Doesn't look too bad to me:

Independence Day
Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75 to 85...70 to 75 in the mountains. East winds up to 10 mph.

I am in Atlanta so I won't make it, but the 8U8 folk do a great job hosting.

8U8, not LWT

some showers earlier, but lots of planes flying today and it's Montana....you might get anything from snow to 100* in July.

We're expecting to feed 200-250. 80 planes and 50+young eagles

Sorry you won't make Hans.

It seems that every party I thought I could make in my RV has been postponed by ME ....... a real slower builder. Maybe next year........

Well another very successful small town fly-in, a couple hundred people, 60++airplanes. The weather was perfect, ok the T storms held off until about an hour ago, but should be nice again for fireworks later.

We had 2 unpainted -6a's and 1 RV-8

2 Rockets, here's one

Floatplanes, biplanes

and plenty of hungry folks

Another great Fly-in for Central Montana. The beautiful weather brought out almost 280 people(pilots and townies), 54 different airplanes. We served 250 breakfasts, 300+cups of coffee, flew 60+Young Eagles.

Sorry didn't get any good pics, as I was on Grill Duty. Did manage to meet some new RV'rs. Hans & Max RV-6A from Bozeman and John & Spouse(sorry forgot your name) RV-12 builders/flyers from Great Falls. Also had a RV-8, RV-9a and 2 Rockets stop by.
