The NW RV Fly In was again marred by inclement weather which made it difficult for some folks to get there. I'm guessing we had around 50 RV's show up despite the upper level low that plagued the area. Most traffic from up north (Puget Sound area) was stuck on the ground on 400-500' ceilings for most of the day. At least one aircraft was able to file IFR did make it down from Pierce County (KPLU).
We were able to still serve 145 folks BBQ lunch, and several vendor booths sprouted up during the fly in.
Despite the weather gods best attempt to foil us, we were able to brief and fly a very nice 10-ship formation. This years 10-ship participants were: Wendell 'Runaway' Folz, Steve 'Noname' Payne, Mike 'Easy' Wilson, Len 'Nel' Kaufman, Pete 'RT' Forsyth, Jon 'JJ' Friedeman, Ken 'KK' Kreuger, John 'JB' Brick, Dan 'Lava' Miller, and Joe 'Shadey' Blank.
Below are a couple of shots, one from Leads aircraft, and the other onboard shot by 'Girlcam' photographer Amy Kreuger. Amy is Ken Kreuger's (Van's Chief Engineer) daughter.
If anyone else has pics from the Fly In, feel free to post on this thread.
