Alturas Airport Day 2012

It almost didn't happen due to weather.  We got a break! 4 Planes and 7 pilots from Klamath Falls flew to Alturas to support their Airport Day.  The elementary school brings out approx 248 kids to see what happens at an airport.  Ms Paula organized the California Highway Patrol, the local emergency responders, pilots from Klamath and local Alturas pilots for the event.  Together we shared our interest in aviation with a bunch of excited kids.  A great time was had by all.  Thank you Ms Paula for allowing us to share our passion of aviation with the kids.  Tooting the marvelous attributes of the Piper Tomahawk, Ross Wolf was voted "The most entertaining and fun" presenter.  I think I'd buy 5 or 6 Tomahawks after all the wondrous things Ross said about PA38's.  Can't believe I dont' have one.  Ha Ha.
