X51 Fly-in, Safety Seminar & Christmas Party

Saturday was very much a "LAFA Day".  An early fly-in breakfast at X51 was followed by an FAA Safety Seminar "The Importance of Fundamentals" courtesy of Mr. John Deiters (FAA  Designated Examiner - FSDO 19).  Then in the evening we had our annual  LAFA Christmas Banquet.

(Thanks to those of you who provided photos, and apologies to those of you who were left out of them).

 

Breakfast followed by chikee chat...

The receptive audience...
