If I didn't learn anything else from this KR gathering (which was great Larry, but you already know that), I learned (I knew already just work didn't allow it this year) to get there early. This was the first gathering where I only attended on Saturday and left out on Sunday. I never drink the night before I fly so partying Saturday night was out of the question at the campsite. On the way over on Saturday I had to air file IFR to get through a weak cold front about 40 miles east of Evansville as a case in point. Anyway, sorry to the Canadian bunch who proclaimed there return from the banquet with a very loud and truly welcome "DANA, WE KNOW YOU'RE DOWN THERE" (Caps intended:-) followed by a single ship tent flyby where they got a call from the tent tower to "GO AWAY":-) If nothing else gang, this is why you attend the gathering. The planes are nice but remember, it's the people that make it great, the airplanes are just the icing on the cake. You can bet you bottom dollar we will be at the gathering next year no later than Friday for the informal Friday night forum. Gang, the camping area Larry had available was fantastic. Tent door opening to a great lake view, nice flat camping with a covered picnic table area along with 4-5 permanent grills................all except for those !#$%@$%^&% trains!! Back to the people. I was able to put so many faces to names it was truly wonderful. All those offers of accomodations when you get your KRs flying and I get "Black Magic" off the ground next hold true and we'll take ya up on it:-) So, on the soapbox..............before you flame somebody on the KRNet, just remember he/she just may be that person you end up sitting next to at the banquet and realize it was in fact you who was the @#$hole in the exchange and there really is a face to name. I showed the Dynon so much the 2.5 hour internal battery crapped out on Sunday morning:-) BTW, the single ship tent flyby obeyed the instructions form ATC to vacate the airspace:-) GREAT Gathering, thanks again Larry.
