Hilltopperz, The Weather God smiled on us Sunday as we gathered for our fall 2009 version of Hill Top's Famous Fun Flys. It turned out to be one of the Funnest Famous Fun Flys I've ever attended and I've been to a bunch of them. We started with an ample selection of some of the most appetizing, delectable and savory food dishes ever served. The cakes and brownies were delicious and the meats were to die for. That's not to mention the casseroles, salads, cookies and other goodies that were on the serving tables. I am always awed by the cuisine that is served up by Hilltopperz at our semi-annual events. We put on a carrier landing and a bomb drop contest. Now I may have my wires crossed up a little, but for some reason we let Richard Hart win the blue ribbon in both events. Somehow I just think that there has to be a mistake in our record keeping. We'll have to pull and audit before we can confirm this. Here's a picture of Richard Hart conspiring with Wayne Thomason to win both the carrier landing and the bomb drop contests. Wayne had the inside track on how to win, since he was the one who painted the lines on the field. In the background you can see some of the swap meet items. The swap meet just about sold out. There were obviously a lot of happy buyers and sellers. Our raffle was a huge success, with three airplanes among the prizes. Phil Henry was the happy winner of one of the sticks. He also grabbed some great bargains in the swap meet. The raffle items were provided by Brady Wood with a contribution by Charles Sully. Thank you guys for making the raffle a success. There were a lot of great airplanes at the field on Sunday, but the winner of the best looking plane at Hill Top was Bob McElroy with his Stuka dive bomber. That's a beautiful airplane and it's fun to watch it fly. Shortly I'll be sending you the minutes of the business meeting which includes comments by Richard Hart on our site selection progress.
