Flying Country Club Plane Wash April 29, 2000

Gotta Keep 'em Clean!

It was a chilly, dreary, cloudy day, but we had a near-record turnout for the plane wash, with some even bringing family to help. We even had a couple of guys show up the night before to wash a plane since they couldn't be here on the scheduled planewash date. Truly a fantastic effort by everyone involved, and we ended up with lots of clean, shiny airplanes, and one fantastic breakfast. Thanks, all!
Q#1: How many pilots does it take to push an Archer (backwards)?


Q#2: The dog didn't REALLY wash the tires...did it??
Some pilots turning their "best side" toward the camera. :)

And here we see one of the advantages of the high wing aircraft...you've got a front porch and a back porch for those rainy days! And that step ladder goes up to the sun deck...
Is he blow-drying it? I think we'd better shut it off though, before we start waxing it.
This gig took lotsa potsa coffee...
The Archer's all done and ready to fly.

The 172 gets the final spit-polish from the "Wax Crew".
Look at 'er shine! With that fresh wax job, it'll be so slick and fast it's liable to get away from us!
The newest addition to our fleet gets a good scrub-down.
"Hey, how come all you guys who wanted the low wing airplane aren't over here cleaning the underside of these Hershey Bars??"

Some of our pilots even brought their family members out to help.
Wow, would ya look at all those low-wings! Joe's babies. :)

And there are those same pilots, still pushing the Archer (backwards)...

An extremely successful planewash with lots of effort by the best of the best. Thanks again, guys and gals. And thanks, Joe, for another incredible breakfast. Hey, let's do it again this fall!
