Attendance at the poker run was great and many of the pilots visited some new airports for the first time. The community really came together in supporting this great event through, participation, volunteering and by donating some great prizes.
Lat but certainly not least, the Langley Aero Club hosted their annual fly-in. There were over 60 aircraft on the flight line featuring everything from a Sopwith Pup to a Cessna 337 and everything in between.
