8th Sourdough Fly-In

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Memorial Day weekend with us in Port Alsworth!
We look forward to the get together every year. Honestly, there was a cold wind blowing this year.

But besides that, it was sunny, great fun, and we gave away BIG prizes!

Our 5K drew a big crowd even though the temps were low.
The winner of each category won a Moose's Tooth gift card! Carb reloading has never been so tasty!
The first two runners to cross the line were 16 year old twins with times of 14.24 and 14.25.
For them getting Race Ready included stretching-sunbathing-looking cool.
And this year we added a shorter route for the 10 and under crowd and the little runners loved it. 

The Flying Competitions were the biggest to date.

We had more plane type categories...

...more pilot entries...

...and bigger prizes than ever before...
HUGE thank you's to Atlee Dodge for donating two Companion Heaters (value of each $835),
and Learn To Return for donating an Aviation Land & Water Survival class (value $695)!
The winners were stoked!

Ron won the Spot Landing with a 1'2"!!! And he also snagged the Shortest Takeoff with 39'4".

Greg won the Pizza Drop with a 7'5"! And immediately put together his Companion Heater.

By then it was time to BBQ. Thank you to our amazing BBQ'ers like Jon-Boy here...

The Steve Willis Band! played for hours and even let a little local musician join in.
We didn't invite the wind, but it came anyway. Whatever can you do but zip up your jacket and put on some gloves?!

Our Film Festival is so much fun! This year a film about trail biking won - his wipeout reel literally put him over the top. Thank you to everyone who participates by submitting films and coming to watch them! Start planning and filming now for next year... same place same time.

Any takers on having a caravan category in the Flying Comps next year?....
