January Fly-Drive-(Whatever We Can Do to Have Fun Together) Out

January’s flyout took a long time to come to fruition, and it changed its course on the way. Initially it was to be a flight to Thun Field on January 19, but that morning the weather didn’t cooperate and the flyout was cancelled. Ray Ballantyne, Dave Miller and Barry Halsted had readied themselves for the flight, though, and instead flew to Port Townsend for lunch. Not much of a flyout… So another attempt to fly to Thun Field was orchestrated for January 24, but again the weather scrubbed the flight. Sheesh.

Not to give up on the social aspects of our flyouts, a DRIVE-OUT to the Las Palomas Mexican Restaurant was then offered for January 26. When previous flyouts have been cancelled such drive-outs have been well attended, and thus it was this January. Arriving IFR (I Follow Roads), all landed successfully. Rick Vaux, Rick Smith, Colette Miller, Tom Roorda, John Cuny, Dave Miller, John Ward, Bud Davies, Emily Wolcott, Jeff Smith with gal friend Kelly, and Barry Halsted all showed up and had a fine time!
