Ames Multi-Fly Saturday September 5
 

Just 4 more days to the only multi-engine meet I know of!

One day only, right off the freeway

11 Trophies, $1,700 worth of prizes you really want, and Hickory Park BBQ

We welcome any military or classic aircraft, also, and we have a good time: no "snooty 'tudes!"

Hey, good luck with your event. Hope it is a success, as it always is

I miss Hickory Park

I am gonna be there .. and quite a few of the guys in my club with 1/4 Balsa USA Warbirds will be too !

WW1 planes make me smile ;)

Field and runway look good

Soybeans all around this year, so no high corn to contend with

We'll mow tomorrow

Saturday Weather: partly cloudy, 90 degrees with (thank Goodness!) a South breeze at 10-13 mph

Flying starts at 0900, BBQ at about 11-1

I greatly look forward to the multi-wing congregation!

I've heard the guys have been prepping and bench flying the WW1's already...anxious and waiting..

The Multi-Fly went very well, despite a lot of last-minute angst on my part

33 pilots, more than 160 sorties, wind straight down the runway all day

5 four-engine bombers flew, although not all at once.

WWI enthusiasts from south-central Iowa have become a very enjoyable part of the event. Watching them fill the sky with way-more-aircraft-than-we-usually-allow, like a swarm of hornets, is quite the thrill

I was forced to give the "Best WWI" trophy to my buddy foodstick's (above) Sopwith, despite fears I might be accused of undue influence. Just too many great planes and great influence in the genre

Thanks all for coming, all

We enjoy being a little "niche" event with such a high-caliber bunch of regular pilots that true crashes are a rarity

And that means YOU, too, Caden

If you ever wondered what it looked like from above .....

Hi Mark.

Just wanted to let you and the yellow shirts know that the Dyersville crew really had a great time at the Ames show. Unbeleivable aircraft there, great flying (especially the jet guy), great food and pretty amazing prizes. We had a blast and are looking forward to next years show.

Thanks for everything
Bill

Thanks, Bill

Y'all are the stars of the show.

We got a front page write-up in the Ames Tribune today: no factual errors and over a dozen pilots pictured

Overall, good publicity for the hobby, I think
