A beautiful day for flying!
First thing this morning we ran down to NAPA and picked up the lawn mower keys, a quick stop at the store and then home to load the mower. We got to the field about 10, I unloaded the roller and mower, mowed about half the runway and put it away. I set up my new radar gun with a remote readout, I tried it first with the gun on a tripod across the runway out of the way. It turned out that it is darn hard to make a pass right over it, I only got one reading the whole flight. I took it off the tripod and we hand held it, aiming it at the plane, that worked much better! Later, we got a 134 mph reading on the F-4. I flew 6 of my planes, 1 helicopter and had a great time. I also test flew two planes for other flyers. We ended up with 9 members there flying today. Vera made an apple pie after we got home and it is delicious!
