A big thanks to Rex and his crew for a great Skymaster flyin. Great food, good fuel price but most of all a nice group of very very nice folks. Great story by LtCol Jackson as he described his tour of duty in VN flying the O2A plane. Over all I rate this meet a four star performance. Got to see old friends and meet new ones. Thanks Rex!
Cheers Jerry

Rex and crew did a fantastic job welcoming the Skymaster Owners and Pilots. They made us feel like family. Home cooked food, gracious service and a friendly atmosphere all the way around. Mike "Scoop" Jackson was a treat to listen to, you need to get his book "Naked in Da Nang" all about flying the O2 Skymaster in Vietnam.

Herb just cost me money
Bummed I couldn't make the fly-in....sounds like it was great.
On a related note - there is a cool annual river float event this weekend in my hometown of Laughlin, NV (yes, moved from NC a ways back)....if anyone flys in their Skymaster to KIFP, park next to mine and ping me. Herb - you cost me money with your post. I clicked the link to buy the book, and then ended up on Amazon for the next 30 mins buying a lot of other things, just because i was there

Regrets for not making it. First time it was close enough to come to, but the weekend after OSH was just not in the schedule. (That said, if my wife and kids had come back one day later in their leisurely drive back from AirVenture, I would have been there.) Maybe next year!

skymaster fly-in
On behalf of Rex
I want to give a shout out to all of you who took the time and burned your gas to make this years gathering such a joy for us. You're certainly a humble and fun group. I regret not taking the microphone to tell you a little about Rex. He is passionate about Skymasters,aviation in general,and keeping his family airport thriving. He usually has free hotdogs on Saturdays for anyone stopping by,and he is currently starting a flight academy for young teens at a ridiculously low price to get them started. Well thanks again, good show! If anyone can order up the same great weather for next year I think we can talk him into doing it again.
