First of all the weather was great. I enjoyed the airshow but it was very short. One thing that really needs to be tuned up is the arrival procedures,aircraft need some control from the ground rather than the hap hazardness that I saw. I was on final almost over the numbers when some idiot saw the opportunity to shoot in between myself and the bi plane in front of me,only after a few choice words did he either go around or leave but his prop wash almost flipped my light KR2S over, I did manage to get it down without incident though. Second, no one ( and I asked 3 people in orange vests ) knew where the showers were, I was sent over to the ultralight area and to a tent with a wooden skid for a floor. Later I found out that the campground was somewhere else. Third, when I arrived I displayed a sign that said " camping with the aircraft please ", the man shook his head and put me in a very rough field directly behind the guys selling little helicopters. When I taxied in my front wheel fell into a rut or something and my prop hit the grassbut not the ground, this could have been a dissaster for me. Things won't get better unless you hear about stuff like this. Thanks, Ken Wiltrout 09/11/2002 @ 18:29
