2007 Fly-In Pool Party

On Saturday, July 21st, 2007, we threw our 5th Annual Iowa City Fly-In Pool Party.  The weather was perfect, and we were rewarded with our best attendance yet -- over 25 aircraft flew into Iowa City specifically for the party, resulting in over 75 people enjoying the event!

To say we were overwhelmed was an understatement.  Being an Open House-style event, the arrivals usually come in well-spaced apart -- but not this year!   Jay spent literally all day running the hotel's courtesy van back and forth to the ramp, shuttling party-goers to-and-from the event.  In fact, we eventually pressed one of our guests -- a Cajun cook from Louisiana -- into performing the Grillmeister duties.   There was simply no other way to get the food cooked.

We had more RVs on the ramp than any other aircraft type...

In fact, we had more RVs in Iowa City than I've ever seen before outside of Oshkosh!

We had TWO brand-new RV-10s...
