Why We Fly to IOWA... |
![]() Gary & Nikki make a Contest "Package Delivery" |
Nikki and I flew our little plane with plenty of flaws of it's own 650 nautical miles one way because we wanted to participate in the event. Just showing up, visiting with everybody, making new acquaintances while visiting with old friends and getting to see everyone else's enthusiasm for the little mainstay of the GA market was worth the trip. We love to fly and even if it's a longer trip than 3 times around the pattern we're up for it. We had a good time, but thought the awards banquet drug on a little long. But that's not a bad thing, just an observation. Why will we return next year? |

To experience much of the same (not smell or corn).
If we don't bomb stuff with an empty water bottle, that's fine. If we can't have
a landing contest, that's fine. We all have to land to visit, so let's do touch
and go's 3 or 5 a piece. Judge them. Inverted limbo or cut the ribbon...yeah-
right. Let's have some more aerobatic instruction in an aerobat at whatever the
plane and instructor rent for. I'd pay for my hour and a half. Heat and all, I'd
only fill up half of a barf bag. LOL |
