Hugh Wiedman I couldn't tell you. I haven't flown anywhere in years. I get emails from WestJet twice a week about deals but I never look at them as I'm not quite ready to be packed into a sardine can. I think prices are climbing now that travel is starting to pick up post-pandemic. Coach may be too pricey for me these days. My last flight anywhere was Orlando to Mickeyville.

This morning ........................

Nice, what are your round trip tickets cost in coach these days for the Westjet! I'm sure I couldn't afford to charter the PJ, so I'll have to travel with the rest of the peons!

Nice morning at the field. Good news coming our way in that we are getting a club house!!
It'll be a nice improvement especially when the weather gets nasty or the wind gets up.
Dave had his B1 out today, although I missed the maiden, got some pics of her on her cradle


Had P-1 and the Bitcat out for some flights, last time I had BBD and my Spitfire out, first flights of the season for both.




It was nice to see some old fashioned camaraderie today between those with a lot of knowhow passing on what they knew to those that didn't.
You know who you are.

Finally, we are getting some spring weather here in WV. I felt like a little 1950s era aviation was in order.

These two never let me down.

Diane isn't doing too well, out to the heart doctor this morning to see if the fluid is building up again. We can't afford the Biden gas price hikes either so we'll be having a staycation this year.

Yepper, the ol' NEFI now known as the "All electric fun fly and swap meet". I would luv to trek all the way over to your neck of the woods but with the stupid gas prices I can only afford the 600 miles to Muncie this year. It's been 5 years since I was there last, so am really looking forward to it, My sweetie is coming this time now that she's retired. Am putting plans together for next year on what I'm calling the grand tour which would include a stop in WY.

Nefi, or are you swinging out here to the dry and nasty part of the country?

[OV10]

Even though you're out in the middle of nowhere, am jealous that ya got a paved runway. By the way bud, guess where I'm headed in June.

[Grossman56]

Ron and I had the two newly painted Pandoras out for their first flights in their new colors. Met Dave Gee out there with his super detailed corsair!


Unfortunately, the weather started blowing in with our next round of either rain or snow.
Springtime in the Rockies!

That's all the meat you got off of those two deers? 4 sausages and half a pot of chili?

That's all he could wrestle away from the gators.

Flew my fms version p51 and fline corsair.. i to wasnt a fan of the blue.. lucky 4 me i did not have to paint mine, daveegee u did a great job.... my new club feild is well under construction now ,, cant wait .. there is ton of kangaroos in the area,, yet to c if thats a problem

Nice looking plane! Glad FMS had the wisdom to make an authentic paint scheme from the 361st Fighter Group, that flew out of Bottisham England in WWII. Definitely not a fan of the stock paint scheme from E-Flite, but really like the plane itself.
Have fun with your airplane, and enjoy your new flying field when it is ready to go. Hopefully you can shoo the roos off the runway when you want to fly!

Cheers
