Our Northeast Fly in at 1NK7 is done. We had 2 Kitfoxes and several other planes come in. about dozen campers and several spectators. We flew out to breakfast in the Adirondacks Piceco Lake airport cooked out the rest of the weekend. Great fun and good friends with a nice FAA safety seminar on Density Altitude with actual take offs and landing to record each pilot's performance measurements for lift off, distance to clear a 50foot obstacle and landing over a 100 foot tree to a spot and finally the roll out. DA was virtually 0 because of the nice cool weather We have made this an annual event with our local EAA ad the RAF.

The balloon was at my local airport when I was securing the plane at sundown
