I had wanted to fly up there on the Saturday just to show up in the
Checkerbird since it is only about an hour and a half from here, but
had heard that they were charging something like $35 just for landing
and staying a couple hours, and I was too broke that weekend to buy
fuel plus pay such a large entrance fee, having spent all my flying
budget the previous couple weekends going to the SWRFI and the Ranger
fly-ins.

They didn't charge anything to land. And they showed up at the plane with a
bottle of ice-cold water -- great, given the 95 degree heat!

I think it was a $10 per night tie-down fee, in addition to the registration
fee. (Which you only had to pay if you were attending the organized parts
of the fly-in.)

If you get a chance, Neal, be sure to make it next year. A very cool bunch
of guys are putting it together, and everyone is very laid back and relaxed.
We had never attended any of their get togethers before, and were made to
feel very welcome -- even with the kids in tow.
