Ok. It's Official. Fly in, meet and greet at the picnic strip on Monday May 2, starting at 6 p.m. Hope everyone can make it. It's a long enough strip for almost anything. If you're not familiar with it, the beginning of the strip (down river end) is fairly rutted, and the middle section has a few bumps. Landing to the left hand side on the lower end is the smoothest, but not as long. Please know your airplane and your ability. See you all soon. [emoji2][emoji2] frequency is 122.7 from the old Glenn bridge on up.

I really would love to make this but I think we'll be down on the Kenai by then.

Is this at picnic strip? Did you guys see about the Piper that had to get helo'd out from Lake George this week?

Was it different than the pipers that get helo'd out any other week?

Looks like maybe... A PA22. Hopefully it was a conversion. Also looks like a cub lost a prop in midflight near Eklutna in the last week too.

I did not hear about the cub near Eklutna.... lost a prop? What's the story on that?
