The turnout to Chino was great. Twenty (20) Mooneys
showed up!
We knew the Chino fly-in was well-planned, when SOCAL
Approach handed us off to Chino Tower about 10 miles out. Chino tower
cleared us to land, and then told us to follow the Vintage Mooney Valet Parking
cart to our VMG tie-downs. Phil DuBois did a fantastic job of planning his
first VMG Fly-In. Everything went off without a hitch. Thanks also
to John Frymeier, the airport manager and Mike Young who gave us all a demo of
the latest Garmin toys. Also special thanks to Devin, Phil's grandson, and
friends Tim and Jarred for all their hardwork in the hot Chino sun. Only
they could have braved the mid-day sun.
The shortest flight was from Corona (no time to put your gear
up) and the longest flight was from Redding California. It was a hot day,
but Phil had provided an air-conditioned eating room next to our tie-downs which
was great.
After lunch we reviewed our upcoming Fly-Ins, answered
questions, and made our VMG Recognition Awards. This time we recognized
John Frymeier, the Chino airport manager for his great support. And then
John Chandler for helping to found the Vintage Mooney Group which brings the
greatest airplanes and greatest people in the world together each month.
Finally we awarded the oldest Mooney Award to a 1958 Mooney. It had
not been flown in, so we took his word for it that it was a great plane and
airworthy.
See everyone at our next fly-in to Gold Country on September
8!
