"War Birds Over Arkansas"   Eureka Springs Ark. June 2010

Several of us attended the War Birds Over Arkansas in Eureka Springs Ark. in June of 10.  From Our club Dallas, Kenny & wife Ronda and I plus there were members of the Sooner Sq. of Guthrie and some from Texas.  The last count I had was we had brought more than 20 flyers & wives.  The motel guy was very happy, we filled him up.   I wish I had got pictures of us sitting around the bon-fire at the motel, the Jack Daniels, Rum & beer helped relax  the mood.    Our motel commendations were super and the price was right, Dallas & I shared a room Thur., Fri. & Sat nights for a total of $100.00 each.   This area is a great place to bring the wives, there are plenty for them to do & see or just relax around the pool.   Of course sitting round the bonfire in the evening with some cold beers was great! The flying was great, all three days, Tom Hammer and his volunteers hosted an excellent event.  Tom said this was the largest group that has ever attend the event.  As usual, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have but I was having too much fun. We plan to go again next year.

 

   
  Dale Locander ( a major player in hosting this event) got married at the flyin' field the Wednesday tonight before the event, What better way to start off a marriage, She is a flyer too.  Super nice guy, he presented our  group with a very nice coffee cup.

   Again this year Bill wowed the crowd with the Sprit and his sound recording of Jimmy Stewart  asking "Which way to Ireland"   If you have never visited Eurecka Springs Ark. you are missing a beautiful town and wonderful scenery and the people are great.   

 It was "Another Fine Day At The Flyin' Field"!
