Fun in Kuratake

It is so nice to be able to share Kuratake with friends from near and far. This weekend several groups of foreigners found their way to the takeoff, camping, flying, and having fun.

Farewell and Good Luck Party 壮行会

Last Saturday night we enjoyed a roaring party at Nabeshima with a large group of students, friends, and supporters.

A long time student and friend Dr. Yamashita gave the opening kanpai speech.

The party was held at one of our favorite restaurants in Amakusa- Yakiniku Nabeshima. 

We received lots of encouragement and best wishes.

At the end of the party, our good friend Mr. Urakawa gave the closing speech followed by everyone clapping once to finish the party.
Thank you everyone for coming to the party and believing in Rick!
Also, thanks for the shots Carl.
GO RICK GO!
