Forty pilots, partners and friends flew into Friday Harbor for a UFO (United Flying Octogenarians) Regional meeting. Pilots traveled from Calgary, Dayton Ohio, and California and all over Washington. Several of our 430 Chapter members were also present. Those attending were UFO members (pilots over 80 who still fly), Master pilots (pilots who have flown 50 years without an incident), and pilots not yet 80 (ground crew). Lunch was served by Ernie’s Café; introductions were made, and pilots were invited to tell their stories to the group.
