The
Great October Fly-About
We
had a total of Seven Grummans for the Fly-About
The weather was great for the "First Annual October Fly-About" The skies were clear,the temperature was 75 degs. Everyone gathered at the Spring Valley Farm Airport (6GA4) (Home of ye olde web master) We did not visit all the airports we planned to visit.
We were having to much fun!

Tom Holer and Jerry Evans flew arrived from Dothan , AL in Tom's Traveler

Joel Elman took this shot of the two Tom's from Alabama
Joel also took this shot of Lisa. (She is probably going to hate it:-)
She probably likes this glamour shot better:-)
