Milton, I live about 70 miles south of Cincinnati right off of Interstate 75. this is the main Highway route from Cincy to Florida. My KR is hanger'd in Georgetown Kentucky about 40 to 50 miles south of Cincy.
On weekends a few of the Georgetown/Lexington pilots will fly up to Lunken airport for lunch. It is just outside of Lexington and has a really nice FBO , restaurant and is a throw back to the days of the 30's and 40's. It even has an old Aeronica hanging from the ceiling and the building seems to be architecture from the 20's. There is also a pilot store there as well. Of course Sporty's is also near to Cincy. I plan to go to Sun N Fun, hopefully flying my VW powered KR. There are a couple of other KR people here in this area as well, in different stages of construction. When you get in the area, I would be glad to catch up with you. Jeff York Lexington, KY.

This boat, with 66 year old Ken Warby as the pilot, will attempt a new world water speed record in Australia in the next few years, and the demonstration runs to be held in Florida will happen in conjunction with the American AMF Off Shore Racing boat teams. A great chance for those interested in speed and History to see something to remember. There will not be a lot of publicity, but we will be towing the boat (Aussie Spirit) from Ohio on about 28th or 29th March to Crescent City & St Cloud Florida...not sure of details > I may be a little busy to have a chat at times as I will be filming the happenings, but if there are any KR people out there and in that area, please come and say hi. > > > > > > > Milton Gilfillan > Nu-Era Productions Pty.
