Flying at Toledo

I was up early this morning, all excited about going flying. After a quick breakfast and email check I was headed out shortly after 8:00. I managed to flood the motor home and it took about 5 minutes to get it restarted. Then it was off to Subway to get a sandwich for lunch and I was at the field about 9:00. There was still a little frost around but I got in 3 or 4 flights before anyone else showed up.

My second flight of the day was with the camera plane. Today I remembered to put it into the photo mode where it takes a picture every 5 seconds. I was surprised how far the plane travels in 5 seconds so I will probably set it for 2 seconds next time. The picture above was taken as I was flying West back towards the field.

This is later in the day, Audrey is shooting a touch n go and I was following her trying to get a picture.

I am not sure what this hill or mountain is, we are going to take some maps and a compass with us next time to find out.

This is some of what I flew today. The wind came up suddenly while I was flying the camera plane and blew that white Sukoi off the table and broke the prop. I ended up getting 12 flights on 6 different airplanes today, plus some club members we had not seen for a while showed up. After I got home and unloaded, James called and wanted me to get on Xbox so I could talk to and listen to them play their new game. I played one of the games that is here and did a little practicing while I listened. When James had leave for practice I quit also and came in to do this.

I hope you got to enjoy a little of that sunshine we had today.
