Loring AFB visit and lobster dinner;
Due to weather only many of the planned out of state arrivals for Thursday did not happen. We did fly 6 RVs to the former Loring Air Force Base. The gaggle of 6 arrived at ME16 with permission from the authority. It was an incredible day to fly, blue skies with low winds. Looking down that 12800 ft runway was great. Even though I just used the 1st 500 to land on and then back taxi'd, it still was a sight.I could just image a large B-36 lumbering down the runway.
We were greeted by Carl from the development authority and Ray from the Historical Museum. They provided a 2.5 hour tour. There was also a TV crew there upon arrival.
They interview Marvin with his good looking RV14
On our way back stopped for some prearranged discounted fuel and off to Millinocket for Lunch on the way back.
