Agreed, Flite Fest 2015 was another triumph. You could tell that the FT folks had really planned for the crowd size, and the only real inconvenience we encountered was having to park so far away due to the rain and the mud. But what can you do about the weather... Suffice it to say that on Saturday we were able to park nice and close once things had dried somewhat. Getting back to the attendance, we talked to Austin shortly before we left on Saturday evening, and he said they had about 900 registered pilots in attendance, with a total crowd of around 5000.
So thanks to Flite Test, the Furey family, and all the volunteers for going above and beyond the call for a second year! Thanks also to Chad Kapper for the ride out to the parking area Friday evening. His BMW was nicer than the golf carts, and it gave us the chance to have a really nice conversation and a few laughs. Suffice it to say that there are some wonderful people in Ohio.
