My biggest regret is that I haven't had a camera in my pocket at all
times... like our first sitting in the restraunt eating my first Navajo
taco and watching a kolb ra pilot do some exercises,, trying to taxi
across the tie down cable and standing his kolb on its nose! It has
brought a grin to my face just thinking about it.....he could admit to it if
he wants... john W do you remember who that was? LOL Or trying to fly
formation,,,, very loose formation,, and ending up all over the sky,,,, a
pilot with a broken mic cord, directing formation fling with morse code
clicks on the mike. Listening to the war stories, and hanger flying,,,
myself and a half dozen Navaho kids holding up the wing on a Cessna while
the owner changes a tire.... does anyone have a tube patching kit? I have
had wonderful times. I'll see everyone in may. I will not miss it
without good reason, even if I have to drive.
Yes john it has been that long.

Ps. It would be nice to hear your best memories.
Do not archive.

It is a great flyin, one that I have had the honor and priviledge of
attending since its inception in 2003. Has it really been that long? This
year will be number 6.

Boyd:
Never a dull moment at MV.
Last year Artie's friend tried to take out our buddy Rick Neilsen on take off. We got that one on video somewhere.
And the RV4 that landed at dark, then had an excursion off the dirt strip and into the desert. Was an abrupt end to his journey from California, IIRC. Also, after the incident, the pilot and crew could not be found.
Of interest is the fact that we have not had an engine failure at MV, 2 or 4 stroke. 
Two years ago Bill ground looped his old Luscombe on landing.
Don't think we have has a Kolb incident yet.
For those folks that come to the flyin by ground, remember that some of us that fly spend two and a half days flying to get there, 15 to 20 hours of flight time. If you find us sitting on the ground most of the time, it is because it feels good for old folks to take a break from flying now and then. Also, this is also just the beginning of the journey for some of us. From MV we will fly to the Rock House of Larry and Karen Cottrell, just south of Burns Junction, Oregon, by way of who know's where, sight see after departure from Larry's, and then have to fly back home to Texas and Alabama. I'll end up with about 75 hours or more on this trip.
Soon as I get home from MV, it is clean up, pack up, and fly to Homer's in PA.
Then to Nauga Field, in LA; on to OSH; and finally, The Kolb Homecoming 2008 which will probably be held a weekend earlier than normal, the third weekend of September rather than the last.
By that time, I should be pretty familiar with my old mkIII.
