And before everyone starts asking what this is all about, see the threads from the last almost 20 years in this section! I can't hope to do justice to the wonderfulness that is the Fredericks' hospitality in a single post.

You shoulda seen what it was like on board!
But yeah, that's why I went up for a test flight empty. Perf charts said I could do it loaded, but with very little margin. There are lots of variables on grass fields especially, so I wanted to see what real world might look like with more of a margin (thanks to leaving a few hundred pounds behind). And that's why everyone else left with Ed, and I picked them up at KLNL.
At least I haven't heard any more whining about what a wimp I am.

What are the chances of actually seeing an aurora at this fly-in? I have never seen one, but southern Indiana is usually too far south.
Also I don’t like crowds and I’m nervous about flying so far from home. But I like camping, grass strips, and small towns, so there is that.

That all depends on solar activity. We have seen them a few times, but no guarantee.
