Annual Fly-In and Maintenance Seminar 2011

We try to schedule our annual Maintenance Seminar and FlyIn the first weekend in October. Traditionally we will have a delicious chicken dinner catered by Devon's Restauraunt, followed by a short seminar with slide show presented by John Sjaardema, our president, CEO and senior IA. The weather cooperated beautifully this year allowing 30+ aircraft to attend.

Thanks to Gregg and MaryLou Erickson for the great photo coverage of the event!
