What did you fly today?

Gee whiz, 2days in a row - out of work at 3 PM and winds are 15 - 25 and gusty. Maybe tomorrow...

Ugh! Man I hate when the weather does that. Hope you get some stick time soon, the hardest thing to do is land on the pond with the high winds hitting

Similar problem with only pavement or hard dirt with various size small rocks up to an inch or so. About a week ago, a nasty gust slammed my Stearman into the pavement from about a foot over the runway and sorely tested those shock struts. It actually did break the glue joint with the gear mount in the foam, but fortunately it was a clean easy fix.
CAVU and calm winds hopefully coming soon to both of our areas, once that polar jet stream finishes it’s yearly migration north.

Yes, I'm looking forward to that!

At the field today...great weather for flying here. ANYWAY...check out the RC skydiver one of the club members has...so cool!!

[rifleman_btx]

Thats pretty cool

I got the T6 and the Cub in the car for after work...winds are forecast < 10 kts.

Final approach...full flaps. This is one of the best pictures I now have of my A-10.

That's why I've been gettin' in some sunrise flights. Really nice until right about noon...

[BluesDragon]

Woohoo... I'm on a streak here! Up to 9 batteries run without needing to break out the Foam Tac! Feelin' good.... :)

DOAHHH! Don’t jinx yourself.
I’’lll be flying at AMPS around 4 PM if you are in the neighborhood and have a break.

You would swear that's the real thing. Nice shot!

Great one Lon,
I love the pics that make you guess, is it real??
Of course it is, it's just small:):)

Yeah, I've been "knockin' on wood" quite a bit today. Was up in the area today, closed and picked up the keys on the new home. Final walk through was yesterday. I stopped by the field just to time it back to the house... 15 minutes. Makes the house payment just that much easier... :)

[Shirty]

Lol, grats.

great pic Lon.

[F22trainer]

4 flights with the Cub while the winds slowly dwindled, then 3 flight batteries with the T-6, seems my landings with it are still poor. I either get the ‘bunny hop’ or stall it 6” inches above the pavement. Both finish with a ground loop. I don’t seem to have very much right rudder authority on the ground - but I think it’s the wheel and not rudder itself because it is adequate on takeoff. Taxiing has very little right turn - nearly none with left xwind on ground. Yes, I am using full up elevator on ground.

Yes, just small...the person taking pics had some $$$$ in photo equipment. Anyway, the brown truck showed up at my house today, and, no plane...NEW CAMERA!!!! (Sony a6000) So, hope i can catch some top quality photos and HD video myself. l hope to get some camera time in, so at least halfway efficient with new camera come NEFI time.

Thanks everyone on the compliments on the A-10 photo..all the credit goes to Dave and his equipment, that took the picture.
