 |
|
Finally got a much needed full day of Kolb flying in on Saturday, literally the first decent WX weekend all spring. Had a great flight, the Firestar ran beautifully. There are a lot of bigger RV's, GA & Warbirds at this fly-in, but the Firestar seems to always draws a crowd. WX got a bit hot & windy on the flight back and took me 2.5 hrs to get home (about 110 miles). Climbed to 4800 agl & still was into 800 fpm thermals! Ended up dropping down to around 700' & just enjoyed the scenery all the way home. Flew a total of 5.7 hrs, just about as much as I've flown all year!
Looking forward to more good weekends,

Bob,
I flew up there in Dec of last year, and a photographer from Austin takes pics of everyone who flies in, then files them by N#. He gave me an 8 x 10 photo and a CD of all of last years pics. He does not sell them, just gives them away! Their EAA Chapter is 1st class, and has a big Young Eagles program. It was too hot on Saturday to be wearing all that garb I had on in that photo, but I enjoyed it so much I had to throw it in. If you look at the description on the photo, I note it was taken last year.
Summer is already here, going to be 94 today.

Jimmy,
Thanks for the pictures, looks like it was a good one.
Wish I had thought about it and told you about a fly-in at Dry Creek on Saturday.
It was my big "70" birthday bash.
A lot of my friends just fly over and if my hanger door is open they stop in.
You are welcome to stop in any time.
