A great group of folks attended the 2021 New Holstein Fly In, and as Steve Lewis would say, "We had a large time". We have so many people to thank!
Randy Corfman and his team who flawlessly executed 106 Young Eagle flights for a New Holstein record, as well as organized and managed the STOL demo and flour drop contests! These Young Eagle flights are ONE kid at a time so that means 106 flights! Thank you Randy for all you do!
Steve Lewis and Jeff Russell put together another great year of fly outs. The Klessig Farm flyout was graced with excellent weather (although it did not start out that way) and a great group of folks flying in.
Paul and Dana Osmanski, Ron Sitzman, Perry Welch, and a host of others provided a ton of infrastructure support.
We were blessed with largely good weather, and only high winds one night at one in the morning blowing stuff around.
One of the highlights of the week was flying to Kelly Country Creamery for ice cream. This involves landing in their 1000' alfalfa field. I think we went there four nights in a row!
At the one Laura and I flew out to, Dr. Randy put about 100 kids behind the stick of his airplane! It was like a summer Santa routine!
There were some mosquitos around, but we got to have a campfire or two anyway.
We had a couple food snafus, and I greatly appreciate everyone's patience and not quite full stomachs!
I was told it was smoke from forest fires to the north that provided the stunning sunrises that greeted us each morning.
Thanks to everyone who came, and everyone who helped make it another great New Holstein fly in!
