Alamos, Mexico, Fly In 2024 
2024 Holiday Dinner at the Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club 
For November, we had a "two fer" program. First, there was the exciting conclusion to the DAF Annual Mystery Fly-in. Mitch went through the test in excruciating detail, only breaking things up with a scene from "Flying Down to Rio" showing a bevy of beauties wingwalking (and wingdancing) in a musical interlude. (For those who missed it or just want to see it again, the link is here). The results of the test were surprisingly close, with only 10 points seperating the best and the worst. However, the bar was set fairly low: the high score was 71 out of a possible 285! It's good that we were grading on the curve. The coveted Myfy Trophy went to Lambi Haralambos and Craig Narr; way to go, guys!After the presentation, there was a short inspirational video by Janine Shepherd. As a cross country skier headed for the Olympics, she was hit by a truck while on a training bike ride. Her injuries were so severe that she was told she would never walk again, and even her survival was called into doubt. She decided to become a pilot, and used flying as an inspiration to drive her rehabilitation. She worked at physical therapy to not only become a pilot, but recover the use of her legs and become an aerobatics flying instructor. It was a great video and a remarkable story. Thanks to Maggie and Laurice for showing it!
