Hey, everybody!

Went to the West Coast Bellanca fly-in in Columbia, Caifornia this past weekend! I stayed Friday and Saturday night. My dad flew up in a Citabria and stayed with me Saturday night. The Bellanca club members sure are a great bunch, and this is my fourth year of attendance in a row. I'm greeted with, "Hey, it's that kid who shows up every year to the Bellanca fly-in in a Maule" LOL!


Anyways, here's the pics:

1. Nothing like camping next to an airplane! https://www.flickr.com/photos/garrettgr ... otostream/

2. Always need to give it a good bath before a fly-in.

3. Always a happy camper!

5. A friend gave us a low pass in his cruisemaster. What a beautiful airplane

Take care, everyone

Having had one of each it's hard not to like them both. The Citabria was fun to fly with my limited aerobatic skills but the Muale allows me to take the family out for those get a ways that wouldn't fit in the Citabria. sounds like you have the best of both.

Well said. I know my Champ will need to go since the Maule came to live here but not quite yet.
