There will of course be a petition for all to sign attesting to the value of the
airport and requesting the city fathers to support its continued operation(?).

Will anyone who has a copy of such a thing please forward it to Jay?

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

you know: a TFR can make an event really look bad ....

All the big boys will be on this side of the country then.

Yep, and then GW comes to Des Moines on Tuesday.

Well, it's not the same as "up-close", but I have several close up pix, both
static and in flight as well as a couple of small video clips. I can e-mail
them to you if you would like. Let me know what your screen res is and I'll
send them along.

Wish I could be there.
When I was a child I had an opportunity to ride from Dallas to D.C. in a
Connie.
That was nearly 50 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I would love to see one "up close" again!

Hey Jay,

How was the turnout at IOW? I was set to go to a local fly-in this morning
at Windom, but my plane failed pre-flight check.

It was terrific! After an all-day rain on Saturday, Sunday dawned crystal
clear and cool -- perfect for a fly-in breakfast.

It was IFR to the east most of the morning, so that limited fly-ins from
that direction -- but we still had dozens of planes arriving and departing.

The towns-folk turned out in droves, as they always do. We gave away
hundreds of balloons, pounds of candy, and did a drawing for a free night in
the Pan Am Clipper honeymoon suite.

Best of all, the four of us got a ride in the MATS Connie -- with Mary and
me being allowed some right seat time! I got to do a 180 degree turn in
that big, beautiful bird -- what a rush!

I'll be posting the pix and movies later today, with any luck...

Have a bacon butty with HP sauce for me and I'll have one for you!

Ah, HP sauce -- I'll never forget it again!

And a 21-ship formation? Wow, what's the occasion?

21st anniversary of the Beagle Pup and Bulldog Club.

In the end we took out the 100hp Pups, they weren't powerful
enough, so there were 18. I was Black 3, right down the back!

Well, the official photos are being posted to us on CD this weekend.
I have some I'll try and get posted up somewhere but I don't have
any cropping software on my work PC so will have to probably do it
at home.

try http://www.irfanview.com/
free and very powerful (if you are allowed to install any software at all)

Ah, now that's the problem. I have admin rights, but you're just not
supposed to do it. Thanks for the link.
