This year's DAF Hangar Party was a resounding success, with over one hundred people showing up to kick up their heels. The hangar was tricked out with Pancho's bar, a dance floor, palm trees, and a fleet of balsa airplanes. A potential crisis when the rented grill failed was averted by Curtis Hahn's quick repair work, and Curtis, Larry and Mitch went on to grill up chicken and Santa Maria tri-tip for the crowd.

After dinner, the dancing got started, and went on until the band had to leave at 10. Later, a quieter group was left to contemplate the evening with a few choice beverages out on the ramp.

Many thanks to all the folks that showed up to help set up for the party, then came back afterward to clean up. The Hangar Party Comittee's efforts in planning and making all the arrangements deserve special mention, as well as Al Gibbs, who as usual went above and beyond with his palm trees, the Happy Bottom Riding Club sign, and the fantastic barbed wire enclosure for the photo area.
