Reklaw was never before 2005 so colorful, great and beautiful, - and the weather was perfect too.
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 were 408 planes and 1040 visitors 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 to start.
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.

Announcing

All announced in a very rural way

If you click on the small thumbnails, you get a "larger" (=small to medium) image
... and if you have more images, they are apreciated by the webmaster.
These pictures here are condensed from Rick A. Holliday, Sharlene Robinett (Thanks!) and more than 100 of my stuff.
The pictures are reduced in the resolution to obtain reasonable times for the transmission. Uncondensed they are between 25K and 750K each. All together around 16 MB, nothing for broadband, too much for a normal phoneline. But if anyboby wants a special image in a larger edition: don't hesitate to give me a note.
