Two years ago this week, Second Life finished its beta and went "gold". To celebrate the occasion, Pathfinder Linden pulled together a gaggle of builders and olbies to fill the four sims with well-known builds and objects from throughout SL's two-year history. Some of the attractions included carnival rides, towers by Maxx Monde and LordFly Digeridoo, Cannabis Cathedral, a city street, the beta time capsule contents, and my contribution, Zoe Airfield.

Founded in autumn 2003 by Apotheus Silverman and me, Zoe Airfield quickly became a meeting place for propeller heads to exchange ideas and hold aircraft-oriented events like building contests. Many of today's prominent aircraft builders were among the original Zoe Airfield group members. Apotheus and I later moved our operation to Abbotts, where it became Abbotts Aerodrome.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any snapshots of the 2nd anniversary celebration, and I took down the Zoe Airfield re-creation too early, thinking the event was just the one day. Oops.
