The weather was perfect for Bob’s annual event at VA04. We had light winds, warm temperatures, and a great turnout. Tim Weaver came from Lancaster, Pennsylvania with his white and blue Bearhawk LSA. Rollie Vandorn brought his silver and blue Bearhawk Patrol from Zanesville, Ohio. We brought our Bearhawk 4-Place from North Carolina. Wayne Milbauer’s Bearhawk wasn’t quite ready yet, but he brought his Sportsman. There was a very fancy Stinson from Bob’s local EAA Chapter.
Several Bearhawk builders were also on hand, including Stephen and Monica Murphey from South Carolina, Isa Merkt also from South Carolina, Roy Glenn from Tennessee, Dave Matthews from New York, and also Todd Stock and Carlo Cilliers from Virginia. Michael Riston was there, and we got to meet Bob’s sister Cindy, who has recently moved to Virginia from California.
Todd and Carlo travelled by pickup truck so that they could take home struts, stringers, an engine case for mockup, and probably a few other parts.
