Yeah, weather is horrible here and our lights are flickering. There are power outages. I'm bringing spare everything in case our tent is gone. Looks like you guys up there have round 2 coming. I could fly in later but I really don't want to miss the gathering at 7th Heaven.

All, once again Kathy and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing our location with all who came for the cookout and night airshow. It’s about the people that makes the event!
Again, thanks for coming!

Awesome gathering! Thanks Wayne and Kathy! Great to meet some folks and see some familiar spaces.

Somebody needs to Photoshop Robbie into the picture.

Indeed, thanks for being fabulous hosts and sharing 7th Heaven with us all!

My only gripe is that folks didn’t let me pitch in more to help! As a first-timer I was “behind the power curve” in a different sort of way. ;-)

It was great to meet all of you, and I look forward to doing so again in the future!
