A fly-in breakfast was held at the Harbor View Pub

Docking was available for floatplanes at Harbor View.

Also absent for the first time this year was the show’s
producer, Price County Airport Manager Chris Hallstrand,
who was deployed to Afghanistan with the Minnesota Air
National Guard. Hallstrand is a crew chief on a C-130

Dear Fellow Pilots:
My experience participating in the “Midwest Flyer Canadian
Fishing Fly-Out” brought together many of the things that, for me,
make flying so enjoyable and exciting: the utility of a small aircraft
to go somewhere inaccessible by automobile...the adventure of
flying long distances over sparsely populated areas...and the
challenge of advanced flight planning and preparation for flying
into another country.
It’s hard to explain the feeling of accomplishment you get when
your wheels touch down on a 2400 ft. grass strip that you’ve
located in the middle of nowhere after flying for 200 nautical miles
from civilization.
And as if the flying wasn’t fun enough, it was followed by 3 days
of great fishing!
This is truly the trip of a lifetime, or maybe the annual trip of a
lifetime!
