CPS 2023 Gathering in Jackson California: June 14-18. We Had A BLAST!
Our 2023 Get Together was an absolute hoot. An excellent venue, terrific hosts, beautiful surroundings, and the company of friends. Those that attended were generous with their pictures and PIREPS, and the stories of the travel adventure were well documented as well.
If you were there, it was an event that served to add to the memories of a lifetime. For those that missed out, some pictures below that brings it home.

OSHKOSH 2023: From all reports, Osh was a success again this year. Weather challenges were minor in comparison to prior year's maelstroms. The CPS Membership did their usual good job of NOT making the headlines. Some of our C2O brothers and sisters made the trip and likewise had no ink spread their way in the local papers.
