Well we ad it and in the mornib=ng when i got there it was drizzling , but it CLEARED UP and we got to fly the kids. I did 9 Flights and flew 8 kids,5 adults and 1 dog. The search and rescue dogs where there and the lady asked if i would fly one of them so she would now how he would act if tey had to fly to a rescue. He was Fine ,sat in the back seat and looked out the window. Thanks for those that kept their finger crossed for good Wx .

Dave, I recall you telling me that your first GA flying started at an event benefiting children of special needs, and it is absolutely awesome that you remain committed to such service, yourself. Good karma, there!

Thanks for sharing.
 
I thought you'd get some time in the air. It cleared up pretty well for some trips around the pattern at least. I recall last year was a total wash for you. Its good you had it on Saturday rather than yesterday!

Yes we did. And next year i expect you to be there too.
Bob Ciotti was supposed to be there but as he says HE FORGOT.
It is always the first Saturday in May.
I got a Email today and it said we did 440 take off and landing in 5 hours
And yes adam i'm glad it was Saturday and not Sunday.

It was a Nice thing the rain stoped right before we had the pilots meeting.

Well there are Special Need Dogs. There was three of them there this year 1 was Deaf and Blind,1 had something wrong with it's back legs and they made him a wheelchair, the other one couldn't walk at all. But the dog i flew was a Search and Rescue Dog ,they wanted to know how he would react if they had to fly him somewhere.He Did just fine he layed on the back seat and looked out the window.
