Hey Everybody!
I feel like it's been forever since I've been able to get on the forum. I've graduated from Sac State and started working as a Civil Engineer and have no life now!
Anyways, The 50th Annual Watsonville Fly-in occurred last weekend. Although a little light on the crowd department, it was still a great weekend to spend with friends. I camped out Friday and Saturday night.
My dad flew the M-4 and I flew our friend's L-19. This was actually the plane I did most of my PPL training in. However, the examiner didn't feel comfortable riding in it with me. So I finished my license off in a Citabria.
Anyways, here's the pictures.
The Strata Rocket got A LOT of attention out there. When we taxied in everyone was asking my dad what the h*ll he had under the cowl! The Franklin sure has an aggressive cam! Most people didn't seem to know it was a Maule (especially with the round wing tips).
Trying to catch up with my dad. the short wing Maule really moves!
The L-19 won best Military Liaison and I was lucky enough to wing the Youngest Pilot award (I tried very hard ).
Hopefully I'll become more active here on the forum now that I've settle into the new job. Hope everyone is doing well!

Nice pics. Watsonville is a great destination. I love the approach from the northeast over the Santa Cruz mountains. Just get out before the fog gets in and all is well.
Enjoy Kalifornia, my fellow Mauler, I miss it so much it breaks my heart.

Luckily the fog was nowhere to be seen that weekend! I was lucky to land a job close enough to home (AND in CA) so I'm still able to fly on the weekends. It doesn't look like we'll be getting much rain in the near future. My brother is going to college in Seattle; he's sad that he's away from the family hangar, but also from the flying weather we get down here.Mountain Doctor wrote:Nice pics.

Thanks! Apparently I would've won the "least distance flown" award as well. However, I was too embarrassed to write 19 nautical miles on the judging sheet for registration!
