I will have my Waiex on display. How about all of you Southern California Sonex owners fly down for the afternoon. It would be awesome to see a great turn out at this Open House. Let me know if you think you can make it.

It was good to see you Dana and I'm glad your newly minted Sonex made the trip down to Ramona. It was a great open house. I must have put 20 or 30 kids into my airplane and let them move the controls and make airplane noises. My favorite thing to do was to tell them not to press the missile button! Their parents were so grateful and took pictures of the smiles on their faces. I was also able to give ground checkouts to prospective buyers and a couple of young prospective pilots. I saw lots of people reading my Sonex information cards and writing down the web address. Who knows, we may have planted the seed of a new Sonex owner today. All in all it was a great day. Sorry I don't have more pictures but I was constantly talking to people and showing kids the inside of an airplane. Great fun spreading the word on the Sonex brand.
