Well I glued a new rudder on the Ringmaster, fired up the old Fox .29 on the Shoestring and charged the glow starter.
Just checked the forecast and it looks like we will be enjoying some of the best weather in the US tomorrow! See you there.

Tourists are in town, in droves.

See you there.

Yep- I saw the FHP on Wed when I drove over to Clearwater for family Thanksgiving. For the guys coming from Tampa they had a "Wolf pack"  lined up on the East bound on-ramp at the east end of Lakeland, I saw about 6 up on the ramp and 4-5 more had cars pulled over, so use your cruise control.

Wow!
Yesterday was another outstanding day at Ridge Barnstormers of Lake Wales.
Sincere thanks to Phil Coopy and his club for once again hosting the Fly In.  AP^ CLP**

Hopefully our new field will be ready in the early spring so we can reciprocate.

What Roger said!!!  I had a ball.  The weather was great.  There was a very good turnout with lots of planes on the flightline and lots of flying.  The burgers and brats were great also.  Thanks to Phil Coopy and the Ridge Barnstormers for making this fun day possible.  I am already looking forward to doing it again next year.

Hope someone will post some photos.  Like a dummy, I forgot to put my camera in the car.
