Next weekend I'm going to my 5th fly-in at a tiny grass field in western NC. The runway has a dogleg in it! But every year I've gone, it's gotten bigger and bigger! Every year we get comments from pilots that it's like parking at Oshkosh. This is because the marshallers have either worked AirVenture or been trained by those of us who have. We take it as the height of compliments!

There's no real purpose to this thread. I just love this little fly-in and wanted to post about it! If you're in the NC/SC/TN/VA area, it's at Laney's Airport (N92) southeast of Hickory, NC, there's free (delicious) food, live music, and a ton of aviation enthusiasts! It's not an EAA-sponsored event, but it's still a lot of fun!
