WHAT ARE WE UP TO TODAY?

 

Sunday morning arrived with fog but before long it started to clear and bring broken cloud cover. After a brief pilots meeting planes started taking to the sky. I am going to let the pictures tell the story, after all a picture is worth a thousand words.

You tell me, real or model.

Well that was it for us, time to pack up and head for home. It was a great weekend. Until the next time, take care and thanks for stopping by.

 

 WHAT ARE WE UP TO TODAY? 

                          The first day didn't turn out the best, it rained and rained and rained. Finally it stopped enough that some flew.

Come 5  o'clock we headed up to the airport office to have the pilot draw. As always there were some nice gifts. When my name got called I headed up to pick my prize. There were a couple of nice tote bags, so I picked one that Pat could use for her camera. After that we headed to the T-Bone restaurant for a great dinner, with 36 registered pilots and some with their wives, we totaled 55 sitting down to dinner. Great food and conversation was had by all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. With that over Pat and I headed back to the airport for a relaxing evening and night in our 5th wheel.

Until the next time, take care.

    WHAT ARE WE UP TO TODAY?

We are at the Chatham - Kent Airport taking part in the Chatham Aeronauts Scale Rally. This is a two day event in flying Radio Control Aircraft. I like to come down early on the Friday to get set up. This is a weekend of dry camping out on the edge of the field down from the end of the runway. we arrived around 12:30 after a little over an hour drive from home, signed in and got set up.

It was a breezy afternoon with mostly clear skies.  there were a few other fliers here getting set up and so some were already flying. So I took a walk down the flight line to see who was here.





Here is Carl from Wisconsin with a Canadian DC3

Great flying on a Friday afternoon before he event actually gets started on Saturday. I even got some flying in Saturday night.

It was great to get that first flight in.
