Jed, it looks like you had a good turnout. :) Wish I could have made it.
 
It was good.....Friday had 13 aircraft show up, then 10 stayed overnight. 5 T-Crafts, 4 Cessna 140's and 1 Stinson (who came 310nm)......Saturday there were 23 airplanes on the ground at one time, and 1 helo.........5 aircraft stayed overnight Saturday, with the last one leaving at noon on Sunday.

Saw some visits from first time types. 2 Maules, a SeaRay, a Comanche, a Stinson and a Zenith (who knew TV's could fly?).

A hot air balloon launched from inside the Old Fort Saturday morning and a friend of Ron Posey brought out some remote controlled helicopters and airplanes.

Photos can be found at the website. http://fortparker.com/

Better see you here soon!

It's still a goal of mine. :yes: I've postponed meandering around Oklahoma and Texas until after we get back from Europe...probably in June.
 
It was the local EMS helo, they try and make most events.

Nick the balloon guy and crew could not have been nicer, and set up a movie screen Saturday night. We watched "Dr. Strangelove" with them.
 
What a neat airfield Jed and his helpers have developed! Thanks for the kind welcome, Jed. I wish you much success. You have done an outstanding job. We'll definitely be back. Sorry that I didn't have the time to stay longer, but I have a lot to do out at my little airport. :yesnod:

Sounds like fun! Makes me wish even more that I could have made it.

How is Texas in June?
 
For the past two years the first 5 days have been tolerable.

Hate to say, have flown most every kind.

It will be hot, but we have plenty of shade and water

Thanks, and understand that. I can work from sunup to sundown, and after, everyday, and still not get done all that needs to be done.

Come back again soon, and I will get up to your place soon.
