Mesa Arizona Falcon Field Airport Open House 2017
Had an open house at the Mesa, Arizona Falcon Field airport this last Saturday. Had a great time. Lots of cool cars and airplanes to see. Even had a scale model train they were running. My daughter and her family came to visit and see the cool sights. My grandson even had fun looking at the stuff. He was standing behind my car and he went up and smacked the tail light with his hand. Not sure why he did that, but I'm going to have to teach him some car show etiquette about no touchy....
...He's only just turned 2 so it will be an ongoing process. Every car that was there had some major dust to deal with afterwards. They had helicopters taking off and landing all day. You know how they fly right? They beat the air into submission until it gets liftoff....that's what made the dust but it was pretty cool to watch. Guess they were giving rides all day. There we're SOOO MANY people there it was hard to get good footage so I put some pictures on the end.
The video took over a day and a half to load to YouTube. That was very frustrating to say the least. Not sure what's gong on with that. It's about 20 minutes long so you don't have to watch it all. Anywho, hope you enjoy this video. I have 1 more show next Saturday. Might be the last one but we'll see how the weather goes.

Wow, you couldn't ask for any more variety! Trains, planes, and automobiles all in one show. That was a huge turnout of people. Almost too much to take in, in one day.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put that together and for sharing it!
Yes, another "Grape" production!

I try to do as much as I can myself. If I feel I'm not able to accomplish something, my first place to call is Classic Gold Auto Centre. I know them pretty well and they've always treated me right.
If you ever check them out, tell them Grape sent ya. They also have a picture of my car on their front window.
