Maryann and I were invited to the 19th
Annual RICONN New Year's Day Party by our good friends Jean and
Walt Congdon. Many who attended are pilots. We met some nice
people, enjoyed some good food, got a close look at some antique
aircraft and took in the view of snow covered Rhode Island and
Connecticut from about three thousand feet or so. Photos L-R from
top: Three planes over the airfield with Walt's 1977 Cessna 180K
Skywagon at center. Walt at the controls of his Skywagon. RICONN
Airfield and a Red & White 1946 Taylorcraft BC12-D taking off.
