Only the camera man is out in the noonday sun! (It was 103°) |
There was a very good turnout this year -- 11 Mites on hand. |
The Gang's late evening meal at Rustler's. |
Gil Gilbert drove his Arrow down from Kent, WA this time. |
Glenn Bell getting ready to leave for Oregon in his 'C-55. |
Tim Lucero departing in his comfortable old 1950 M-18C. |
It was good to see David Jappay back again in his 1954 M-18C. |
Ted Teach flew all the way from Ohio for his 4th WAMM Fly-in. |
First-time visitor, Jerry Johnston from Michigan kept Ted company. |
Corey Joekel came in a big Mooney. Notice Ted and Jerry plotting their
return flight. |
That's Barry Vaughan's M20K with Jerry's and Ted's M-18s |
Mal Gross flew down from Washington State in his 'C-55. |
Mal shows how easy it is for a 6'-2" pilot to slip into the
cockpit. |
Bob Katz took valuable time off to fly up from LA. |
Lots of help is available to attend to a minor problem. |
Fly-in regular Ernie Buenting departs in his nice-looking M-18C |
