Anyone know the actual coordinates for the location of the fly in? Or did I just not see them? Jim Chuk

Go to the town of Garrison on the North West corner of Mille Lacs lake. Amble south along the west shore line a couple miles and you can't miss the ice runway and all the airplanes. Freq is 122.9

courierguy,
I think it might have been a wee bit of a long flight for you. You could have stopped in and RON at my place I guess. The Fly-in was on Mille Lacs lake in eastern MN. East of Brainard.

Had a nice time there, last count of planes I heard was 82 and I think a few showed up after that. Great day for flying, light winds, and about +20 F. A heat wave for this Mn winter! Jim Chuk

Good seeing you there Jim, I was #85 after the 2 1/2 hour flight in. Ended up being close to 2 hours back home. It was good to be getting the clothing zeroed in for the open flying.

These shots are from our airport management intern, Sarah Caton. I gave her the 7D to back up the other camera. Will have to process the shots I took later. (85 aircraft, including Mark in the trike... 8)

Nice pictures, thanks for posting them. I kind of like the one of the yellow and white clipped wing Chief with the drooped wing tips for some reason! :-) Jim Chuk
