We were not to be disappointed. Ernie and his group treated our group to a wonderful breakfast with hot off the grill pancakes, bacon/sausage, eggs, homemade rolls, real maple syrup and an abundance of tea, coffee juices........it was one of the best breakfasts this person ever had! The hospitality was no less inviting and we were made to feel right at home doing the things our group does best....eating and talking! It really does not get much better.
We also met long time friends Arnie B. and Lorraine who were there as well. Arnie and his brother flew in and Lorraine and friends drove. It was good to see both.
The main event, the airplanes at least for this spectator are always an interesting event. Just watching them coming in and landing or taking off or just in static position are all very nice to see. Even more interesting are the number of home built aircraft that always show up at this event. I was speaking with one of these fellows who spent more then 11 years constructing his. The workmanship and pride of ownership was outstanding. While the low ceiling (aircraft talk for low clouds) limited the number of planes this year, there were still lots of planes to view and lots of interesting stories from the pilots and builders of these small aircraft. They obviously enjoy their airplanes as much as we do our LBCs (car talk for Little British Cars).
We all thank Jim and Ellie for organizing this event for us and of course many thanks to Ernie and the organizers of the event who invited us. It is always a treat to attend this event!
Please check out the pictures on the site.
Thanks everyone. Hope to see many of you on PEI in a few weeks.
