OHIO BUSH PLANES October 2,3,4 in West Virginia WV59

Fayetteville West Virginia, home of The New River Bridge. The guys at WV59 are hosting the fly-in. it is peak fall colors in the mountains that time of year. We will have some fly-outs, etc. White Water rafting can be arranged. Motels near by, but make your reservations because that is Gauley season on the river. Greg Swingle made a video of some of the strips that will be on the Mystery Tour from our recent recon trip.

Great video!!! Hope the weather is good for you guys. I think WV might be better than AK. Wish the horseshoe strip was mine.

for the non tent campers, here is the motel, but make your reservations soon. It fills up for the fall Gauley River whitewater season.

I'm guessing this ended up no happening due to the rain?

I believe it was a washout. Last I heard, Patrol Guy spent the night on an Island in the Kanawha River and that was as far as he made it. I was too busy packing for my move. But I did hear they are at/headed to the WAD fly-in up north like always.

They made it to the WAD NH96. I think there are 30 airplanes here as of yesterday.
