28th. Annual Flying M Ranch Fly-In and Campout, and 20th Annual Cub Migration Oct. 25-27, 2013 There have been almost 600 planes in past years.The Flyin is definitely ON for this year. Work Party weekend is Oct 19-20 2013, and all volunteers available are requested to come and assist in cleanup. The drought damage to trees has been extreme this year, and the deadfall have caused issues. Marcia & David Mason Aircraft Owners, Pilots and other Aviation enthusiasts welcome. NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC! Welcome to the Flying M Ranch in the Piney Woods of East Texas!
