Here is our picture dump from the event. I can't thank the guys at Air Tractor enough for doing this. I found their production process and product very exciting. Thanks Mike for the superb tour and demonstration. It was thrilling to talk to enthusiastic employees producing airplanes for a specific purpose. I guess I was a little surprised to see just how much we have in common, all the way down to the little details.

What a perfect day.

Dang Mike,
I checked out Scott Card's photos, not bad for a local boy. Wish I could have made it, looks like everyone had a great time.

Default More photos and THANKS!

What a great event! The Air Tractor folks pulled it together in a fantastic manner....especially since they originally conceived it as an event for 10 or 12planes. We counted 62 RVs and several other planes came in, too.

Default What a way to spend a Saturday!

We made it back a few hours ago. We took our time and checked out last week's tornado damage at Hammon, Ok. on the way home. Thanks for the prop balance and tour Mike. You guys did a great job! 35-40 mph tail wind on the way down and 7 on the nose on the way back.

Default Thanks!

I was the last to leave at around 4:30... after the prop balance and running nice and smooth now!

Thanks everyone for the great day!
