Looks like I'll be executing "A Clockwork Orange". Probably 11:30-ish.

We live on the field, and also have fishing ponds and plenty of room to roam around if you want to spend the day. Could do a group fly-out to Pilot Mountain if any are interested. I look forward to feedback/replies, as we are doing this big or small!
Bill,
Thanks for your outstanding hospitality at today's FLY IN. Awesome lunch, airport, folks and lunch. Also, happy anniversary..cool unique way to get married. Thanks again.

Bill, Another hearty thanks for a great event. Great company and great hospitality. You and your fellow hosts are welcome over at Gold Hill Airpark anytime you're in the need for a place to visit. My place is the red roofed cedar sided house on the north side of the runway (Fine St.).
Robert W. (Bill) Korff -- N174PB

Thumbs up

That was a great event! Thank Bill and Co. for organizing it! I picked up my "high-dollar recon pilot" somewhere inside the Circle of Doom.





We flew around a bit spotting targets then headed to Twin Lakes. Were treated royally.






Met old buddies, put faces to many VAF callsigns and made new friends.








Finally met two legends James and Ron. Learnt that a new episode is in production. How-to-pour-milk-and-enjoy-a-cookie-on-top-of-the-loop.





James please email me the next date of SC Breakfast Club.





We also visited the famous mountain. My copilot flew some fast hardware in very close but never through the split. So we corrected it. Then posed for some tourists on top I bet they flooded their personal media with images.




Many soaring eagles there.



Great time thanks!

Vlad, I used to live within walking distance of this lump of dirt. Idylic. Still not sure I should have moved away from that place

Bill then you should know whose airstrip is down there. Right under the mountain. Not on the charts.

Vlad,

Your request has been fulfilled. See Private Messages and email.
Also ...

And this Sunday is KUZA. Hope to be there.
There should be a few RV's there along with a lot of other planes.

James

Default I finally met Vlad!

It's a 10 minute flight to Twin Lakes from my home at Gold Hill (NC25) and I was reluctant to make the trip until I heard that there was a chance that Vlad might show up at the event. \

Well, I finally got to meet the little Ruskie and it made the grueling trip worthwhile.

Bill. thanks for making this happen. Lots of really nice people to meet and old friends to see again. Quite a nice lunch spread as well. Hope you make this an annual event. I'll be back.

Jeez, I lived there 30 years ago and was not a pilot yet (in training up at Mt Airy). Sorry Vlad, you stumped me. I don't remember hearing about any off chart fields near Pilot Mt. while I was there. Could have been though.

Of course, I could have been saved from this question if a certain person would fly above 5K AGL.
