The Hood River Fly-In is coming up in a few weeks!
For those that have not been to Hood River, it's a great town with good food, great Beer!
There was a good turnout of airplanes last year. September is great time of year for flying the Columbia River Gorge. The strong summer winds are settling down and the temperatures are usually just right.
I'll bring my plane over on the evening of the 5th for pilots night. How about a BCP meet up for drinks and food Saturday night?
