I don’t think there was an official plane count but I heard from several others that at the peak there were 30-40 canards, and a handful of other types in attendance.   I have a more accurate count of the folks who attended the Saturday evening festivities which is right around 175-180 people in attendance!

I want to thank everyone who attended, we had folks fly here from as far away as Maine, Florida, Louisiana, California, Washington, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.  Many drove to attend, from California, Kansas and Oklahoma as well as Utah.
