Greetings to the BEST PILOTS AROUND!!!!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you who came to support the re-opening of Prickett Grooms Airfield. Without PLANES AND PILOTS a Fly In just isn't a Fly In!!!!
We truly appreciate the effort that you all made to make Saturday such a great success. To have the turn out that we had, with both planes and people, exceeded all that we expected-- and that is a wonderful thing!
We also know that some of you went that "extra mile" to get there -- and get HOME! Whether it was just to pop in for a quick lunch, or whether you stayed and camped, you all contributed to the event in ways that you may never imagine. What you all did by coming, giving rides, mixing and mingling brought excitement and life back into a tiny little town and this will be talked about- I would guess- for quite some time.
As you know, we were also flying by the seat of our pants (geez I'm full of puns today aren't I?) Since Brad and I have not yet attended a Fly In and this is all quite new to us, we would appreciate any feedback that you would care to give. Some of us got a chance to brainstorm just a little on what we could do to make it better. That being said, if this is to be an annual event, we could use advice on just about everything.
To those who left behind "supplies" at the bunkhouse, I guess that means you have to come back to either get your stuff or at least use again what you left behind! It will be waiting for you should you choose to return, which we certainly extend that welcome to you. And it need not be limited to just another Fly In. If schedules permitted, and we are at camp, we certainly would love to have you drop in-- well not literally.
Also we would like to have all of your mailing addresses as we have a little token of our appreciation that we would like to send to you. Words just cannot express how we feel-- how wonderful you all were, how much we enjoyed getting to meet all of you. We would have planned things a little better had we had a little extra time.
The plaque is hanging proudly in the Pilot's Lounge. As soon as time allows, we will be finishing up the interior. That gesture was above and beyond and we are humbled by your gift and presentation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!

Didn't notice until I was in the air. I changed from "Pilot Kent" to "Pirate Kent" the rest of the day. Arrr!
