The October Fly-in!
Well this was my second fly-in and what a great time! I think all total we had 23 planes. Not all at the same time but total for the weekend. Our largest day was 17 planes rallying the North circuit. 13 stayed for the Saturday night camp out and had 4 more arrive in the am on Sunday! Starting to think the South circuit is a bit hard on planes. Maybe not so hard on the plane, information pills but the pilot. The South circuit flying is much more difficult for certain. Airspeed, spot landings, always flying on the back side of the power curve trying to land somewhere silly. Man, you just gotta love it!
I really enjoy getting to know so many like minded folks. Thanks to everyone who came and also to my pops who drove his jeep out and set up the flag to claim our spot! I could go on and on with how much fun we had etc., but once again I will just let the photos speak for themselves. I am already looking forward to flying again tomorrow!~

Nice to see you at the EAA pancake feed last month. You may recall that I had a local professional photographer (Scott Thompson) with me who I was taking up in my amphib Kitfox for some photography over Tahoe, Donner, and Truckee. Here is a link to the great photos and a short cool video. Enjoy:
