May 10-11, 2013. A dozen DAFers touched down in Oceano (L52) to help celebrate the annual Airport Appreciation Day. Six of us camped out on the airport property, the other six stayed in a nearby hotel.

A hamburger grill took place on Friday night, followed by dance music from the San Luis Jazz Band. On Saturday morning, we woke up to a Lions Club pancake and sausage breakfast and a chance to look at the aircraft static display (which included quite a few Mooneys). A full 16-piece Swing music orchestra entertained everyone until a tri-tip lunch was served by the local Elks club.

Unfortunately, a low cloud layer that stuck around all morning prevented a few DAFers from flying in and joining the Saturday events. This was a nice low-key event that let everyone appreciate our small, local airports.
