Post by jmra »

Great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone:
June 7 Pancake fly in breakfast and shopping at SWFA across the street.

They were the weekend they opened - maybe not now.

Ok. One bird with one stone.

They were open on a Saturday in April. I wish they were open every Saturday. They have a great selection of ammo.

That sounds like fun! We used to go to breakfast fly-ins at Chino Airport in SoCal. Flo's motto: "Pie fixes everything." jmra, if you go, I'd like a chance to connect with you.

I showed the poster to my wife. She's interested. I'll PM you if we're going to make it, and we can figure out where to meet.

Fun day. Think the wife had the most fun. Here she is getting ready for take off in a Great Lakes biplane.

And here she is about to take off in a Cub

And here's my son getting ready for work (I don't call standing around airplanes all day work but...). Hopefully they get some smaller shirts in soon. With him is Carol Walker, owner of Big Q Aviation.

Forgot to mention, the DC-3 rides were a great deal - $25 for adults and $15 for kids.

How neat!!! Sounds like you and your family had a great day, jmra! :)

If I hadn't been in my CHL class today, I would have asked the hubs if we could go.
