I don't know why that would be, but it seems like
Oregon folks are much more actively involved in
aviation.
Remember Bob Saville's Ercoupe fly-ins? He could get
quite a few people out to his little grass strip.
Another example that you probably all have read about
is the Noon Patrol in Independence OR. They are the
EAA Chapter 292 guys that collectively built several -
14 or 15 ? replica Nieuport 11s to completion. Amazing
organizational skills and spirit of cooperation among
those guys.
I am a Calfornia native, but I have to say, I can't
imagine a group of Californians pulling that off.
Sorry. No offense intended. Just reporting what I have
observed. (Exception is the Golden West Regional
Fly-In at Yuba County Airport. Those CA folks put on
an excellent event.)
