1999 Krazy Snow Fly
December 31, 1999The weather couldn't have been any better for a winter day. If you missed this event, you missed one of the largest gatherings of pilots at our field. Over thirty pilots attended. By 10:00 the bonfire was roaring and the coffee and chili were brewing. Once again we had only light snow on the field so skis were not required. The flight lines were busy all morning.
Lunch time arrived and everyone headed for the shelter to fill up on hot, homemade chili and hot dogs. Before I knew it, the four gallons of chili were gone. Next year we will have to have two pots of chili cooking.
At 1:00 the drawing was held for ten $10 gift certificates. The flying continued after the drawing. The weather continued to be excellent. Plan to attend next year's event and get in some winter flying.
I would like to thank Bob Donahue for helping me set up in the morning. And also Craig White for donating all the wood for the bonfire. See you again next year.
