Had a great time. Leslie and I are home now, already planning the next breakfast! :)
Thanks so much to the Fredericks for making this great event possible! The airport is wonderful thanks to Brad, and Diz has done an awesome job with with the school! It was great meeting April and Ericka!
 
Back home safe, after a quick stop to check the beach at Washington Island (turns out that stop came with a busted nosewheel pant, no charge).
We had an awesome time, and glad to meet so many wonderful folks! Shoutouts to Diz & Brad for hosting, Leslie & Grant for breakfast, Rich for the internet, and the rest of the gang for making this lowly POA lurker with a DIY airplane immediately welcome & part of the club. We'll be back, and hopefully able to join in more gatherings!

I am so sorry I couldn't be there, but don't regret my decision even a little. It has done nothing but rain here since yesterday and is supposed to keep raining a couple days more. I'd not have been able to make it back VFR. I am so glad everyone had fun. 6Y9 is still one of my most favorite of places.
 
New NOTAM for 6Y9:
MULTIPLE UNLIT SNDHL CRANES INVOF AIRFIELD

It was wise to do periodic runway-clearing passes to ensure safe operations. ;)

If I knew how to upload video, I could post examples of both birds and aircraft doing clearing passes.

I'm not sure which was louder, the plane or the cranes!

We made it back to Kansas a couple hours ago in the RV40, got everything unpacked and put away. A huge thanks to the Fredericks for putting on a fantastic event, Grant and Leslie for a delicious Sunday breakfast, Ed for taking our kids for a ride in his Comanche, and to everyone who made the trip for coming. We had a great time one again and really enjoyed seeing everyone. Getting to see the Northern Lights was another added treat.

It was a great time and a great group. We hope to make it again next year!
 
Home!

Departed 39 degrees
Landed 91

I had a blast. Eren had a blast. Thank you to the Frederick family for making this happen and thanks to everyone for being awesome.

Eren kept saying on the flight home "everyone there is incredibly nice"

Back to reality.

Agreed. POA fly-ins tend to have good participants (even when I show up), but I've always found 6Y9 to take the cake with consistently a wonderfully nice group, even though that group naturally shifts from year to year.

Does this mean I have an RV36?

You could ride with Eric, or land at Land of Lakes, someone will make arrangements to pick you and your gear up.

Yes. If @SixPapaCharlie is wondering about specs of the RV40 when he documents aircraft at the flyin, it’s an experimental and has a rotation speed of 738 knots.

The Prellwitzes, Myers, and Fredericks are such welcoming & giving people, that it's hard for the rest of us to screw it up.

Have you run the calculation of how much horsepower that's going to take?
