Finally some flying weather!

Yes, it was pretty good flying weather until about 2:00, then the dark clouds rolled in and we could see rain coming.  Several of us made one more quick flight before packing up and heading home.  The picture is of Bob's new P-47 Thunderbolt, I got to test fly it, and it is a keeper, in fact we flew it a couple more times just because it was so much fun and looked so good flying by!  I also put a test flight on the black and red Swift, on the first take off, the canopy fell off.  That made an interesting trip around the pattern to land.  We taped it on for the next flight and I got it pretty well trimmed out, it and the P-47 lands nice and slow, they were making me look good!  My best landings today were with other people's planes, I bounced the Bonanza so bad on the first landing that I took off again and made a little better one the second try.  I also got to fly Galen's Waco again today, boy does it sound good.  When I got home and had the motor home put away, I came in and downloaded the pictures from today, edited some of them but I got so sleepy that I went in, settled into my chair and watched some TV.  I think there were some naps in that couple of hours, because I feel great now.
