Lee Walton, Wendell and I plan to be there. We'll try to get there in time for the C-130 tour. I suspect we'll all be solo, but Maxine may be able to go with me.

I had been in a holding pattern not sure how things were going to work out. I got a call today and we are supposed to pick up our interim Thorp June 7. That means David and Karen Read should arrive on Friday.

OK, T-minus 7 days!

Scott how many are you expecting?

Looks like (Thorp count)...

<3> FL gang (Les' airplane is an honorary T-18)
<3> GG Flight
<1> Steve H.
<1> David Read
<1> Scott H

That makes 9 airplanes ... there has to be more than that!? Right?

Right now I count 20 folks and 10 planes (Richard Bentley will also be flying in). Scott Ginn is also trying to airline in depending on his work schedule. I'm not sure if Nicky Buchanan and Bob Berning have airplanes but they are both attending, as well.

Ten is a good number, maybe there will be some unannounced visitors. I think we had about 10 out in Salt Lake in 2009. ... that was a good one!

Tough call...come by E City first. If we're not there, go to Kitty Hawk. It's only a 10 min flight. If you can stay, lunch is at. 1230.

David and Karen made it home in our interim thorp after 5.3 hours on Sunday. We had great time. Scott is an excellent host. Can't wait to do it all again. See y'all at oshkosh.

N589LW made it back home in about 7.5. I escorted the "Greens" as far as our first fuel stop in TN, then sent them due West as I headed towards Houston.

It was an outstanding weekend, Scott you really outdid yourself!

Thank you!

Some preview pics ... more to come.

On the way, Gary Green in the lead, Wendell Green in the number 2 position and me back too far again, still need to work on that!

Home base

Bob Highley, Bill Williams, Les Conwell, Lee Walton, Wendell Green, Scott Hinton, Nicky Buchanan, Steve Hawley, Richard Bentley, David Read

Les' new machine, mark my words, if I ever build anything but a T-18, it will be one of these! Absolutely gorgeous!

2 of the 3 musketeers ... Kitty Hawk

Bob's flawless new paint job

... and Bill's as well (you can still smell the paint on this one) .. check out the "I survived Sun n Fun 2011" logo on the tail.

N589LW in front of the monument

Hallowed Ground

David Read's inter-um T-18 off the wing.

Scott Hinton's machine and David Read overhead. Yours truly in the lead airplane ... Scott wanted to see what his plane looked like from the ground. Lucky me, what a perfectly tuned airplane Walt built!

Back at the "Thorp Club" for Happy Hour

and again ..

On the way home, you fellas who let your Thorps sit and collect dust, this is what you are missing.
