Yea a solo trip from CA would be pricy...but if a group of say 4 got together & shared the transportation expenses it should be reasonable at todays local gas prices of $2.09 p/g.

Looking thru the northern side ,actually this one was the best jet meet off 2015 summer,all off the other jet meets was little on the wet or windy side just "Mother Nature" this jet meet will always be on my must to go list all best friends new and old + the super low traffic on the flight line all of as good and new pilots are able to fly stress free with all the help from more expiriance pilots ,the hotel so close practically no time waisted for driving to the flying field ,this year the airport chef offer to as free 200 gallons of jet A fuel ,yes for free with the ride to the pump and back to the flight line big thanks this was something special ,I'm only little disappointed at my self to not fly my T-33 will do the next time ,thanks to all for super time you guys are the best wish more jet pilots will visit this jet meet to expiriance this special place where all jet model pilots are welcome .

Thanks to Ron & Sharon Colbert for selecting this year's beautiful "laser blue" trophy design.
The picture doesn't due justice to the blue glow they give off up close.

Paul Applebaum deservedly received the "Special Recognition" trophy for his scratch built C-17. Plugs, molds, prototype plane. Two years work in progress so far. It's a flying work of art and skill, with much more detailing to come. It's in the LMTA class, and has all the proper inspection documentation in order. Paul flew the plane repeatedly, and with authority, numerous times over the weekend. We look forward to it's further refinements at future events.
