Challenger 26 Anniversary fly-in 19 of September. 

Wow, what a weekend!  Sue and I would like to thank everybody who helped make this weekend a big success.  For all of the helpers who got the airpark ready, thanks!   Without you we could not have had the Fly In. 

We would also like to thank everybody who helped pull the weekend off.  There are so many things that needed to be done, and you all did it.  The Dawn Patrol breakfast was great, as were the evening cookouts.  Thanks for the food cooked all day by Danny Boys.  Thanks for the DeWitt Snack shack, Nice sweets and cool drinks.  

Thanks to all those who attended, Especially those of you who flew in, that’s why everyone enjoys this weekend, to come and see the planes from all over.  A big thank you to the Challenger team for a great plane. 

All in all this was a great fly in.  When the dust settles and things get back to normal we will start planning the 27th Challenger fly in.  See you next year!  Sue and Jim.
