Had a lot of fun there today. There were two Trikes there when we showed up around 11AM but they took off as soon as we had parked on the ramp. Other than the Trikes we appeared to be the only Ultralights there today. The little planes were real popular. Matt and I probably spent more time talking about our birds than out walking around looking at other people's birds.
Total round trip time was about 4.8 hours on the Hobbs meter. And wayyyyy too much fuel burned.
One thing I really liked about this event was they were welcoming to EVERYONE. We had e-mailed to make sure up front that Ultralights were welcome to the event. They not only invited us in they encourage even insisted we make the fly-in. Big thanks to Ambar Mote for the invite and the welcoming upon our arrival. And to all the ramp workers and young volunteers from the (jr?)ROTC there directing ramp traffic and getting everyone parking spots.
At Hemet-Ryan getting fuel. CDF sent out a OV-10 Bronco two tankers and a UH-1 while we were there fueling up.
Gotta love the sound of a big radial.
