The long standing brave, bold and crazy tradition of flying on

the first day of the year was a great success. Those who

ventured out all bundled up (it’s the one day of the year Bob

Beatty doesn’t wear his Birkenstock’s) in freezing tempera-

tures to start the new year by flying there planes had a great

time. There fingers were frozen while they flew there planes

in the beautiful winter sky, and landed on the slushy run-

way.

“If you can walk away from a landing, it's a

good landing. If you use the airplane the next

day, it's an outstanding landing. “

Chuck Yeager
