Missouri Breaks (Winifred 9S7) ; the same but different :) June 20-22, 2025

Yes: We are planning for the Breaks Flyin again this year...but there will be one major temporary change. Norm Asbjornson has decided that our 150
X 4400' turf strip needs to be split into a 60" asphalt lighted and painted strip and a 75" X 4400" turf strip. The problem this year is that in June, the all new grass on the turf side will be closed. The brand new grass will need to get a rest for a good start. I will repeat this message in all messages that go out. There are several other changes to the airport in the works.... beautiful new grass pilots rest area, enlarged pilot's lounge with new "stuff" inside. Norm is doing all he can to make this a back-country destination. The rest of the schedule will be forth comming.... I just wanted to get this information out again for your plans and calenders.

Ralph,

Your hometown has an amazing benefactor in Norm, I know because I work in a community he has also blessed.

UPDATE:
The "Winifred International Suites" has some openings for the flyin weekend... if you want to stay there, better move. I have just heard that the "Old Bank Building" airBnB is open and has 3-4 rooms. It has a huge history and has been updated and is a nice clean place to stay right across the street from the famous "Carr Bar".
Old Bank Building: 406 366 1951
Winifred Int. Suites: 406 462 5323 or call the Carr Bar 406 462 5426

We have had an old fashioned snowy winter, and decent spring moisture so far. It should be green and beautiful in the Breaks in June.

I'll be there! Looking forward to this! Hopefully bringing Julie with me! Thanks, Ralph! I know the folks over at Denton MT will look forward to serving us breakfast, and will let them know! I assume we could fly over there for breakfast on Friday, June 20? Maybe even on Thursday, if we get there Wednesday evening.

Are we allowed to camp at the airport?
