Hey, Scott, nice photos thanks for sharing with those of us who didn't make it {:>).  I noticed that the clouds were heavy even way west at Linconia.  Just reaffirms my decision to stay on the ground.
 
Nice shots of the missing-man formation in honor of George Graham - will sure miss that guy.

You're right Buly.  But, after several very exciting encounters with low ceilings, 20 minutes in icy IMC conditions and encountering a squall line in Louisiana that took a few years off my youth, -  I repeatedly made promises to never, never get into similar situations again - I'm not going to - not even for pizza {:>)
 
Yeah, Scott lives about 30 miles west of me and the ceilings lifter from west to east, I guess I'm not living right, but then we really needed the rain.
 
Glad enough made if for a good turn out.

Ed, you just plain chickened out :) Your neighbor flew in with his C-152 ? Even I made it. Your piece of pizza was very good.

Just go off the phone with Laura Crook, appears a good crowd made it to Shady Bend with 5 rotary powered aircraft showing up.  Low ceilings precluded me taking off for the last 3 days.  I thought I would make it today, but the ceilings just hung around until around 1330.  Too late to launch, sigh!
 
There are apparently 5 rotary powered aircraft there with Dave Lenoard taking the award for longest flight (from West Coast), Rich is there with Rusty's old Rv-3.
 
Max Lassacher out of New York with a rotary powered Falcon-air and I were both planning on being there but the weather cnx us out. 
 
Well, always next year.
 
Hopefully someone there will give us a full up report
