I know a few of us have turned out for this in the past. Here's the schedule for 2012. Hope to see some of you there.

If you're not already familiar, here's a thread from 2010 that describes it, and another from 2011.

I was hoping by some miracle that it would coincide with my few available days in July...but not this time...again...maybe next year. Hope you guys have a great time!

Bump.

It's coming up this Saturday, and the weather outlook is promising. I'll be there unless something comes up.

I would like to make it this year if all gos well. Weather has not looked to promising this summer. How are the fires doing in your neck of the woods DP?

No close fires. We had some haze last week. Just had a little rain come through and clear the air though.

Hope you can make it. Good, homespun fun off of the road system.

Well, it was a great time, great weather, and a big turnout yesterday. Didn't see anybody else sporting BCP colors. There was a big Maule contingent. I counted either 13 or 14 visiting planes. That's pretty good for our neck of the woods.

I was going to post the forecast yesterday, but that coincided with the site maintenance outage. Hope everyone else in the region at least got out and made good use of the day. It was glorious.

Cheers,
