What did you fly today?

[Oxotnik]

Today, I drove up to Tullahoma, TN, to fly with the Coffee County Airfoilers. They hosted a float fly in the morning on the reservoir near Arnold Air Force Base. I flew my EFlite Timber and Pulse 15e (both converted to floats, obviously). Then, after lunch, I went to their regular field to fly some warbirds (Freewing FW-190, Freewing F-86, and FlightLine P-38). My home field is a full-scale private runway (grass) and I've gotten used to having lots of room for take offs and landings. The Coffee Airfoilers' paved runway is quite narrow, and I had a hard time lining up on it, usually landing in the short grass near the paved strip. New fields are always different and it takes time to develop the line-up pattern for landing. Had a great time flying with those guys and am planning to go back next week for their large-scale warbird fly-in.

Here are couple videos from today.

Yes an Amphitheater that holds Summer/Fall concerts. I've spoken with some of the folks who work there and they are okay with me flying there as long as I know what I'm doing and they said it looks like I do, and my reply:

"Depends on the day." LOL

ROFL - can I ever relate to that.

Had a fun day at my club field today. Flew my P-38 (against a 1100mm Zero), Freewing Mossie, PZ FW-190 (maidened, a new-to-me plane), Freewing F-86, and a foamy wing (Protech Vortex, with a Power 10 motor and 7x6 prop). I absolutely love flying my Lightning and Sabre. What great models they are!!! I can't wait for my 1.6m Spitfire to come in.

I am planning on going to Tullahoma on Saturday for the warbird fly in. I live about 30 miles away from the club field.

I'm 1.5 hrs south, in Huntsville, AL. I am headed back up to Tullahoma this weekend, too. I have a high-power model rocket launch outside of Manchester on Saturday, and will stay the night with a friend and go to the Warbird Fly-in on Sunday.

Sunday is supposed to be the best weather wise. I watched our weather report on the evening news and are calling for rain chances on Friday and some on Saturday for the warbird fly in Tullahoma Tennessee hopefully the rain will hold off for this weekend.

We're having a new runway dedication event that day that's open to the public and I'm doing the warbird show and demo there with my buddy Jared so I'll be taking and flying a bunch of different planes. The AMA sent me a nice plaque (dated July 22, 2017) and pin, they said they never had anyone do this so they don't have a patch.

Thanks guys, it's been really fun and now it's just a natural thing for me to fly everyday...I flew four hours solid today and only stopped to change batteries and take a wizz ;)

The Hobby Squawk community has been very encouraging and has taught me so much, flying everyday has helped me put what I've learned here to use and has made me a better pilot.

You know I feel blessed to call you a friend and I am proud of you and your accomplishments. Looking forward to spending time with you next Saturday as the club dedicates the new runway and you celebrate achieving your 1 year goal. :Cool: It is because of this forum that we were able to meet and I am really glad that happened.

We flew a bunch of stuff today, one of our new members brought over his new FMS P-51 and a Night VisionAire and I got to fly both of them...the Night VisionAire is a must have. Then I maidened my FMS FireFly, it did great look forward to getting it out at night. Then we watched the quad guys go crazy on the course while I flew one of our guys drones, crazy good pics and videos.

The last one is an overhead of my bunker...

I got out early this morning and flew because we are headed out of town on a camping trip and wanted to make sure I got my daily flight in.

Took the Thunderbolts and the Little Bird out early this morning to beat the heat. Conditions were almost dead calm, and it was too good a day to pass up flying!
