Creve Coeur 2025 convention

Post by V529 »

The weather was perfect.
The hosts, John and Renee were awseome,
The airport is one of the coolest GA fields in the country,
It was a great time and I'm ultra pleased I was able to attend.
Got to see old friends and meet new ones.

Really missed you and the 120 140 family, it wasn't in the cards this year. You wouldn't believe how disappointed the plane is think those are real tears still streaming from the exhaust stacks. JEFF

Pictures:

I approach St. Louis from the NE. Many times (I used to fly either into STL or "Spirit" regularly) they bring you in right over the top of KSTL. So, I took some pics. I had a F15 scorch right underneath me as I flew over. (Glad I wasn't squawking Russian!)

Not everybody...........but most everybody.

We had a pretty decent turn out with about 80 attendees.
