A big day of flying!

We were the first ones at the Toledo field and the last ones to leave, it was a great day of flying.  During the course of the day, we had about 20 club members there.  I did a rough count from our pictures and my memory (not always the best way to do it) and there were about 40 airplanes and 6 helicopters there today.
I put in two more flights on the B-36 today, the landing on the last one was my best one yet, it settled on the main gear and ran along with the nose wheel in the air for 50 or 60 feet.
The last plane I flew today was the Spacewalker of my friend Dick Evans, it is a cute little plane and flies great.  There was a big discussion about this bird they could hear (I don't hear them after 40 years at the Fibre), they finally spotted it in the only tree around and I got a picture of what I understand is a meadowlark.
The sun was getting pretty low by the time we left, we took our normal slow way home and had a good time talking over the day.
