These were the host for tonight's weekly party, Denny & Nydia. They were celebrating their 40Th wedding anniversary. He's a great pilot, and she's just great ! They had some really good Mexican food catered for us tonight, along with a keg of beer, and a GREAT Band! What a great couple. Good time was had by all. The food was tasty, the beer was cold, the music has us dancing all night, the bonfire warmed us, and we even got to watch the West Brow Volunteer Fire department put out a fire on the mountain. It is rumored that someone drove Another vehicle off the bluff,, however, that is just a rumor. I can't confirm it. Just hope no one was hurt, no matter the cause.

The story behind this shot is two-fold. One is apparent-the wedding pictures. However, the Lexus tin with some really good mint chocolate cookies may have you wondering. Well, if you buy a $40,000. Lexus,,, you too can get a tin of them, ha ha!

After 40 years---still dancing and singing to each other. What a great site to witness.

Here we see the band for the night. The "Just Reeves Band" performed their usual great variety of music, and rocked the house until close to 11:30. Their style gets everyone dancing, and they wont let up until they see us worn out, it seems, ha ha! They are great, and honored to call them friends. They are going to be performing at the Tennessee Tree Toppers next weekend, for Memorial day fly-in that they are having. Should be a Great time for all. The TTT is know for a lot of things. A couple of them are: The Team Challenge, The May Mayhem/Memorial day Fly-in, and their hospitality.

It was a very good fly day today. Both off the mountain, and for towing. Some of the pilots achieved altitude gains of over 4 grand over the mountain. No one went XC, that I heard about. Later in the day, even some first time mountain launches were made. A buddy of mine got his first, and second one, and was even heading back up for his third, however it got too late, and he had to settle for 2. Got to love the shine on new pilots faces ! Way to go Dan ! Much better landing the second time around. Watch those low turns from base to final !

What would our sport be, without Wuffo's??? Nothing ! We all were at one time, wondering about this fantastic sport called " Hang Gliding". So many yearning questions, that come from deep inside that has to be answered, and an unquenchable thirst has to be quenched. Little did we know, that that thirst would stay with us for the remainder of our days. Da Vinci was right! !

There was 3 tugs, and 3 tandem pilots today, going as hard as they could to get all the Discovery flights in before dark. Steve, one of the tandem instructor pilots extraordinaire, said that all 3 of them did about 20 tandems each today. Just another safe & wondrous day at the flight park !
