Flying

Vera went to church today, and I went flying at Toledo.  I am sure glad I didn't wear shorts today, it was pretty cool all day.  I must be used to the sun we have been having, because I just looked and the high was 67.  We had ten flyers there today, my student is doing great, he soloed my Champ today and I expect him to solo his Cub next time.  Kids sure pick it up fast, he is 12!
This Chinook made a low pass down the Toledo airport runway today, then he turned around and came back just South of us.  Later I saw another one flying up the Cowlitz River pretty low.  I managed to ding one helicopter today, I had on my really dark sunglasses and I couldn't tell which way it was going.  One disadvantage to a camouflaged helicopter or airplane.  I was really watching my Mustang close after that little incident, since it is olive drab.
