The main reason it's at PJY is that Highflyer has a hangar there, and he
offered to host it the first year. It was a big success, and it's been
there ever since. I've only managed to make it one year, but I hope to go
again this year.

who knows the history?


As far as I can remember, the first one was in '97. As for why, I
guess it seemed like a good idea at the time :-) Seriously, your best
source of info on the fly-in will be Highflyer, who made the original
post on this thread. It has contact info.
