A Sunny Day, time for some flying!

It was foggy this morning so I was not in a big hurry to head for Toledo to fly.  I made a stop over to see the girls, then got the motor home out and slowly loaded it.  One of the first things I noticed when I got to the field was the new snow on Mt. St. Helens.  My first flight was on the Super Cub with the new battery in it.  I had the motor on for 10 minutes during the flight, which is much longer than I got with the old setup.  My second and third flights were about 16 minutes of motor run and I still had about 30% left in the battery.  I helped a prospective new member do some setup on his helicopter, he is a friend of Vera's niece.  We had a pretty good turn out, there were 8 club members and 1 guest.
An Army Blackhawk helicopter made a touch and go at the airport, the first time I have seen one do that, then they headed on North.  I flew until almost 5 and then headed home.
