60 years as the Owyhee Hilton Hotel.

[Bob Bement]

We flew down to the Owyhee Reservoir State airport 28U last Sat. and helped celebrate 60 years since The Hilton Hotel,was built. One of the builders son was there with the plaque and there were 12 airplanes and about 20 people in attendance. Some from Nv. ID. OR, and WA. A good time was had by all.

Neat! For those who don't know, 28U is on the list of Oregon's Department of Aviation "Warning" list. Their write-up is actually appealing (they even mention the Hilton):

However, as a low time pilot I don't think I'd take a rental plane there. At least, I don't think so....
