lots of huskies and skywagons, a PA-11 and a modded J3.

Great turnout; several really nice flybys- good job 180/185 guys. Turbo Rans had best takeoff/climb out but I think CC matched Rans for short distance. Huskies all had very respectable short takeoffs but Pipers were equally fun to watch. Navion had a very cool takeoff; didn't see his landing. Small tired RV4 also did well on the buffalo grass.

Thanks Orlo; great job putting on one of the best and FREE no pressure breakfasts; at least that I've been to. After nearly 40 yrs I've been to a few despite being 245lbs skinny.

I believe there will be a couple of folks adding more pictures. I'm very IT challenged so no pics from me.

Re: Colo pancakes @ Chaparral

Nice video Moose. So am I assuming correct, you forgot your keys so a buddy came and picked you up to go to the fly-in? What kind of airplane do you have?

Looks like a fun time for sure!

Howdy Kurt,
Yeah we locked everything up for some family vacation. Never did find where I put the key, ended up cutting it off with bolt cutters.
I mostly fly my cygnet and my trikes. Used to fly the Dragonfly quite a bit, but not so much now.

Re: Colo pancakes @ Chaparral

Cool, I am an ex ultralight guy. Flew trikes and other weight shift stuff years ago. I would love to fly a Dragonfly, they look like a lot of fun.

Bummer on locking yourself out of the hangar. Kinda funny if it doesnt happen to you :D Sorry, couldn't resist.

Howdy Kurt,
It is funny! I oftentimes find myself at the central point of my humor. They say if ya can’t laugh at yourself....

But, I’ve never been completely worthless ,
I’m always good for a bad example!

Here’s a little clip I made yesterday with some of our flying.
Unbelievable day for January
