They could not get the plane to CC in time so John let him fly his airplane.

When it went through the beens it actuall stripped some of the covering off and dented the LE a bit. The pilot fixed it back to new that night. John's comment was "Well it does have a John Deere scheme so it's use to beeing in the crops."

The field is unbelieveable as is the whole property.

John & Tina Schroder are uber hosts. They even opened their property to any IMAC pilot that wanted to make the trek down during the American Thanksgiving. They even through the Thaksgiving dinner.

It's a 19 hour drive from Toronto but well worth it.

Just incase you can't make out the amounts in the last picture thats:

1st Place = $20,000.00
2nd Place = $ 7,000.00
3rd Place = $ 5,000.00

Oh that and ALL the other prize money comes directly out of John's pocket. The entrance fees cover the cost of running the contest and of course there are a tonne of donated prizes from various suppliers for the Pilot's draw.
