Concrete Fly-Out

Our August fly-out was to Mears Field in Concrete. Attendees were Emily Westcott, Captain Crystal Stout (guest) and Andy Sallee in Andy and Emily’s Cessna 172, Ken and Skip Brown in their RV-9A, Dave Gardner in his Stinson, Ray Ballantyne and guest Richard Humphries in Ray’s Glastar, John Ward in his Pipistrel Sinus Motorglider, Brendan Carmody and his son Liam in Brendan’s Cherokee 140, guest Tim Alentiev in his RV-10 and Barry and Tracy Halsted in the Rocket.

The trip up was a bit hazy but otherwise great. As planned, we walked the ten minutes to Cascade Burgers only to find out that this week they closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. So we started to what was to be a not-to-far-away pizza place but after another ten minutes we all gave up and backtracked to a Shell station that had hamburgers and other supplements. In all, we had a nice turnout and a good time.
