Had a great time at S & F. Great to see a number of you that stopped by as I kept station on Auto row answering questions. I flew down on Sunday morning from Goosecreek. Lifted off at 0920 here and touched down at Lakeland at 1220 exactly 3 hours later with 15 gallons left on board - tail winds are nice.
Didn't know whether I would still be here to fly back on Sunday after the horrific lightening storm that occurred Saturday night. I'm sure I've been closer and counted more lightening strikes as I huddled in my tent about 10 ft from a tree - but, can't remember when{:>).
Took off at 1010 Sunday morning. Had a twin that started rolling before me, caught him just past the end of the runway and found myself pulling ahead and outclimbing him. But - it was an older twin - not one of the turbine types {:>). Climbed up to 9500 MSL where you could see forever with the snow white tops down around 4000msl. Only other aircraft I saw was a Lear jet a couple thousand feet above me. Flew non-stop back to Goosecreek landing at 1345 - had a bit of a head wind on return. Nice to see that the hangar was still there!!
