We headed out early this morning to do some flying at Toledo. The sky and clouds were beautiful all day. You can see a couple of my planes and the helicopter on the bench. Against the cloud at the top center is Leonard and Audrey's Moonraker.
The Moonraker on final to a landing. Mt St Helens was visible all day, while we hardly caught a glimpse of Mt Rainier. Five other fliers showed up to fly with us. I put a video camera on one plane, but must have pushed the wrong button as I did not get any video. I guess it is time to get the directions out again.
There was lots of activity at the Toledo Airport all day. There were two jump planes taking up skydivers continuously. The picture is a tandem jump, two people on one chute. They were towing a glider up with a vehicle most of the day, it does not look like they are high enough to make a safe landing some times, but it always came back up later.
When we got home and unloaded, Vera and I were pulling some weeds and messing around with the bird feeder when I saw the Wild Iris was in bloom. Time to whip out the cell phone and take a picture.
Again the knee held up good, less swelling than other trips to the field and no soreness. I used to ride home from the flying field trying to find a position of the knee that relieved the pain. Since the operation, No Pain even after a six hour session of flying. I sure have lots to be thankful for!
Hope you got to enjoy the sunshine!
