KVIS,....We Had a very god gathering this year!!! Thankyou to everyone that attended!! Some folks made a long haul to attend and this is much appreciated. The girls prepared a dyno Mexican food meal and everyone really enjoyed themselves. We had new Thorpers!!!! Brent and Renee, thanks for being there Guys. We had a new builder out of Fresno, Mr. Phil Cantrell, Thanks very much for comming Phil. Cubes kept busy for a bit going up with Thorpers in there birds and showing them how to get wrong side up. Thanks Dean and Melonie, thanks Ira and Missy for all the help and support you all went above and beyond the call by a bunch. Our official Photo man Mr. Rich Brazell will probably have some photos of the event for viewing. I can't say thanks enough to those that were there, it makes all of the prep work more than worth it and then some, you are all very much appreciated. Dan

Just a heads up for you guys coming in a day early, you need to change your reservations...........

Dan and everyone at KVIS, thanks for so much for hosting a great event. And thank the EAA chapter for the use of their park. So glad I made it!

It was a great fly-in Dan... thanks so very much to all of you for making it one of the best ever! The food was really special... you & Ira are a couple of very lucky guys! It was also good to meet some of the guys from this forum face to face. What a great group of good people to share a weekend with!

Made it home in about 5.1 hrs. I got up high and put the oxygen on... was seeing 190 to 200 mph ground speed for a good portion of the trip, then really got kicked around by turbulence over the Rockies. Man, there are a lot of mountains (and MOAs) between Denver and Visalia!

Thanks again for a wonderful time!
