The evening ended with a bonfire, lots of "hangar" flying and about 12 out of the 26 aircraft that flew in, staying and
enjoying Austin for the night. The next day as pilots were leaving to head home or to fly out to watch the Pony Express 100
car races, the same thing could be heard being said over and over, "See ya next year".

During the course of the afternoon and
evening, Jeff Miller (above) of Caldwell,
Idaho won the flour bombing competition.
He wasn't quite as lucky in the spot landing
competition...maybe NEXT year Jeff.
