February Fly-Out Fun

February can be a cantankerous month when it comes to weather for fly-outs. But this month’s forecasts showed a few good days and Wednesday the 11th was one.

As a result of Wednesday’s good weather, 15 people arrived at Amelia’s Hangar for lunch by aircraft and one on foot. Sid Vandiver and I arrived a bit late and it was really cool when we walked in to see the entire group seated along one wall, chatting happily away.

Those flying to the fly-out included Richard Howell (Sling 2), Emily Westcott, Aidan Lara and Kevin Tracy (Emily’s Cessna 172), John Ward (Pipestrel Sinus), Ken and Skip Brown (RV-9), Scott Alair (Lancair Legacy), Ray and Lisa Ballantyne, (Glasair Sportsman), Doug Medema (RV-6), Mark Long with Drew Zacharias (Sea Rey LSX), and Barry Halsted with Sid Vandiver (Cessna 172). Pat Barrett arrived on foot from 1000 ft down the ramp!

Weather on the way home was good, and we’re all looking forward to another fun fly-out next month. ❉
