KR GATHERING 2023—MOUNT VERNON AIRPORT

Approximately 20-30 KR enthusiasts attended the 2023 KR Gathering in Mount Vernon, Illinois from September 14-16.  While attendance was down somewhat from previous gatherings, the crowd who attended had a great time renewing old friendships and looking at some great aircraft. 9 KR airplanes attended. Jeff Scott (a former KR builder and pilot) arrived in his Marquet Charger and gave several introductory flights.  Several of the KR owners gave rides as well.

Forums were conducted including weight & Balance, KR aircraft general information and a FreeBird update by Mark Langford. 

Saturday evening many KR attendees dined together in the big conference room preceding the awards program. All the "regular attendees" that couldn't make this years Gathering were sorely missed.
