I've just been on the sidelines but I have to mention that I would like to have a safe flyin. I think I've helped host 5 of them and I worry each year about what people actually do while they are flying. I've already watched a person die in his KR at Oshkosh then have to fly around his crash site while the fire trucks and emergency crews arrived using me as their reference point. Then in Covington where I was hosting a KR Gathering, I've been called when a KR crashed into a tree on final because he was low killing the pilot and injuring his wife. I really enjoy flying my plane but I really hope we just shoot the breeze, make some missed approaches at appropriate speeds and LIVE to have a good time at the Gathering. Marti is a friend of mine and I'm actually happy that we won't be having Marti buzz the field this year. Please consider that nobody has to take his place!
