The forecast for today was great, so we headed to the LCRC field early. There was still lots of dew on the grass and only Vera and I were there, so I got the Slow Stick out, walked out in the field and made some passes between Vera and myself. It is probably the ugliest airplane I own, but a blast to fly, I don't think the radar gun goes low enough to record it's slow flight. I shot a bunch of landings and ended up flying it 25 minutes. There were just five of us out there today, kind of surprising considering how nice it was.
I was taking pictures of the clouds and decided to shoot a panorama of the flying field. I went into the scene mode and found a setting where you push the shutter button, hold it and swing the camera 180 degrees. It turned out pretty good, a lot easier than taking a bunch of pictures and having to stitch them together.
Just before we headed home, I set a couple of models in front of the sign and took a picture that I put on Facebook. It turned out so good, I decided to use it here.
After we got home and I was unloading the motor home, I heard a round engine airplane coming. I hopped into the motor home and grabbed the camera, with the 42X zoom, I got a pretty good picture of this biplane. It looks like a Stearman, but the landing gear is different, so I am not sure what it is. After I put the motor home away, I settled in to watch Thursday night football.
