Sunday Flying

Holy Cow was it cold at the flying field this morning. I was darn glad I had my Under Armour on and it was not long until I got back in the motor home and put on my insulated boots. I also turned on the furnace so I had somewhere warm to go. After adding the boots and another jacket I was pretty comfortable outside, a lot more so than the others there.
This how it looked at 11:30, the fog had lifted but it was still damp and cold. We ended up with 8 flyers before the day was over and had a good time.
Rob had two new planes he test flew today. The motor quit on this Sparrow Hawk and he is making a deadstick landing. This is at 12:30 and conditions had improved quite a bit. It was nice flying weather from then until about 3:30 when the wind came up and blew my Stearman off the table. Now I have a broken tail to fix. That was a good sign it was time to head home and watch the Seahawks game that I had recorded.
Hope you stayed warm today!
