Thumbs up LOE'10 PIREPs and pics ...for the folks who can't come

The only scheduled events for LOE'10. Beer, football, more beer and food....surrounded by RVs. On the printed sheet provided by the FBO...

I love this FBO.


An hour after the beer social started Friday afternoon Tayna Card and Ann Daves sat at the raffle ticket desk and sold $3000 worth of tickets. Letting everyone drink for an hour first was Larry Vetterman's idea...

Default LOE

Wish I could have made it, being so close to home, but I just climbed out of working plane. Have to pay bills first! Hope you take lots of pics

Been looking forward to this for months but we have a couple of projects starting up in two weeks and I have got to get the contracts and stuff ready! Bummer.

Next year for sure!

Just in from the banquet....

115 planes.

Raised over $12,000 for the two charities. Each one got a solo cup with $6K stuffed in it. Very swell stuff.

Here is Stephen (guarded the cash all night) and Sharon (did most of the registrations) holding the charity cash a few seconds before handing it over to the folks representing the charities.

Me too. I counted 38 familiar faces at ice-cream after the banquet. I'll process pictures tomorrow. Thanks to all.

Default LOE '10

LOE in Oklahoma was great! I'd say she's picturesque in her own unique way as evident by the spectacular sunset and the photo op on the way back to the north-east Sunday morning. Of course the people and helping out the charities is what made it great.

Best,

Default You might want to run a poll on the band.

If I remember right, we had live music for a couple of years and few people enjoyed it. Most would rather socialize and live music makes that difficult.
