Make sure when you go by Bear Butte you go around the north side and make an extra buzz over my Dad's runway (his place ajoins the Butte and you can't miss the long runway...and it's on the chart as Bruch Airfield).

Cheers,
Stein

Both the wife and I have to work Friday and Saturday afternoon, so unable to attend the Badlands Fly-in.

BUT we have time for a quick trip to Polson MT Fly-in on Flathead Lake. Anyone else from the NW that can't make South Dakota stop by 8S1 on Saturday. We'll be there friday evening and sat morning

The weather gods have smiled upon the Badlands Flyin! Sever clear and temps in the 80s lows in the 50s, with light winds predicted all weekend! Perfect!

The weather is fantastic here at the Badlands Fly in. Early this am we all took an "unmarked" bus bus to MT. Rushmore and a shoping stop in Keystone, SD before heading back to the airport for a nice BBQ dinner. The people are fantastic, great RVs, good food, adult beverages. Lots of scenery, buffalo, prong horns, prarie dogs, and other critters to look at. A very cool place to visit.

If you have not been to the Badlands Fly in put it on the calender for next year. Larry Vetterman ( started LOE) know's how to build a great fly in from his decades of experience. Get in on the ground floor of what will truly become a classic fly in. "It don't get no better than this."

Don't let Larry V. fool ya, he provides plenty of beer! I could have had a couple more beers if a certain Texan would not have told me the beer was gone! Is that legal in TX?

Why has no one posted pictures? Way too busy having fun!

Plenty of rooms available, plenty of steaks available for the Sat night banquet. Call Larry in the AM, get in your airplane and see you at dinner! Why have an RV if you don't use it?

For those of you that didn't make the Bad Lands flyin you don't know what your missing. Were having a great time. The pine trees smell so good you'd think they were in the cockpit with you! Right Larry

Whoa, you had someone put a pine cone in your plane hoping you would sit on it? What low life SOB would do something like that?

Seriously VAF, we are have a great time. The flying today was world class. Calm, sunshine, 50 mile vis, great pilots, good conversation, cold barley malt, world class RVs, and dancing girls. Just seeing if you are awake! MT. Ruchmore, Crazy Horse, Devils Tower, Wall Drug, Badlands, and back to Hot Springs. Best trip I have been on. Well organized, good pilot breifings, could not have gone better.

Big steak dinner tonight, and I am hungry!
