It is early afternoon Sunday as I make this reply and I am now at home. I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning at Thomasville's fly-in. Two or three highlights I'll mention are the great food, hot showers and meeting a couple of RVers that I've kept up with over the years. I met Kyle Boatwright and Brian and Brandon Unrein. I saw Dan Horton's creation, but I never did run up on him, so he is still on my "to meet" list. My wife and I were very impressed with Brian and Brandon Unrein. They are really young but have had enough focus to build an RV10 in a little over 20 months. No paint yet, but it is so nice. Brandon (I believe Brian calls her Brandi) is doing the interior and it is "top shelf". What she has done so far is beautiful. They are a couple of IT buffs that obviously know how to get things done. Cool folks.
I also watched and helped load and unload child after child after child as Bob Willis (6 gun on this forum) gave free rides to America's future aviators. The smiles and joy after each ride was worth the time and effort. Bob does this every year in a Champ that his has owned for over thirty years. He's a very generous fellow for his dedication to flying children for free.
It was great. I'll be back next year if all goes well. Had a blast!!!!!
