Reklaw records

Reklaw was never so colorful, great and beautiful and the weather was perfect
Friday already 250 planes arrived and at the evening 430 meals were served
Saturday the breakfast-line was 2 hours long! 460 breakfasts were served and later 560 lunchs!. There must be 450 - 500 planes present. This time the east-overflow parking lot had to be used the first time in the reklaw-history! Sometimes up to 10 planes were waiting for departure.
In the evening, after dinner, a lot of awards were presented. the longest distance, the oldest/newest pilot etc. It is a shame, Im ‘unable to mention all these outstanding people and their planes by name. With one exception:

Denny Renwick got the “Personal Choice Award from Red & Johnnie Deel” looking for a fun plane. Apparently the “judges” walked around looking at all the planes and when speaking to an unsuspecting Denny about his Aeronca he described it as “nothing fancy, just fun” and thus the award.
Of course that is too modest. We all know the top mechanical skills and the extra clean workquality of all what is Denny touching. Gratulations.
ps - much more picures from Reklaw soon
