There were seven planes and fifteen people that made our Flabob
(RIR)
Fly-In on Sun, July 18.
Four planes flew from SEE: a Pits Special with

Andy and Mike; and a Skymaster with Robert, Kurt and John; and a C172 with
Jeff and Jerry.
Two planes flew from MYF: a C182 with Chris and Bret;
and a Skymaster with
One plane flew from French Valley: a Golden Eagle 421 with Bob Hemme,
David, Kyle, Chuck and Franklin.

Chris Claborne, our webmaster, and Bret Strain took some pictures of the
planes and people at RIR. Chris has his pictures on the website now and

Next Fly-In will be on Aug 15th to
Santa Paula (SZP). If temperatures at
SZP are still in the high 90s next month, we'll fly a little further west to
the coast to Camarillo (CMA) where it's 6-7 degrees cooler and Oxnard (OXR)
Best of clear skies and tailwinds,
