We got down to Goble about 9 this morning and the first thing I noticed was that the field had not been mowed. I unloaded a few things so we would have room in the motor home and started mowing. It went good and I was done in about an hour and then I started flying.
It wasn't long until we had some excitement, a former member who was coming down to rejoin the club got hit as he was turning into the driveway. The van tried to pass just as he made his turn.
Here I am with my best boot forward, I sure enjoy flying the Corsair.
The hay surrounding the runway had been cut and they came in to rake it this afternoon. The new equipment they use now sure does a nice job.
This afternoon, they started baling it. We really enjoyed watching the baler operate. Vera asked them how they knew when a bale was ready to dump. It turned out there is a pressure gauge they watch and they dump it when it gets to a certain pressure. The guy also told her that they go a little beyond that to get a nice tight bale.
A big flock of birds flew over while we were there, no one seemed to know what they were. When we got home, I did some research online and it turns out they are pelicans.
The meeting and fun fly that were scheduled for today did not happen, so I did lots of flying. This is the line up of what I flew today, 13 flights, two on each plane except 3 on the Sukhoi.
