John Spurling's Fly-In

October, 2003

John's 2nd Fly-In with another great time.

Folks were there from just about every state and Canada too.
If you could imagine a mix like that how could it be anything but fun.

 
Special Thanks once again to John, His family and Neighbors on the airport
especially Neil who graciously provided Donna and I with electric and water for our bus.

Most of these pics were provided to us from Joe Hudson, Thanx Joe!

Helicopters Everywhere!

Dropping in for lunch at Judy Ann's

John had a special meeting to provide information and a possible fix for our infamous problem with our secondary drive shaft.

Party Time in Oklahoma

There were two dinners, one Friday night and yet another on Saturday night. Friday nite we were entertained by Randy and his friend Steve who sang for us and then when they were all used up, lol, they handed over the microphones to the Kareoke folks who also had a blast (Donna, Travis, Bob, Joe & Terry).  Even had some dancing as you can see from the pics.

Saturday night was also the night when the winner of the poker run was awarded a high end superduper duper Garmin GPS unit.

Special Thanks for this event go to Chris and Greg who set it all up.

This is a map showing where the cards could be found.

This is the lucky winner Kristine Uppman,

She's the gal sitting in the middle

Good food, Good drinks and Great People

This was a pretty neat Bell Helicopter that was at the fly in.

From what the owner told us if we got it all correctly, Bell only made a total of 33 of these machines. Of that there are only 14 left in existence and only 7 still flying today. The rest are in someone's project hanger or hung up on a pole for display somewhere.
