Working Saturday unfortunately...

Is Delmar Benjamin there or in Roseburg?

There was a big EAA contingent either in Creswell or Roseburg where Delmars GeeBee, the (crashed) Hughes H1 was built, and somebody there has a Grumman Albatross Winnebagoed.

Don't recognize the name, sorry. If your schedule changes, it's just a hop skip and a jump away.

We had a great event, with a big turnout. We flew 112 Young Eagles. This was the first event where I got to fly 'em myself, and it was a blast. I took 24 kids up yesterday for the first time in a GA plane, more than half of them as their first trip in a plane period.

If you haven't done it, I highly recommend it, it's a blast.
