Bryan's "Cessna 150 Heavy"
in the Skies over Clinton, Iowa
Living about 250 miles from Clinton doesn't leave a lot
of room for "adventures" for the flight in. The two hour trip went pretty
uneventful, Kevin fell asleep in no time and Leah got out her paper and
began to doodle pictures that look like chicken scratches. We did spend a
few minutes trying to find "aircraft wreckage" that the sectional said was
below us...we never did find it. Just after landing at Clinton I contacted
the nearly world famous "air boss" and heard a reply..."is that you Bryan?".
Holy Cow! I thought...I couldn't believe he knew it was me!

Our Low Wing Consigns us to the back 40. |
After getting parked in the "back 40" (hint-hint....please
Steve...let me park closer to civilization next year!) I was met by Kirk and
then Greg Hopp (who happened to land right behind me).
The kids and I hurried to set up our tent and the rest of
the camping gear so we could get busy shootin the bull and on to the luau!

Those Tiki drinks were great!...my compliments to the Tiki
drink maker!

Over the course of the weekend we had so much fun, it was
great seeing the folks I met last year and those that I was meeting for the
first time. I must say Wayne Westerman's stories get funnier every year, I
still laugh thinking of the "when I shaved off my beard" story told at the
banquet...that one about had me in tears that night!
I wish I could add something for the return trip, but
Greg Hopp
described it to a "T"...outstanding story Greg!
See y'all in 2005!
