A weekend of flying!

We spent Friday morning getting groceries to stock up the motor home for a weekend stay at the Toledo field.  While Vera was baking, I loaded the last planes and swap meet items.  The clouds and sky looked really pretty when we arrived Saturday morning and Vera had me take the picture above.

This is some of the stuff I brought to sell, Jim is giving it the once over.

This is how it looked at Noon, there wasn't a big turn out because it did not get advertised much.  I had a good time and the food was great.

The skydivers were jumping out of a helicopter today, three per trip, it was the first time I had seen that.  They were also taking up eight at a time in a turbine powered plane.  Vera had made me an apple ice cream treat that I had this evening that was really good.

I got to do night flying with the two planes I brought.  This is a test flight before it was completely dark to trim out the Alienator.

It was much darker for the next flight, I am just getting ready to launch the Alienator, the picture was taken by our friend Dick and I borrowed it to use here.  I was surprised by how much the LEDs lit up the ground, I could fly by at 15 or 20 feet and a large area underneath it was visible.

I flew the Katana next, and I was right, the landing light was so bright that it was blinding me when I came in to land.  I forgot to put the shields around it.  I slept good Saturday night, it had been a big day.  I think it has been a couple of years since we spent a night in the motor home.

This is Sunday morning, it was a cooler day with a few very light sprinkles.  The turn out today was even smaller, but we had a good time and we sold some kits.  I think we were all packed up and headed home about four.  After hooking up the power and unloading the food from the motor home, we settled in for a nice quiet evening.
