A great day of Flying!

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.
