Dave Edwards is a new member in ALR and told us about Reid Hillview Day and we decided to put up a display. Blue Star Moms, POW/MIA, PGR and American Legion / American Legion Riders decided to attend.
It was a hot event! Over 100 deg, but the event was hot too! So I rushed over first thing in the morning and got there about noon, my day is a bit slower than most folks! GBG
We had our own area to park the scoots and show flags on the "strip".
A pic of Nancy E taking a pic of Tom E and Slick John.
A bunch of old cars were there, we'll be back later...
They had a toy airplane and the kids loved it!
Gary and Sandy R.
BigJake showed up in his placid T shirt.
This is the "infamous" flying lawn mower.... warming up with some grass... The darn thing flew! And it did a great job! Amazing!!
Pic of some models...
The helicopter put on a nice show earlier...
Some of the models....
Apparently this one had a gazillion leds in it....
Back to the cars....
And of course, some scoot is splitting lanes... GBG
This model was amazing, it had enough power that it could stand on it's prop! It did amazing flips and tricks! It put out a smoke trail for effect.
Dave in the middle that got us to Reid Hillview also brought..... ahem.... the Oakland Raider one and only, Raiderettes! A beautiful addition to the day! GBG
Boats got a gift! It looks a bit small... it's for his young'un! A PGR T shirt!
Stars of the day!
OK, we have to do pics of the Raiderettes! Ol' Cranky dude on the left gettin' a squeeze! Yeah there were others there too! GBG Lets see, there was the Cranky dude.. gorgeous, I know this guy but the name slips my mind - someone remind me and I'll update the blog, gorgeous, Panak, Don N, Dave in front, gorgeous, Rich M, in the back, Sgtmaj, Gary in front, Slick John, Steve and gorgeous... There was a theme to my naming! GBG
Sgtmaj got a group hug.
Reece C taking off, his 12 year old boy flew a blue jet, forget the kind, but it was a great job! Tell your boy he really flew his stuff! Nancy E talking......
One of the old cars taking off...
So the grand prize was a flight in an airplane. This is a zippy one! Nancy E said I'll go!!! Then she got to thinking about it, of course some help was offered by her "friends"... flips, rolls, here take this plastic bag... GBG
She bravely said, I'm going to do this!
Here we are checking the oil... I told the pilot, they call her the screamer! GBG We had a lot of fun with 'er! The pilot was not sure about something so I didn't stick around for the panic takeoff, and headed out... it was over 100 on the flight line..... Hot day! Thanks! Dave! Great time!
