April 16, 2016 - RV Fly-in at Twin Lakes Airport, NC

I departed Johnson City Saturday morning.  Weather was perfect:  warm, light winds, not a cloud in the sky.  Mugsy had told me there was an RV fly-in just on the other side of the mountains at Twin Lakes Airport (8A7) in Mocksville, North Carolina so I decided to stop there for a few hours on the way home.   94 nm ESE to be precise.  Just a short hop in the RV.  Here I am safe on deck at Twin Lakes.
   
Nice little airport.
   
More RVs parked out in front of the small terminal building.
   
I like the purple paint job but he departed before I could get a closer look.
   
Bruce Raymond took this close-up shot.  Wow, even the prop is metallic purple.

I've never seen an RV towed before.
   
There was an above-average food spread for lunch.
   
More RVs.

Nope, not yet.  This has always been one of my favorite RV paint schemes.
   
The creativity of RV builders is amazing.
