Should be a great event. I flew the local paper today who will be covering the event. They seemed excited.

Regarding the grass... I don't know bill, I've heard of some nut landing in the nice compacted dirt before. Just east of the awos machine...is what I heard... :)

Very discouraged at a community outreach event though.

Bring the family, and land on the asphalt 10/19!

Good community turnout. Great to see a lot of little kids sitting in pilot seats. Good student turnout: we may be gaining on the closure effort.

Thanks, piperpainter for the nice display of aircraft control and the flyby departure. The plane looks great.

Thanks, Flynengr, good to see you and your daughter.
Sorry I didn't have more time to talk. Nice climb out, sounds good too.

It really was a great event. Awesome job bill!

Piperpainter and flynengr, it was great to meet you both. I look forward to joining you on the west circuit soon, and hopefully the high Sierra next week.

It'll be worth it!! Also if you get a check from that guy let me know [-o< ! I foresee a lot of head damage until I either fix the part or replace it! #-o
