Red Rock Fly-In:   April 8-10, 2005
Day 2: Rise & Shine Surprise.  IMAX, Valle Planes of Fame Museum.

Saturday morning:  Pulled open the drapes and this was the scene outside.  FSS reported 400' ceiling at GCN, I think that was optismistic.  Twelve hours ago, it was clear blue sky.
After the IMAX Grand Canyon show, Brady and Barrett Dunayer found a new source of amusement.  Here, Barrett is about to receive a block of snow from brother Brady!
 
 
Fred Newman:  If this weather persists, maybe I'll have to drive this home!
