Flying at Toledo

It was a quick breakfast and email session this morning. Then I got the trailer hooked up and the mower loaded. The club mower is broke so I decided to take mine up and mow. It took about an hour to get most of the runway mowed. Our friends Leonard and Audrey showed up just as I finished so it was time for some flying. The first flight of the day was on the Eurofighter, it does the nicest flat spins. I got one of my nicer landings with it today. After that success I was ready to try the new camera plane. I test flew it with a weighted cowl replacing the camera. The first flight went great so I landed and put the camera on.
This is a screen capture from the video as the plane comes in for a landing from the North.
This screen capture is from the South end of the field. I put 3 flights on the camera plane, 2 on my SU-29 and one on the Eurofighter.
All loaded and ready to head home!

Shortly after we got home it hailed, it was the weirdest hail. On the deck it kind of mushed into piles of ice.
Out in the grass it bounced like we are used to seeing hail do. Bev came by and picked up her computer and we had a nice visit. The moon is supposed to be big tonight, but my first trip outside all I saw were clouds.
