Met my brother there about 10AM , had a quick pancake breakfast . there were some flights, T-6, C-47 , C-45 ,TBM flying. Brother showed weather on his smart phone and knew the stuff was about to hit the fan. They had the Veteran honor early and then started to park TBMs in hangers. Matt Younkin tore up the sky as usual , can't remember if he landed before booking out for home but he be gone. A jet landed, maybe a L-39, got hangered quickly. Almost bought a R-2600 cylinder jug , decided not to, gotta downsize, but it would have been cool.The no-shows are to be blamed on the weather. Leaving parking lot in a monsoon and at least 5 cars stuck in mud on the "road", thank you CRV 4-wheel drive, drove around them, sorry I couldn't stop. Thought the rain would be later in the day but mother nature rules. Planning on going again, last year was really good. I had the cash in my pocket for a TBM flight, next time.
