Kelly, thanks for hosting all of us. You mother and wife did an outstanding job in the food department. I enjoyed meeting some of you from the forum and all others. Thank you John and Debra McBean for allowing me to pester you with all of my questions. To fly formation with the heliocopter was exciting. I have got to get with it on my SS. Next year we will have to do this again so that I can fly my own in. My wife is tired of me talking about yesterday all day today. First rate event!!

Donna and I had a great time putting faces to people on the list. We enjoyed the event, and the ideas from looking around, and a lot of verbal input will help as I finish my build. Thanks Tom & Donna Stuart

What an absolutely great event. Sorry I could not make it. The pictures are fantastic and gives one a sliver of what it must have been like. Be sure and add some pictures to the "where I fly" thread. Good to see we had one Canadian rep there. Way to go Don. I sure hope it happens again next year, to have a secound chance to make it. WOW great hosts, great scenery, great people, and great aircraft. This is what keeps my heart pounding, keep it up...

Kelly,
Thank you for a great time ! Special thanks to Raina and Mary (mom) for all the great food and organization. Speaking from experience.. I know how hard they work to make us look good. Be sure to thank them Kelly.. dinner out might be in order

The Fox Farm fly-in was a great time and we look forward to it again. Hopefully we won't have the smoke to contend with for the trip... 2.7 hours chock (S66) to chock (Fox-Farm). Great Lunch and Deserts with much from the home garden.. YUM.

Thanks to Aerocet for allowing Kelly to have one of the new floats on display.. What a nice piece of equipment. Carbon for weight, 500-5 mains and both the main and the nose have shock absorbtion 84 lbs ea. I suspect all up to be in the 230 range which allows for under 200 lb installed.

After a great day Debra and I headed to Sandpoint for the night...
If you ever find yourself in Sandpoint be sure to goto "Sweet Lou's" Bar and Resturant... Great smoked Prime Rib and if you like Nachos.. I have to admit that it was the some of the best Nachos I've had.

Good nights sleep and a early launch to Nordams (Priest Lake) to meet with everyone for Breakfast...

Off to Sullivan Lake... didn't have many takers but the 4 Fox's and the R44 found our way over to enjoy the view.

Great photos of "Heaven on Earth" (aka. Washington State). Born and raised in the Wenatchee Valley on the Colombia River... Maybe I'll retire back there and join y'all for the 5th Annual Fly-in. What an exciting turnout and judging by the photos, great food as well! Congrats to Kelly & Raina on your first Fly-in being successful!
