Lino Lakes MN (MY18)
Friends, we posted the schedule of events for the 2024 Great MN Aviation Gathering, to be held on Friday and Saturday, May 17-18, 2024 at the Buffalo Municipal Airport (KCFE)! Please visit www.mnpilots.org/gmag and scroll down to see what I think is an outstanding schedule.
We are hoping weather will be optimal for camping under the wing of your airplane on Friday night, May 17. This will give you an early start for Saturday's presentations, and perhaps be the kickoff for some great tent camping in the Summer of 2024!
I hope you have had a good winter and that spring has been a good one for you!
