Hope you're right Turbo!


George and I will be there from ZPH and possibly one more. Front is coming through around 1:00-2:00PM. May have to make it a quick one.

Default You were right Turbo!

We got back before 10:00AM. ZPH had scudding clouds below a 2500ft overcast and started raining just as I pushed the airplane in the hanger.

27 RV's is a great turnout and I think there was a couple more coming in when we left. The shortest regular RV Fly In in the US - 1 1/2 hours and good food!

Hope someone took photos.

Thanks to all who made it. Great turnout! Filled the ramp and cafe nicely. I forgot my camera, but I know some others were taking photos. The run over from Venice was perfect. Smooth air and some light patches of ground fog burning off. We stayed at 1200' and enjoyed the smooth air and views.

Great turnout! Lot's of fun. Man, you gotta get there real early to get a seat at the big table!

Thanks for putting this together, Turbo.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
