Hi All, 

Saw the last of Bill Cruthers as we split prior to entering the holding

pattern over Lake Parker on Thursday.  The trip was uneventful except

for Bill's broken headset which made the first half NORDO for all

intents.  I gave Bill my second headset at our fuel stop at Alma and the

rest of the flight down went well until we got to the Lake where we had

to hold forever due to departures from KLAL.   I got tired of doing left

hand circles and diverted the Zepher Hills to cool my heels for a few

minutes, returned to the lake and got right in.

I was trying to depart with Cappy on Saturday AM, but you have to get up

really early to keep up with him. "You're retired now Steve!  Sleep

later!" Since the weather up north was crappy on Saturday I planned to

head for Sandy Creek Airpark near Panama City to meet up with my old Air

Force buddy, Ed O'Connor.  Ed and I flew OV-10's together in Vietnam and

later as IPs at Hurlburt Field in Wt. Walton Beach.  Ed just finished

his RV-8 and flew it for the first time two weeks ago.  Since he

couldn't get his Phase I testing complete in time for Sun-n-Fun we had

our own airshow over his airpark on Sunday before I left for Gold Hill.

Ed and I last flew formation together in 1976 so it was great to get

back together again after 30 years!  

Made it back to NC25 in the early afternoon and will be busy doing some

maintenance on "Miss Izzy" for a few days.  Hope everyone had a great

trip and came home safely.

"Miss Izzy" looked great out there on the line Ron. It is already in some of

the SnF photo postings! 



Hope all is well and the maintenance is minor.



We flew back on Sunday as a 3-ship .. Ken and Steve, Patty and me, plus

Bill. Went to Brooksville and picked up Nancy and then to Cedar Key for

lunch. Afterwards on to KCUB. After taking a break at KCUB, Bill headed

home. Good trip.



Our most "interesting" time was Saturday night's "weather event". We were

surprised that out tents didn't get blown away or that we didn't get flooded

out!
