Sorry about the empty letter - here goes...
Well, another successful gathering ! I flew 41768 up on Thursday with a
friend on mine (Jerry Howard a KR2 builder) and we arrived at 6:00 pm or so in
Mt. Vernon. Elaine couldnt go because of school so Jerry got a ride with me.
A very uneventful flight with lots of haze. We left Valdosta at around
1400 lbs - and still climbed out at 500'/min. Not too shabby. The Gathering
went well with 14 Krs in attendance - a few less than last year but
understandable with the weather/ hurricanes/ and fuel prices - overall a
GREAT! time.
I gave out lots of rides and did a couple low passes to spur on the crowd.
Unfortunately I didnt get many pictures so I will wait until you all get them
out so I can see them. Steve Jones flew his Turbo Corvair and won People
Choice! Nice job Steve! Troy P. won Best KR! and a nice Kr it is. I just
had
a blast. Four Corvair KRs were there. Steve Jones, Mark Jones, Mark
Langford and myself. Good going to all of you and well done! Hope to see all
of
you at Sun and Fun - Oshkosh and the next Gathering.. The rest of you - get
building! Your missing all the fun!
Dont forget the upcoming Corvair College yall - it ia a lot of fun and
engine intensive! Look for a lot of new exciting innovations and a couple
suprizes - I cant let the cat out of the bag just yet....I hope to be there to
lend a hand and give out rides to corvair folk who can fit in the KR. Lots
happenin....
Bless you all - Bill
