What a great way to end the year. (10 minutes to 2009 as I am typing)
I was able to fly to Sedona with RaNae and great friends,
meet many new friends during lunch and after,
fly over the Grand Canyon,
and have just an incredible day for flying in the RV-10.
Before we launched from Grassy Meadows (UT47) near St. George, UT I put out a quick post in the Regional section on VAF that we would be flying to Sedona for lunch hoping we could meet up with a few others.
With my post only going out about an hour before leaving I didn't think anyone would even read it.
Gene Porter and his wife Carol were going to join us in their beautiful RV-7A but we decided to all go together in the -10. We headed out around 11:30 and had a 1 hour and 18 second flight to Sedona via Tuckup Corridor over the Grand Canyon. It was sunny, smooth and beautiful on the way over.
We landed and stepped out of the plane into beautiful warm weather. It was in the mid to upper 50's but the sun made it feel like 80 degrees.
After getting a table and sitting down we ordered our food and three guys approached us and introduced themselves. They saw the post and flew down from Flagstaff. I was really amazed they caught the post and very happy the came over to join us.
Here we are having lunch.
From left to right: Carol and Gene Porter, Mark, Pat, Brad, RaNae and Scott
Mark and Brad flew over in a 182 and Pat flew over in his RV-6A.
Brad has a 6A being worked on at Sedona and is completing another 6A back at Flagstaff.
It was a real pleasure to talk with them during lunch. The RV community sounds very strong at Flagstaff, AZ.
