September 7-8, 2007

Hosted by Chris Floyd

 

The Gold Country Fly-In, hosted by Chris Floyd and Drew Stidger was great.  More than 30 Mooneys showed up as well as 30-40 Muscle Cars.  The weather was perfect as always, but a little exciting flying over California with most of the state shrouded in smoke.  It all started on Friday with a catered dinner at the winery.  On Saturday morning, breakfast started at 8am with eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes.  Then lots of Mooney Wing Talking followed by lunch at 12:30 with BBQ'd chicken and tri-tips!

It was a lotta fun sharing the ramp with some very cool muscle cars, some of which were probably older than some of our vintage Mooneys.  I think we collected more than $800 for the Fire Fighter's Burn Institute.  Thanks to all for that!

A special thanks to Chris Floyd for doing yet another superb planning and execution of what is becoming a legendary Fly-In.  The parking & safety crew was flawless as well as the Grill Team!!!  And if all that wasn't good enough, we had a great band with "Over the Edge" who entertained us all over lunch.

See everyone at our next fly-in to on September 21-22 at the West Coast Seaplane Festival.  We have been invited as guests and it should be a lotta fun.
