RE: Why are they not flying these planes to the gatherings No one listens. For several years now, I and several other people on the net have been writing about this. I don't know if they are still around or if all those KRs have crashed, or what, but there must be a lot of them that are not coming to the gatherings because they got worn out risking their lives and planes, trying to get there.
Whether you drive to the gatherings or fly your KR, everyone wants to see KRs. So if you don't have one to fly and want to see more KRs, you need to speak up. KRs and other non-IFR, airplanes cannot fly in bad weather. Our gathering is held at a time of the year when the opportunity for blue skys all over the US is slim. I will never fly my KR to a gathering again, unless I see blue skys going both ways. Unless something is done about the date for the gathering, we are taking pot luck at getting good weather. For me, the gathering has taken on more meaning than just the planes, but for most and especially for the newcomers, it is all about the planes, as it should be.
