This seems to suggest that a third Flugwerk 190 attending hasn't been ruled out.

Isn't there a WIX-er in Arizona with one nearing completion? That could be the third, with the other two being the MAM and Frasca birds. Unless the Tri-State Warbird Museum aircraft is also nearing completion.

So far so good. I hear the Country Music Fest across the highway last week was a real mudfest but Camp Scholler looks pretty good. Was there yesterday and there are lots of new, bigger culverts in place. Grass was still about 16" tall in the pet/generator areas, but there were a couple of farmers in there mowing & baling.

I hear that they installed drain tile in the WB camping area since last year and it is much improved

Two weeks and counting...

Zack, any chance you can confirm the date for the WIX/Timeless Voices gathering?

And for the rest of you, I'm sure he could use an approximate headcount for the number of needed feedbags.
