The morning of September the 10th brought with it unseasonably warm weather, clear blue skies and a just a light breeze, perfect weather for the Stetson Flyers annual Giant Scale Rally and Pig Roast. We had the best turnout we’ve had in a few years, lots of planes, few mishaps, plenty of great flying and a lot of fun. This is an event I cohost with my good friend Ed and along with his help this year Emmanuel, Paulo, Don, Gerry and Dan all pitched in to make the two day event a great success. Ed out did himself with the pig this year as evidenced by the distinct lack of leftovers. Slowly cooked all day over a hardwood fire is what delicious. We served just over 60 people for dinner.

After dinner we had a campfire and the laughs and good times carried on until the early hours of the morning. Sunday the weather was just as nice as Saturday and again we got in plenty of flying. A great time was had by all in attendance even though some of us might have been a little slower moving than usual.

Rene let me warm up for the day of flying by taking the sticks of his Taylor Craft and I was quite pleasantly surprised at just how nice a plane it is to fly. Thanks Rene!

Larry and Goose were both out on Saturday to capture the events on film errr sort of. Click the photo below to check out Larry’s galleries. Goose hasn’t posted his shots yet but I’ll post a link when he gets them online. Thanks guys!

Thanks to everyone that came out to enjoy the event and those that helped out.

Happy Landings
