Yes it was a great flight today! Nick's Family restaurant right on the airport was a pretty good lunch stop for those interested. I've gotten a lot of good guidance from Larry and a few other folks for the gathering.
Hope to see a bunch of new planes at the Gathering this year! It has been a great year for KR Completions, so please bring them to Lees Summit in September.
