Made the trip up Saturday morning and came back this morning (Tuseday).
Took my son Scott who is also a pilot and soon to be an RV 4 owner when finances allow. We had a ball together. I have never seen so many RV's in my life. There was also a sea of yellow cubs. Dan Horton was camped just down a few planes from me so I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time. His RV8 is awesome looking. We could only carry a very small cooler so every time we bought ice we sneaked over and refilled his cooler but he finally caught on. we also got to meet Paul and Louise for the first time and see their beautiful planes.we went to the SOS tent for the get together but had to leave shortly after we ate and had a beer. I got way too hot earlier in the day in the 100 degree heat and wasn't feeling to great so my Son and I called it an early night. I did get to say hi to Jay Pratt and Roy Geer before we left. The highlight of the Monday airshow was seeing Team RV do their routine. This morning when we left there was a very long line of rain and thunder showers South of Osh so we flew southeast to Chicago and then found a small break we could get through. From there it was clear sailing all the way home. 4-1/2 hours we were back in Arkansas.
