Norseman Festival again!
Looks like this year is the 75th anniversary of the first Norseman flight. Comeing up quick July 23rd. Hopefully there will be a good turnout this year. Not very often you can get an inexpensive ride in a noisy, gangly, slow flying, piece of history.
This will be my 6th time going...always a lot of fun. If you see a fellow around a yellow antique bird...your welcome to say hello.

Re: Norseman Festival again!
I had a front row seat for the festival in 2006 (had a lakefront apt on Howie Bay). It was a GREAT time..and seeing 11-12 Norsemen making a low pass over Howie Bay is a pretty spectacular sight! If you havent been, its a must do thing for ALL pilots! Have fun mikegtzg! maybe ill see you there this yr!

Re: Norseman Festival again!
I'll be there!! I'll be on...static display in a ...king air.
Anyone coming up to me and expounding the virtues of "real" pilots vs. "wheel" pilots will be expected to buy me a beer at the howie later.
Don't be hatin' - us landlubbers need love too.

Re: Norseman Festival again!
So? How was it? Somebody must have taken some pictures they could post!!
I made it there last year but I´m in the Sudan this year so it was a bit far to commute!
Fighter Pilot, you must have a couple of shots to share, you took some great ones last year!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!
