Nor Cal / High Sierra Fly-In

September 5, 2011 Kevin

What a great weekend! We have just finished the first annual (may end up being monthly) Fly-in. I have never hosted a fly-in before as this was my first attempt. We ended up having 14 planes total over the weekend and a whole lot of fun. Members from BCP.Org, Supercub.org and the Skywagon club showed up and fun was had by all! The first day out we landed at 15 or more of the 35 landings we have on the North Circuit and another 6 or 8 on the South loop the next day. Day 2 had a few hiccups with a dead battery on a mountain top and 2 flat tail wheel tires. Needless to say it took about two hours of our time to fix and deal with the scenarios. Once everyone was back up and running we were off again but due to the time of day and the heat, the day found itself winding down. My personal highlight for the weekend was seeing all the planes parked on a mountain top above 8700′. The other was the lonesome cowboy riding up from nowhere high on a ridge. He was a real cowboy and a pretty cool character. Anyhow, here are some pics…
