          Winnemucca Flyin' 2004

In the summer of 2004 we hosted an airplane flyin' in Winnemucca.  I would have taken more pictures, but I was busy with the BBQ and talking with the people who flew in for the event. It was a lot of fun.
This plane here was busy taking rides.  The owner 'Joe' likes to take people up and give them an open cockpit view and a bit of historical flying.  This is a real nice plane. 
This is a gyrocopter that caught a lot of attention.
A Cub is another plane that catches lots of attention.  The owner has flown many flights in Alaska and is an avid flyer. 
This Europa has a steering wheel like a car, or so I have heard. I could be wrong though, there were too many plane to keep them all straight.
For the kids, we put together a simulator computer and let them 'safely' flight all kinds of aircraft.  They had a blast.
The local Civil Air Patrol put on a display that is really cool.  It is nice to see youngsters disciplined and getting ready for their careers. 
Plenty of planes....
I wish I knew what kind of planes these were, but I'm no help here. 
Another nice plane.
This one was pretty cool and they flew in from Utah for the flyin' excitement. 
Now this one I know is an RV.  Not sure if it is a 6 or a 7, but it's still a nice plane.
