Thomas,



I know this is short notice, but we decided to do the Cameron Park Fly-in at 

least one more time.  June 10th.  www.cameronparkkitfox.com

The attached message was intended to go to Thomas Lee direct. I guess I 

don't have his e-mail address but suspect he still lurks on the list.



For everyone else, Kay and I are busy getting all in order for the annual 

party and hope all that can will come.   It will be a good opportunity for 

those that have not yet had the opportunity to meet John and Debra McBean 

the new owners of Kitfox.

Thanks, Lowell and Kay for a great  fly-in and BBQ!



There were a lot of beautiful planes there. Nice to see folks we  

haven't seen for a year or so.   What was the final aircraft count?   

Was it an all time high?

I'm so bummed. I really wanted to go, but it was my daughter's birthday, 

(she's 5,) and, you know... Fortunately or unfortunately It wouldn't have 

happened for me anyway, as we've been socked in the marine layer for weeks, 

and I'm only VFR. Next year I'll be there WITH a Kitfox! (Can you say... 

SCUD RUN!)

Allan,



Thank you so much.  I think I enjoyed this one more than any of the others. 

Maybe it is because I am retired now and the preparations were more 

leisurely.  I will have to post a more detailed report later wheb I have a 

more exact airplane count. I have found that it is almost impossible to 

count the airplanes  I talked to John McBean about last year which had set 

all the records - my recollection was that 22 Kitfoxes were here - his count 

was 23.   I like his numbers better.  My feeling is that we had more 

airplanes of all types here than at any other BB-Q, but not sure of the 

Kitfoxes.



I would like to thank all who came.  We provide a venue and menu basics for 

the BB-Q, but the other vulunteers -  Three local non Kitfox friends Wayne 

and Rick and the Stearman guy, Craig who always run the grill,  Terry 

Kobylczak, a Model IV builder, who always brings the buns, and especially 

all the great people who came, are the ones that really make the whole thing 

what it has become.



My greatest disappointment is when I scan the cards that people fill out and 

I find some names I would like to have spent more time with - Chris Engler, 

who is from Chenango Forks, NY and building a Series 7, Scott and Michelle 

Denniston, CO who dropped their trailer off at a neary trucktop and came in 

the sleeper tracter that they call home while on the road, and lots of 

others who came.



The registration cards suggest a count of about 77 , add the bicyclist we 

cornered and forced a hamburger on and assorted neighbors, we had about 90 

for lunch.  I tried three times to walk the street and count the airplanes 

and as usual, found numerous people along the way that I wanted to talk to 

and promptly lost count.  I also tried three times to photograph all the 

airplanes and I think that is going to provide for the final airplane count. 

I must say here that a group of Rans folks crashed the party  and they 

will be in the final aircraft tally, but definitely not in the important 

one.  It was good for John's potential customers to see them side-by-side. 

Sorry to the Rans folks that might be lurking or participating on the list, 

but I am quite proud of this prejudice - again .



I am thinking of putting all the photos I can round up on a CD and sent them 

out to those interested and can do that for a couple of dollars I think - 

let me know if interested - lcfitt(at)sbcglobal.net .



The Idaho and Nevada contingents went out flying this morning, intending to 

fly to Fraser Lake a small private airport near the coast with two runways, 

one water and one grass.  I started with them and after three stops at 

various tempting spots and lots of talk, I was completely out of gas - 

adrenaline - and thought it prudent for me to get home and just sit quietly 

for a few hours.  The others are near home now, as I write, and we have been 

invited to dinner at a neighbor and fellow Model IV pilot, Wray Flemming's 

home, so enough for now.



Thanks again.



Lowell

All,

Sounds like it was a great time! I would live to be able to make it next 

year (or the next) hope it will still be happening.
