SECOND ANNUAL WSAA COOKOUT HELD MAY 30, 2009
The second annual WSAA cookout had great weather, with temperatures in the upper seventies/low eighties. This year Scott Piper and his assistant Rich Tincher prepared barbecue for the feast. Attendees brought their lawn chairs and plopped down in one of the four open hangars or on the flight line in front of the hangars. The highlight of the gathering was a low approach down runway 4 in a T-6 piloted by Mike Steele, accompanied by his wife Deborah Steele.
Watching the sunset from the grass between runway 4 and the T-Hangars was a real treat. A gathering like this is a major benefit of sharing the passion of aviation with like-minded people. Some of the best pictures from the cookout are inserted below:

Talk has been started about turning the annual cookout into a semi-annual cookout, so watch for an announcement about a fall gathering. See you there!
