The DFW-Area Cardinal Fly-In at Lancaster Airport has come and gone this past Saturday. At this time, I would like to declare the same a success based on
attendance, weather, accommodations, and feedback from attendees. Late in the week prior to Saturday, the weather was looking somewhat iffy. Local forecasters were
calling for everything from partly cloudy skies and cool temps to sleet. The weather on Saturday was cool and the breeze kept the wind-chill pretty low, but we
enjoyed clear skies and dry conditions. 
Once most had completed the morning meal, we began to congregate outside the cafe for a ramp tour. As a group, we trekked from one Cardinal to the next giving the
owner(s) an opportunity to speak about themselves and their airplanes. We discussed a broad range issues and there were many learning opportunities. Maybe most
of importance, folks got to know one another even better and I am confident some new friendships were being formed. This was certainly the case for yours truly. 
With that, people began to disperse to their airplanes, the cafe, and other activities on the ramp. What had initially began as an impromptu attempt to get just a few of
us together for breakfast one morning, turned into a real event with an attendance response that far exceeded my expectations.
