Photo Gallery Watkin Field Invitational Fly-In
On October 4, 2003 Bill Sparks who manages a private field in Raymore, MO. had invited the 49th Squadron to come to the field and fly with the Watkins Field group. It was a beautiful day. A total of 19 pilots showed up between the two groups. Bill also fed the group with great grilled smoked sausage and hot dogs, chips, dessert. It was a great day. Below are some of the photos taken of this event.Thanks again Bill.

Looks like Cliff wanted to mow the E-W runway a little closer with his 1/2 scale Briggs-Stratton lawnmower. |
Fly by of the....mower? |
