<KR gathering in Salina, Ks. I am from Salina and it is a heavy use airport. Cards need to be carried to enter or leave the airport. It has 4 runways but is a no-nonsense field, controllers are strict on traffic procedures. No one pulls a plane out of his hanger here unless he is leaving the area and flying to other locations. I wish it were more like the old days but life and times change. Randolph R. Clark Flying KR-2 151 RC since 1986 >
I guess I need to clarify... A lot of folks, including my own son, appear to have taken my post as suggesting Salina, KS as a venue for the fly-in. I was merely listing Salina as the "farthest West that the fly-in has been held". Salina is slighly farther West than Perry, OK. In fact I now live in Independence, OR in an airpark (7S5) and would be hard-pressed to host a fly-in in Salina anyway. As an aside, our airport and EAA chapter has hosted the RV fly-in for the past 2 years and will host it again this August. Perhaps we CAN think about a West coast gathering of KR's in the near future. I would be open to this possibility. I hope to see you all in Mt. Vernon this year. Regards, Jerry Pryce
