over 400 airplanes on one grass strip

Post by glyn »

man, just want to say that i have had the best weekend EVER... friday night we had just over 300 camping, saturday numbers reached almost 500 for fly in dinner. Saturday night about 400 or more were camping. not to mention the campers and people driving in. during the low point there were still 5 in the pattern. at high time while i was up, i counted 12 not including the one's taking off. everything from a twin turbo prop to J3's. oh, had a nice BK-1 show up and a midget reno racer. the racer was smoking EVERYTHING doing fly-bys.

come join it next year!!!!

i have a video but haven't edited it yet.
