We had a successful gathering at Peach State Aerodrome. Weather was CAVU with temperatures ranging from high 60's to mid-70's. Eight people, in four planes, attended: Larry and Shelley Hayes ('55 170B) from Clanton, AL, J.D. Smith and son Rhett ('50 170A) from Helena, AL, Todd Thaxton ('55 170B) and friend from Williamson, GA, and Jim and Lolly Wildharber ('55 170B) from Kennesaw, GA.
The Barnstormers Grill was not crowded, and food and service were excellent. We spent a lot of time at the grass parking ramp looking over each others planes and talking shop. The big surprise though was the local EAA were holding an event at the field also. Lots of the planes from the local area were present: Cubs, STOL taildraggers, various models of RV's, Stinsons, various mix of Bonanzas and Cessnas, plus a beautiful polished/blue striped DC-3. When Lolly and I entered the landing patter area two different groups of RV's were to the south practicing formation flying. Adjacent to the Grill, a maintenance and instruction hangar used to introduce the younger generation to aviation was open with display items. Chairs and tables were setup for activities later in the day.
All in All, it was a great day!
