A collection of photos from the May, 2001 Fly-in at Porterville, CA |

 This photo of the early lineup in front of Bill Vandersande's hangar shows (L to R) Bill, Ernie Buenting, Tim Lucero, Mike Harms and Ben Favrholdt. |
 This has got to be some kind of a record for WAMM -- three generations of the Favrholdt family were in attendance. |
 Garry Gramman stands in front of Tony Terrigno, Ernie Buenting, Bill Vandersande, Dennis Vest, Jeff Palmer and Tim Lucero. It was 92 degrees in Bill's hangar. |

 Garry Gramman takes 119C for a stroll, showing how light these airplanes are. |
 Ben Favrholdt points out the left aileron movement on 66MX to his grand-nephew, Kai. |
 Tony Terrigno sits in Mike Harms' 201MM while Mike and Garry Gramman look in. |
|
 Mike Harms flew his big C-55 Mite, 201MM, instead of his LA to this year's fly-in. |
 Dennis Vest of Fort Bragg, CA is the new owner of 4154 and a first-time visitor to the Porterville.gathering. |
 An unfamiliar airplane, in this case Dennis Vest's 4154, always stirs a lot of interest. |
