Just returned from Arlington with a sunburn and good memories. It was hard
to focus on the continual arrivals and departures, or even the airshows. It
seems as though there was a Kitfox or an Avid at every turn. The group of
five planes from Corona Ca were there with a Kitfox flown by Pete Joseph and
an Avid flown by John Miller. There was Doug Nelson in a KF light squared
who had been in Oregon the year before and remembered seeing me unloading
sand bags after testing my Avid.
The most innovative thing I saw was a set of landing lights on Jeff Smathers
plane that sit folded forward in behind the belly rad until a slip upon
approach forces the air to extend them. Of course there were many other
show quality planes to learn from as well.
I lost count, but a quick list of those I met were: Joel Mapes, Gary Randal,
Don Mcintosh, Mark and Tye Ferkin, Bruce Hoisington, Jeff and Tina Smathers,
John Stoner, Mick Thiesen (Hey), Mark Donahue, Terry Black, Ben and Roberta
Travis, Sedro Wooley, and Sylvan Adamson.
Special thanks to John Stoner for the free coffee at the cub booth and Mic
for the good nature while ribbin his Canadian accent. Sorry for those I
mispelled or forgot. If Don Pearsell or others made it sound off. Pics
are Mic Theisen by an Avid, and the big guy under the Cub Is John Stoner
Later Ron NB Oregon (OTH)

Sorry Jeff As I said there was so much going on and so many faces my
feeble memory could not keep up. I believe they flew in and camped under
wing, but I had to start keeping a list just to get the names. The Oshgosh
crowd could make good use of cell phones with chargers, and a camera that
can be kept handy. I wish I had gotten pics of each owner by their planes.

I think I was very partial to this kitfox, I think it was the best one.

believe it or not, the tent is about 20 years old. When I went through all my stuff, I found my new tent was much heavier that this one, so I brought this one, than later on I was looking at the plane from a distance and said, wow, the colors all match, cool.
