WEATHER AND GAS UPDATE!!
Well guys, I have checked the weather for the Fly In coming up this weekend.
Looks like all three days are going to be in the mid to upper 60's. Perfect flying weather. Only a small chance of scattered showers 23-30% according to weather.com.
Gas is dropping steadily and is now below $3.00 a gallon out hear and there is plenty of it now. Should be close to $2.80 by the weekend if the current price drops continue.
Come on down and fly, fly, fly. The BBQ on Saturday will take your breath away and only $6.00 a plate.
NOT TO MENTION ALMOST $6000.00 in raffle prizes to giveaway.
SEE YA THERE!!!!!!!!!
