Well the rain finally move out and today we had a fairly decent turn out at the field. Jim Treace came all the way from Jacksonville Florida by way of Pairs Tennessee and was the first one at the field. He brought a truck full of planes and his two grandkids. His SpitFire is a true piece of art work. Pictures do not do it justice. He was the first one to put up. And a little later he put both his grand kids on his RingMaster. Future pilots. Jackie Scott showed up a little later with his P-Force. Man those are nice flying planes. And Jackie call spell Force, unlike some people spelling it Phorce.
Then one by one people started showing up and before we knew it we had a whole flock of planes on the ground and in the air. Kenny Perkins came out and had some special fuel and tried to set a new speed record with a fast combat plane. Nelson 36 engine and he got it up to about 135mph! Whew! That thing was FAST! At noon we fired up the grill and Jim brought all the food! Right down to cookies. Yum-Yum. After lunch everyone was ready to fly. I brought my hand-me down Green Stunter. I took the McCoy .40 out and dropped in a OS FP .40. Much better. I really like the way it fly’s. I think I have a new tool to work on my pattern. I even worked on my Bi-Slob skills. Too much fun was had by all.
