[Leica] IMG: The Big Display Tent Comes Down

[Jim Nichols]

The final Regional Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Fly-In was 
held locally on Friday and Saturday, with visiting aircraft parked on 
both sides of a mile-long runway, and visitors bussed from parking lots 
to the display area all day long for two days. Most visitors were gone 
by late Sunday afternoon.  At the end of today (Monday), the most 
obvious thing remaining is the roof and metal structure of the main 
display tent.  Also around are some extra fuel trucks that were brought 
in for the occasion.

As I watched the sun settling in the west, I spoke to a young fellow 
standing at the gate, asking him if the pilot making takeoffs and 
landings had just soloed.  His response was, "That's my wife!".

I couldn't help but recall how it felt, over 60 years ago, when I soloed 
at the same airport.
