Skagit Fly In

Saturday April 25th

The Bellingham Squadron left town at 0600. We had four SM and seven cadets go to Bay View Airport in Skagit County. The weather was crazy, it rained and was freezing cold as well as sunny and hot. We got to maintain crowds and cadets were able to FLM (flight line marshell) air planes. Major Todd Wigal and his staff were great! I got to work with other cadets from different squadrons and I have to say Charlie 2 was great! We look forward to working with Skagit in the future.

Thanks Chris, spelling and grammar is not strength of mine.

I enjoyed the site. Just a couple of small things that would help it look better:
- A number of times you spelled "completed" as "compleated"
- "speech" was spelled "speach"
- You said "I would have top say Charlie 2..."; I think you meant "to say"
