Hey Jay, how was the turnout???


Awesome!

The weather was perfect, and the crowds were very, very large. We ran out
of ribbon for the helium balloons we were handing out to the kids, and we
ran out of coupons that we were handing out to the people who stopped at our
booth. We got a zilliion entries in out drawing (for a free night in the
honeymoon suite), and everyone seemed to really enjoy the food and
airplanes.

Jim & Tami Burns flew down in their pristine Aztec, and we had a great time
with them and their most excellent kids. I don't know how many planes
flew in, total, but it seemed like a heavy turnout. Certainly more than
last year.

And the DC-3 was AWESOME. Mary and I finagled jump-seat rides on it, and,
wow, what a cool old plane. I took a few zillion pix of the day, and will
be posting them to our webpage soon.

One of these years you've got to figure out how to make that Ercoupe fly in
Iowa. Geez, we're not *that* far away!
